Money, money, cars, cars 
Clothes, clothes, the hoes 
I suppose, yeah 

I want the money, money and the cars, cars 
And the clothes, the hoes 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 

Drizzy, ah yeah, Trey, I fuckin' feel you 
They be starin' at the money like it's unfamiliar 
I get it, I live it, to me there's nothings realer 
Just enough to solve your problems, too much will kill ya 

And when I leave I always come right back here 
The young spit'a that everybody in rap fear 
A lot of y'all are still soundin' like last year 
The game needs change and I'm the mofucking cashier 

Nickels for my thoughts, dimes in my bed 
Quarters of the kush shape the lines in my head 
Take my verses too serious, ya 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 
Dis me and you'll never hear a reply for it 
Any awards show or party I get fly for it 
I know that it's comin' I just hope that I'm alive for it 

I want the money, money and the cars, cars 
And the clothes, the hoes 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 

Yeah, I want things to go my way 
But as of late a lot of shit been goin' sideways 
And my mother tried to runaway 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 soakin' wet, she only 5'2 
And forty eight hours was all before I showed up 
And brought a thousand dollars worth of drinks and got pulled up 

Damn, my reality just set in 
And even when the Phantom's leased them hoes wanna get in 
I do a lot of things hopin' I neva have to fit in 
So tryin' to keep up with my progress is like a dead end 

My girl love me but fuck it, my heart beat slow 
And right now the tour bus is lookin' like a freak show 
And life change for us every single week 
So it's good but I know this ain't the peak though 'cause I want 

I want the money, money and the cars, cars 
And the clothes, the hoes 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 

Wise words from a decent man 
Back when I was tryin' to put a ring on Alicia Hand 
This lost boy got fly without Peter Pan 
And my delivery just got me buzzin' like the pizza man 

In person I am everything and more 
I'm everywhere these other niggas never been before 
But inside I'm treadin' waters steady tryin' to swim ashore 
I'm on a shoppin' spree to get whateva is in store 

Yeah, just call me "Shop And Bag Drizzy" 
And call me "Mr. Damn", he ain't copin' that is he 
And fans of these freshman is about to get iffy 
While this youngin' that you doubtin' is about to get busy 

I'ma kill it, I promise this, I know you mad 
I've always treated my city like some shoulder pads 
To big homie use a flash if you must 
And I swear I ain't askin' for much, all I want is 

I want the money, money and the cars, cars 
And the clothes, the hoes 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 

It's like I know what I got to say 
I just don't know how to say it to you 

Pardon the swag but bitches cartate 
Long bread, I don't eat shortcake 
How come I can't miss a woman 
Like I can't miss court dates 

Cheese but she's not in this portrait 
Life's fine but I do not portray 
I'm on the other side but it is a sharp gate 
I don't want the glow, I want the glo'ray 

And I'ma fuck the world but this is just foreplay 
Tired of hearing bullshit, bring her on to cow shit 
Haven't met a smell that's stinkier than shit 
That's word to Toronto 

So high up I got birds in the condo 
Ain't that a female dog 
Ask her who I am to her and she yell, God 
Weezy baby, I go real hard, no further details, boy
