Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I want the money, money and the cars
Cars and the clothes
I suppose
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
[Verse 2]
Ah yeah Trey, I **** feel ya
They be starin' at the money like it's unfamiliar
I get it, I live it, to me, there's nothing realer
Just enough'll solve your problems, too much'll kill ya
And when I leave, I always come right back here
The young spitter that everybody in rap fear
A lotta y'all is still soundin' like last year
The game needs change and I'm the **** cashier
Nickels for my thoughts, dimes in my bed
Quarters of the kush shape the lines in my head
Take my verses too serious, you'll hate me
'Cause I'm the one to paint a vivid picture, no HD
Yeah, I want it all, that's why I strive for it
Diss me and you'll never hear a reply for it
Any award show or party, I get fly for it
I know that it's coming, I just hope that I'm alive for it
[Verse 3]
I want the money, money and the cars
Cars and the clothes
I suppose
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
[Verse 4]
I want the money, money, money, I want a whole lotta that
'Cause all the honeys they askin', where the dollars at?
Where your head at? Tell me 'bout your scholar cap
Tryna find a way, but you never got a map
Dream chaser, risk taker
No favor, though haters
They might want me to drown, holding me down
But the throne and the crown
Is all I ever wanted, all I ever needed
If I'm the only one and don't nobody else believe it
Then keep it a secret and watch me achieve it
'Cause I know what I want now
So if you want the money, if you gotta make it
You the only one and don't nobody else believe it
Then tell 'em to beat it and watch you achieve it
Sing it if you want
[Verse 5]
I want the money, money and the cars
Cars and the clothes
I suppose
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
[Verse 6]
Yeah, I want things to go my way
But as of late, a lotta **** been going sideways
And my mother tried to run away from home
But I left somethin' in the car, and so I caught her in the driveway
And she cried to me, so I cried, too
And my stomach was soaking wet, she only five-two
And 40, that was all before I showed up
And brought a thousand dollars worth of drinks and got poured up
Damn, my reality just set in
And even when the Phantom's leased, them **** wanna get in
I do a lot of things hopin' I never had to fit in
So tryna keep up with my programs is like a dead end
My girl love me, but **** it, my heart beats slow
And right now the tour bus is lookin' like a freak show
And life changed for us every single week, so it's good
But I know this ain't the peak, though, 'cause I want the
[Verse 7]
I want the money, money and the cars
Cars and the clothes
I suppose
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
