I needed time to react and distract from the smile hung on his face Slid an old Cheshire cat, he was headed to your place Slung the keys, kicked back the jack Malibu breeze, sneaking out the back He smelled of green, of wet and wet dreams One foot out the door, itching, all the girls sing Ring off the night, show us a good time A boy and his toys, like go blind for a dime But this is life, you can know that money, money, nigga, there's a price But follow your lead, cause there's nowhere to go when it's hanging from trees But this is life, you can know that money, money, nigga, there's a price He says follow me, and I'll help you grow your first money tree Shatterproof millionaire, Ralph Leather creeping up the stairs Looking glass, feeling so fine Brand new hairpiece, stuck around past nine He smelled of greed, degrees and tight jeans Keep it on the low, then you'll drink for free Pull up on a chick, will you ride with me? Kids in the back, but the seats are clean The wife's downtown on a shopping spree You can bring a friend, I got room for three Business trips with company cars, racking up a tab at the hotel bar A con man with a plan, who only wants a single thing But this is life, rocking Tom Ford for the sake of telling lies Time to come clean, cause there's nowhere to go when you're down on your knees But this is life, you can know that money, money, nigga, there's a price So follow your lead, cause there's nowhere to go when it's hanging from trees But this is life, you can know that money, money, nigga, there's a price He says follow me, and I'll help you grow your first money tree I said follow me
