Song Lyrics

It's payday, get that cheese
You gotta get that cheese
Just get that cheese

Now when you're dreamin', it might not be real
But when you're all alone, that's how you feel
Do what you want, you just need a plan
Little money and a car, you could be the man

'Cause havin' money's what you're 'sposed to do
Spend some, then people start to notice you
Get all the things that you wish you had
Now all that little stuff don't get you mad

And once you get your foot in the door
Don't start actin' like you can't look for more
There's always more money to be made
It's not everything, I know you wanna be paid

You should write it down and do the math
Anything in the world is what you can have
So listen to your patnah Short
Get your money, young man, you ain't gotta be broke

Just get that cheese
While you standin' on the wall and you wishin' you can ball
Get that cheese
While you standin' on the wall and you wishin' you can ball

Get that cheese
While you bumpin' in yo Cadillac, pockets always stayin' fat
Just get that cheese
While you bumpin' in yo Cadillac, sippin' on yo' Cognac

Now grab a freak, smoke some weed
And kick it all night with this funky-ass beat
It's been a long day, gotta stay on the grind
Up early, hustle for a long time

You want big dough? You wanna get mo'?
You want a Cadillac truck and a six-fo'?
I tell all the little homies havin' money in the ghetto
One day you gotta let go but don't settle

For just hangin' on the corner broke
Fiendin' for a hit of what you wanna smoke on that dope
Free yo' mind if it's trapped in the streets
But don't starve, you know us macks have to eat

I don't care if they don't like me
Just left the bank and I'm rollin' up some light green
Now hold on to your dreams for me
'Cause life ain't always what it seems to be

You gotta get that cheese
While you standin' on the wall and you wishin' you can ball
Get that cheese
While you standin' on the wall and you wishin' you can ball

Get that cheese
While you bumpin' in yo Cadillac, pockets always stayin' fat
Just get that cheese
While you bumpin' in yo Cadillac, sippin' on yo' Cognac

(Is that Too Short?)
Baby, yeah, I'm back, it's on
You never woulda thought I could last this long
I don't associate with non-believers
If my girl keeps me naggin' me then I'ma leave her

'Cause I worked too hard for way too long
To get what I got and I'm way too strong
In yo' lifetime, if you don't get yours
Can't do no ballin' like yo' nigga Short

But once you on a roll, they can't stop it
Receivin' cheques, makin' bank deposits
And that's just the way it is
Don't come around me if you're negative

I'm the player of the year, there is no other
I buy a mansion fo' my mother
See me ridin' with the top down
I need some mo' money, can't stop now

I gotta get that cheese
While you standin' on the wall and you wishin' you can ball
Get that cheese
While you standin' on the wall and you wishin' you can ball

Get that cheese
While you bumpin' in yo Cadillac, pockets always stayin' fat
Get that cheese
While you bumpin' in yo Cadillac, sippin' on yo' Cognac

Get that cheese
Get that cheese
Get that cheese
While you bumpin' in yo Cadillac
Get that cheese
