96,000

With 96 G's

I'd start my life with a brand new lease

Atlantic City with a Malibu breeze

And a brand new weave

(Or maybe just bleach)

(Y'all are freaks)

Yo, I'm just sayin'

It's silly when we get into

These crazy hypotheticals

You really want some bread?

Then go ahead, create a set of goals

And cross them off the list as you pursue them

And with those 96, I know precisely what I'm doin'

Whatchu doin'?

What am I doin'? What am I doin'?

It takes half of that cash just to save my ass from financial ruin

Sonny can keep the coffee brewin'

I'll spend a few on you

Cause the only room with a view's a room with you in it

And I could give Abuela Claudia the rest of it

Just fly me down to Puerto Plata, I'll make the best of it

You really love this business?

(No!)

Tough, Merry Christmas!

You now the youngest tycoon in Washington Hiznits

Yo, with 96,000, I'd finally fix housin'

Give the barrio computers and wireless web browsin'

Your kids are living without a good edu-ma-cation, change the station

Teach them about gentrification, the rent is escalatin' (what?)

The rich are penetratin' (what?)

We pay our corporations

When we should be demonstratin' (what?)

What about immigration? (what?)

Politicians be hatin' (what?)

Racism in this nation's gone

From latent to blatant!

I'll cash my ticket and picket

Invest in protest

Never lose my focus 'til the

City takes notice

And you know this, man!

I'll never sleep

Because the ghetto has a million promises for me to keep!

(You are so cute!)

(I was just thinking off the top of my head)

96K, go!

If I win the lottery

You'll never see me again

(Damn, we only jokin'

Stay broke, then!)

I'll be downtown

Get a nice studio

Get out of the barrio

For real, though (if I win the lottery)

Imagine how it would feel

Goin' real slow

Down the highway of life (you'll wonder where I've been)

With no regrets

And no breakin' your neck for respect

Or a paycheck

It's silly when we get into these crazy hypotheticals, (I'll be downtown)

You really want some bread? Then go ahead

Create a set of goals and cross them off the list as you pursue em' (see you around)

And with those 96, I know precisely what I'm doin'!

Check, one two three (if I win the lottery)

And with the dolla', dolla'

With 96 G's

We get to holla', holla'

Between you and me (you won't see a lot of me!)

We rock the hot impala

Why-hoo!

With 96 G's (I'll be downtown)

We movin' on tomorrow

A brand new lease

We rock beyond manana

A Malibu breeze (see you around)

We drop the mama drama

We stop at the Bahamas

Woah, woah, woah

(I'll be downtown!)

We could pay off the debts we owe!

We could tell everyone we know!

I could get on a plane and go

We'd be swimmin' in dough, yo

No tip-toin'

We'll get the dough 'n'

Once we get goin'

We never gonna

No tip-toin'

We'll get the dough 'n'

Once we get goin'

We're never gonna–

Ninety-six thousand

No tip-toin'

Ninety-six thousand

We'll get the dough 'n'

Ninety-six thousand

Once we get goin'

Ninety-six thousand

Make the world know 'em

Ninety-six thousand

Ninety-six thousand

Ninety-six thousand

Ninety-six thousand

Ninety-six thousand

We'll get the dough 'n'

Once we get the goin'

We're never gonna stop
