Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
[Verse 2]
Now everybody wants a piece of my pocket
And it don't help when I'm screaming on these records that I'm rich
Calling people from my number now I block it
'Cause there's nothing worse than getting haunted by a stalking ass bitch (oh yeah)
'Cause good game I'm talk it and yet you're so true some women will have you feeling blue like Crips
I lay my feet upon the path and I walk it
I spread my wealth out or someone close will have me layin' in a ditch
I have my friends steal from me
Snatch my credit card out my wallet
Hit the town and leave outstanding bills for me
They say I got the cash for it and I can't recall one single member of my family that never asked for it
They've been kicking down doors and bustin' out floors
Can't get me on the phone so they surprise me at my shows
And everybody needs a loan plus they say they won't blow it
All I hear is "c'mon cuz you know I'm good for it" (man)
[Verse 3]
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
[Verse 4]
Now don't get me wrong 'cause being rich is such a beautiful thing
But more money, more problems, people drive me insane
Not giving no handouts no more so take advantage and flee
My goal's to set my friends up to make some paper like me
Put them in a position and make they wishes come true
So they can have multiple accounts gain interest overnight
Give 'em a million dollars, what you gone, do?
Map your life for your kid's kids or would you spend it overnight?
Now see me I do both I got unlimited funds
My daughter's life was set before her stankin' butt turned one
And it don't help that I got four or five retirement funds
So if I choose before I'm 30, I can lay in the sun
My dividends can show and prove the real meaning of fun
That's why I live by the sword but you can die by my gun
The IRS'll never sweat me or even put up a fight
'Cause I'm sure I pay more in taxes than you made in your life
Because
[Verse 5]
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
[Verse 6]
Now women these days don't want a man without a nice paycheck
So we splurge even though our lives ain't in the right place yet
Buying jewelry and some cars just to impress these whores
Meanwhile your child's poor like, "Daddy, what you left me for?"
Yeah, but it all comes back that's why I named my daughter Karma (yup)
Who's teaching me the lesson of life and making me smarter
I sweep her off her feet 'cause I'm her knight in shining armor
And I have your fucking head if anybody tries to harm her
Got to teach her about the game that most of us **** are spitting
About these scandalous ass women that get money through gifts
They'll suck a cold hard wood for some cold hard cash
Or ride a brother good to put a foot up on the gas
Of that brand new ride, pick up her friends
While you 're slippin', she slides
Drop top Benz gold diggers inside
Crazy what the world will do for money
Thinking that everything will be alright, 'cause
[Verse 7]
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
[Verse 8]
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
