  • I get 'em up (I'm on one)
    I get 'em up (fuck it, I'm on one)
    I get 'em up (I said, "I'm on one")
    DJ Khaled

    Uh, I'm getting so throwed
    I ain't went this hard since I was eighteen
    Apologize if I say anything I don't mean
    Like, "What's up with your best friend?
    We could all have some fun, believe me"
    And, "What's up with these new niggas?"
    And why they think it all comes so easy?
    But get it while you here, boy
    'Cause all that hype don't feel the same next year, boy
    Yeah, and I'll be right here in my spot
    With a little more cash than I already got
    Trippin' off you 'cause you had your shot
    With my skin tanned and my hair long and my fans who been so patient
    Me and 40 back to work, but we still smell like a vacation
    Hate the rumors, hate the bullshit, hate these fucking allegations
    I'm just feeling like the throne is for the taking, watch me take it

    All I care about is money and the city that I'm from
    I'ma sip until I feel it, I'ma smoke it 'til it's done
    And I don't really give a fuck and my excuse is that I'm young
    And I'm only getting older, somebody should've told you

    I'm on one, yeah
    Fuck it, I'm on one, yeah
    I said, "I'm on one"
    Fuck it, I'm on one
    Two white cups and I got that drink
    Could be purple or could be pink
    'Pending on how you mix that shit
    Money to be got and I'ma get that shit
    'Cause I'm on one
    I said, "Fuck it, I'm on one"

    Huh, I'm burning purple flowers, it's burning my chest (huh)
    I bury the most cash and burning the rest (stuntin')
    Walking on the clouds, suspended in thin air (yeah)
    The ones beneath me recognize the red bottoms I wear (check it)
    Burner in the belt, move the kids to the hills (boss)
    Bend shawty on the sink, do it for the thrill (woo)
    Kiss you on your neck and tell you, "Everything is great" (right)
    Even though I'm out on bond and might be facing eight
    Still runnin' with the same niggas 'til the death of me
    Ever seen a million cash? Gotta count it carefully (haha)
    Ever made love to the woman of your dreams
    In a room full of money out in London as she screams? (Woo)
    Huh, baby, I could take it there
    Call Marc Jacobs personally to make a pair
    So, yeah, we on one, the feeling ain't fair (Khaled)
    And it's double MG until I get the chair, chyeah

    All I care about is money and the city that I'm from (huh)
    I'ma sip until I feel it, I'ma smoke it 'til it's done
    And I don't really give a fuck and my excuse is that I'm young
    And I'm only getting older, somebody should've told you

    I'm on one, yeah
    Fuck it, I'm on one, yeah
    I said, "I'm on one"
    Fuck it, I'm on one
    Two white cups and I got that drink
    Could be purple or could be pink
    'Pending on how you mix that shit
    Money to be got and I'ma get that shit
    'Cause I'm on one
    I said, "Fuck it, I'm on one"

    I walk around the club, fuck everybody
    And all my niggas got that heat, I feel like Pat Riley
    Yeah, too much money, ain't enough money
    You know the feds listenin', nigga, what money?
    I'm a made nigga, I should dust something
    You niggas on the bench, like the bus comin'
    Huh, ain't nothin' sweet but the Swishers
    I'm focused might as well say cheese for the pictures
    Oh, I'm about to go Andre the Giant
    You a sellout, but I ain't buying
    Chopper dissect a nigga like science
    Put an end to the world like the Mayans
    It's a celebration, bitches, Mazel Tov
    It's a slim chance I fall, Olive Oyl
    Tunechi be the name, don't ask me how I got it
    I'm killin' these hoes, I swear I'm tryna stop the violence

    All I care about is money and the city that I'm from (yeah)
    I'ma sip until I feel it, I'ma smoke it 'til it's done
    And I don't really give a fuck and my excuse is that I'm young
    And I'm only getting older, somebody should've told you

    I'm on one, yeah (Young Mula, baby)
    Fuck it, I'm on one, yeah (YMCB)
    Yeah, I said, "I'm on one" (uh-huh)
    Fuck it, I'm on one
    Two white cups and I got that drink
    Could be purple or could be pink
    'Pending on how you mix that shit
    Money to be got and I'ma get that shit
    'Cause I'm on one (haha)
    I said, "Fuck it, I'm on one"

    I get 'em up
    I get 'em up
    I get 'em up
