GET ME SOME [Spoken Intro] They say money ain’t everything… And they’re right. But have you ever tried being broke? Ha-ha! As long as that machine keeps printing it, I’m gon’ keep getting it! [Verse 1] I remember putting five on the pump, Praying it would last ’til Friday. Stretching one meal for two whole days, Trying to make it go my way. Used to check my account before I ordered, Had to watch every nickel and dime. Now I’m filling up without looking at the price, Because struggling got old with time. I don’t worship money, But I respect what it can do. Keep the lights on in my house And put some leather on my shoes. I’ve eaten noodles for dinner, With nothing but hope on the side. Now bring that steak out sizzling— Medium-well, cooked just right! [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need to own the whole world, I just want my piece of it. If opportunity starts knocking, I’m opening the door to it. [Chorus] As long as they’re printing money, I’m gon’ get me some. I ain’t waiting on a handout, I’m gon’ hustle ’til it comes. Money ain’t everything, But it keeps me comfortable. I’d rather be eating steaks— I got tired of Lunchables. As long as they’re printing money, I’m gon’ get me some. Every day I’m chasing freedom From the rising of the sun. Money ain’t everything, But being broke ain’t wonderful. I’d rather be eating steaks— I got tired of Lunchables! [Verse 2] Comfort means my mama’s good, And my children have what they need. An unexpected bill can hit, And it won’t bring me to my knees. Comfort means the tank stays full, And the refrigerator does too. I can take a little vacation Whenever I feel I need to. They say money can’t buy happiness— I know that saying is true. But it can buy you time and options When trouble comes looking for you. I don’t need a closet full of labels Just to show the world I won. I want land, a paid-off house, And money working while I’m having fun. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need to own the whole world, I just want my piece of it. If opportunity starts knocking, I’m opening the door to it. [Chorus] As long as they’re printing money, I’m gon’ get me some. I ain’t waiting on a handout, I’m gon’ hustle ’til it comes. Money ain’t everything, But it keeps me comfortable. I’d rather be eating steaks— I got tired of Lunchables. As long as they’re printing money, I’m gon’ get me some. Every day I’m chasing freedom From the rising of the sun. Money ain’t everything, But being broke ain’t wonderful. I’d rather be eating steaks— I got tired of Lunchables! [Bridge – Call and Response] Can money buy real love? (No, it can’t!) Can it keep the lights on? (Yes, it can!) Can it buy peace of mind? (Not every time!) But when that rent comes due— (It sure comes in handy!) I’ve been down to my last, And I don’t want no encore. I know exactly how broke feels— I don’t wanna feel it anymore! [Verse 3] Every dollar has an assignment, I don’t just throw it in the air. Some goes toward my future, Some lets me know I’m getting there. I put a little into business, Put a little to the side. And when I want to treat myself, I do it without asking why. This ain’t greed, this is freedom, There’s a difference—understand. I’m not trying to look important, I’m just sticking to the plan. Because poverty taught me lessons That I never could forget. If there’s money left to make, Then I ain’t finished working yet! [Final Chorus] As long as they’re printing money, I’m gon’ get me some. I ain’t waiting on a handout, I’m gon’ hustle ’til it comes. Money ain’t everything, But it keeps me comfortable. I’d rather be eating steaks— I got tired of Lunchables. As long as they’re printing money, I’m gon’ get me some. I’m not asking for permission, And I’m not stopping when I’m done. Money ain’t everything, But being broke ain’t wonderful. Pass me another steak— I got tired of Lunchables! [Outro] Yeah… I know money ain’t everything. But neither is being broke! As long as they keep printing it, I’m gon’ keep getting me some. Now bring that steak on out here! Ha-ha!
