Lyrics
[Verse 1]
96,000
Damn
96,000
Dollars? Holler
96,000
Yo, somebody won
96,000
[Verse 2]
Yo
If I won the lotto tomorrow
Well, I know I wouldn't bother going on no spending spree
I pick a business school and pay the entrance fee
Then maybe if you're lucky, you'll stay friends with me
I'll be a businessman, richer than Nina's daddy
Donald Trump and I on the links, and he's my caddy
My money's making money, I'm goin' from poor to mo' dough
Keep the bling, I want the brass ring, like Frodo
[Verse 3]
Oh, no, here goes Mr. Braggadocio
Next thing you know, you're lying like Pinocchio
If you're scared of the bull, stay out the rodeo
Yo, I got more hoes than a phone book in Tokyo
Ooh, you better stop rappin', you not ready
It's gonna get hot and heavy
And you already sweaty
[Verse 4]
Yo-yo-yo, yo
Yo-yo, I'm sorry is that an answer?
Shut up, go home, and pull ya damn pants up
As for you, Mr. Frodo of the shire
Ninety-six G's ain't enough to retire
C'mon, I'll have enough to knock your ass off its axis
You'll have a knapsack full of jack after taxes
[Verse 5]
96,000
Ay, alabanza
96,000
No me diga
96,000
I never win shit
96,000
[Verse 6]
For real, though, imagine how it would feel going real slow
Down the highway of life with no regrets
And no breaking your neck for respect, or a paycheck
For real, though, I'll take a break from the wheel and we'll throw
The biggest block party, everybody here
It's a weekend when we can breathe, take it easy
[Verse 7]
Yo ma, it's me, check my tickets
Check 1, 2, 3
What would you do with ninety-six G's
Who me?
I mean if it's just between you and me
Esa pregunta es tricky
I know
Ninety-six G's
I'd start my life with a brand new lease
Atlantic City with a Malibu breeze
And a brand new weave
Or maybe just bleach
Y'all are freaks
[Verse 8]
Yo, I'm just saying
It's silly when we get into these crazy hypotheticals
You really want some bread, then go ahead, create a set of goals
And cross them off the list and you pursue 'em
And with those ninety-six
I know precisely what I'm doing
What you doing?
What am I doing? What am I doing?
It takes most of that cash just to save my ass from financial ruin
Sonny can keep the coffee brewing
I'll spend a few on you
'Cause the the only room with a view is a room with you in it
And I could give Abuela Claudia the rest of it
Just fly me down to Puerto Plata, I'll make the best of it
You really love this business?
No
Tough, merry Christmas
You're now the youngest tycoon in Washington Hiznits
[Verse 9]
Yo-oh, oh, oh
Yo, with 96,000, I'd finally fix housing
Give the barrio computers, wireless web browsin'
Your kids are living without a good edu-macation
Change the station, teach 'em about gentrification
The rent is escalating
What?
The rich are penetrating
What?
We pay our corporations when we should be demonstrating
What?
What about immigration?
What?
Politicians be hating
What?
Racism in this nation's gone from latent to blatant (Woo)
I'll cash my ticket and pick it, invest in protest
Never lose my focus till the city takes notice
And you know this, man
I'll never sleep
Because the ghetto has a million promises for me to keep
You are so cute
I was just thinking off the top of my head
[Verse 10]
Ninety-six K, goal
If I win the lottery
You'll never see me again
Damn, we're only joking, stay broke, then
I'll be downtown
Get a nice studio
Get out of the barrio (For real, though)
If I win the lottery (Imagine how it'd feel to go real slow)
You'll wonder where I've been (Down the highway of life with no regrets, and no breakin' your neck for respect)
(Yo)
I'll be downtown
See you around
[Verse 11]
If I win the lottery (Ninety-six G's)
You won't see a lot of me (Oh)
I'll be downtown
See you around (My own)
If I (My own)
[Verse 12]
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, yeah
I'll be downtown (Whoa, oh, oh)
Whoa, oh, oh
You can pay off your debts (Whoa, oh, oh)
We can tell everyone we know (Whoa, oh, oh)
I can get on a plane and go
We'll be swimming in dough, yo
Tip-toe and we'll get the dough
And once we get going, we're never gonna
Tip-toe and you'll get the dough
And once we get going, we're never gonna
[Verse 13]
96,000
You'll get the dough
96,000
Once we get going
96,000
You'll get the dough
And once we get going
We never gonna stop
