  • Verse 1:
    Im gonna give you one minute cuz, you trippin'
    Too much time in your hand, you slippin'
    Why you focused on all of this dealin'
    them ni***s coming in thru the back door, stealin'
    Crib on the hill, now that's good livin'
    Harder to reach when you make your first mil in
    So much money, gotta stack to the ceiling
    And I'm gonna keep doing this forever, god willing
    Real ni***s like me don't catch feelings
    Only broke niggas be out there grinin'
    Say you gettin money but you ain't even tippin'
    The big booty girl in front of you, dippin'
    Fronting like you really doing all that shippin'
    Man you gotta be, gotta be kiddin'
    Don't even try cuz my weapon is hidden'
    My ni**a Dru ready to do some killin'

    I'ma tell you just one time
    Give me what's mine
    Cu z I don't have time to waste
    Out here on my grind
    Money on my mind
    And I won't stop gettin paid
    Living this life of mine
    I don't really know
    If it really got what it takes
    Hustling' is in my blood
    It just won't go away

    Chorus:
    Time, money (8X)
    Ni**a with money
    Don't have no time
    Ni**a with time
    Don't have no money

    Verse 2:
    Ken Live in one year made millions
    Everybody got money
    Ni**a we chilling'
    But ain't go no time
    It's a bad feeling'
    Especially when you want a Lil sexual healing'
    A girlfriend's pulling'
    A family's pulling'
    In every direction everybody need money
    My lifestyle redefine how they all livin'
    If I keep it up, I'll be broke in a minute
    My kin folks in the block
    And they dealing'
    All my goons still off they killing'
    Man I be running' got no time to be skipping' Writer/s: ALEXIS WHITE, ALIAUNE THIAM, DEMETRIUS FLENORY
