I used to be ballin but now, I got no cash
And I stupidly spent everything from, my hidden stash
So now I'm flat broke and baby, all I've got is a song
About how I need a little money, to help me get along
I wanna go back to the good days, but it's a closed door
People say money can't buy happiness, but it's bough me some before
I have never seen a happy hobo, and I see them every day
But every man in a Lamborghini, has a smile on his face
So I need a little dough, I need a little cash
I need some money to bring me back
I need a little dough, I need a little cash
I need some moola to bring my smile back
Oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh
You see I wanna give away more than what I have, but I don't have a lot
Don't get me wrong I have a home and a family, but no money in the pot
I wish I could sell my stories, I'd be a millionaire
And then money would be no object, yeah I'd blow it everywhere
So if I had money right now, I'd make that hobo smile
I'd give him 20 000 dollars baby, that would last him a while
I'd buy my mom and dad each a sailboat, and a house on the beach
And everybody in my family, would get a 100 000 g's
So I need a little dough, I need a little cash
I need some money to bring me back
I need a little dough, I need a little cash
I need some moola to bring my smile back
Oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh
If you could smile through the rain, You'd make it to a brighter day
I wonder bout a brighter day, Did they mean that pay day?
Cause right now my whole city going crae crae
I'm talking mayday with no mayday, Little kid's letting AK'S spray
I'm talking bam bam with no tranzan, Got me thinking bout those handstands
Now my childhood friends gone, Got me rappin bout them in these songs
I hope I see em in the after life, But right now I need a better life
A paycheck, So I could comp a new crib, A new benz, some new clothes, and new friends
Hopefully but that smile back on my mamma's face
Move my family to a safer place, I'm talking Calabash's real estate
Million dollars, hundred acres, Passing down a better fate
Making sure that all our kids are safe
Building up a trust fund so they've got something back to give
To their kids, so they wont have to grow the way I had to grow
They won't have to see the things I've seen, I've been having vivid dreams
About the perfect ending, something out a movie scene
So I need a little dough, I need a little cash
I need some money to bring me back
I need a little dough, I need a little cash
I need some moola to bring my smile back
Oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh
