Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Aye, ya heard about the good news?
Y'all sleeping on me, huh, had a good snooze?
Wake up, ****, wake up
We 'bout to get this paper
[Verse 2]
Money never made me
Make me do something, nah, can't make me
Even if the money low, can't pay me
Even if the money low, can't play me
[Verse 3]
Aye, ya heard about the good news?
Y'all sleeping on me, huh, had a good snooze?
Wake up, ****, wake up
We 'bout to get this paper
[Verse 4]
Pablo bought a Rolie and a rottweiler
Seem like the more fame, I only got wilder
Hands up, we just doing what the cops taught us
Hands up, we just doing what the cops taught us
I been outta my mind a long time
I been outta my mind a long time
I be saying how I feel at the wrong time
Might not come when you want, but I'm on time
[Verse 5]
Aye, ya heard about the good news?
Y'all sleeping on me, huh, had a good snooze?
Wake up, ****, wake up
We 'bout to get this paper
[Verse 6]
I can't let these people play me
Name one genius that ain't crazy
Follow our father
You borrow our motto
I'm a Chicago South sider
I'm a Chicago South sider
[Verse 7]
Aye, ya heard about the good news?
Y'all sleeping on your boy, had a good snooze?
Wake up, ****, wake up
It's time to get the paper
[Verse 8]
I been outta my mind a long time
I been outta my mind a long time
I know, I know, I shouldn't even bother
With all these gossiping, no-pussy-getting bloggers
Fashion show in Gotham, I need another costume
PETA mad 'cause I made a jacket outta possum
Awesome, Steve Jobs mixed with Steve Austin
Rich slave in the fabric store picking cotton
If Hov Jay, then every Jordan need a Rodman
Man, Jay, they don't really want no problems
Driving in the same car that they killed Pac in
Driving in the same, er, they killed Pac in
Hands up, we just doing what the cops taught us
Hands up, hands up, then the cops shot us
[Verse 9]
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Wait a second
Everybody here, I'm the ghetto Oprah
You know what that mean
You get a fur, you get a fur
You get a jet, you get a jet
Big booty bitch for you, ooh
