Can't Tell Me Nothing

Lyrics

La, la, la-la (yeah)
 Wait 'til I get my money right (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
 I had a dream I could buy my way to Heaven
 When I awoke, I spent that on a necklace (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
 I told God I'd be back in a second
 Man, it's so hard not to act reckless
 To whom much is given much is tested
 Get arrested, guess until he get the message (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
 I feel the pressure, under more scrutiny
 And what I do? Act more stupidly (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
 Bought more jewelry, more Louis V
 My mama couldn't get through to me (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
 The drama, people suing me
 I'm on TV talkin' like it's just you and me
 I'm just saying how I feel, man
 I ain't one of the Cosby's, I ain't go to Hell, man (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
 I guess the money should have changed him
 I guess I should have forgot where I came from
 La, la, la-la (ayy)
 Wait 'til I get my money right
 La, la, la-la (yeah)
 Then you can't tell me nothing, right?
 Excuse me? Was you saying something?
 Uh uh, you can't tell me nothing (yeah)
 (Ha ha) you can't tell me nothing (yeah, yeah, yeah)
 Uh uh, you can't tell me nothing (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
 Let up the suicide doors
 This is my life, homie, you decide yours (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
 I know that Jesus died for us
 But I couldn't tell you who decide wars
 So I parallel double park that motherfucker sideways
 Old folks talking 'bout back in my day (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
 But, homie, this is my day, class started two hours ago
 Oh, am I late? (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
 No, I already graduated
 And you can live through anything if Magic made it (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
 They say I talk with so much emphasis
 Ooh, they so sensitive
 Don't ever fix yo' lips like collagen
 And then say something where you gonna end up apologin' (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
 Let me know if it's a problem man
 A'ight man, holla then
 La, la, la-la (ayy)
 Wait 'til I get my money right
 La, la, la-la (yeah)
 Then you can't tell me nothing, right?
 Excuse me? Was you saying something?
 Uh uh, you can't tell me nothing (yeah)
 (Ha ha) you can't tell me nothing (yeah, yeah, yeah)
 Uh uh, you can't tell me nothing (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
 Let the champagne splash
 Let that man get cash
 Let that man get passed
 He 'on't even stop to get gas
 If he can move through the rumors
 He can drive off of fumes 'cause
 How he move in a room full of no's?
 How he stay faithful in a room full of hoes?
 Must be the Pharaohs, he in tune with his soul
 So when he buried in a tomb full of gold
 Treasure, what's yo' pleasure?
 Life is a, uh, dependin' how you dress her
 So if the Devil wear Prada, Adam, Eve wear nada
 I'm in between but way more fresher
 With way less effort
 'Cause when you try hard, it's when you die hard
 Y'all homies lookin' like, why God?
 When they reminisce over you, my God
 La, la, la-la (ayy)
 Wait 'til I get my money right
 La, la, la-la (yeah)
 Then you can't tell me nothing, right?
 Excuse me? Was you saying something?
 Uh uh, you can't tell me nothing (yeah)
 (Ha ha) you can't tell me nothing (yeah, yeah, yeah)
 Uh uh, you can't tell me nothing (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
 La, la, la-la (ayy)
 Wait 'til I get my money right
 La, la, la-la (yeah)
 Then you can't tell me nothing, right? (I'm serious, nigga)
 Ayy
 Yeah, ha, ha, yeah, yeah
 Nah, I'm serious nigga, I got money
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, G.O.O.D. got it made
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, G.O.O.D. got it made

 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, G.O.O.D. got it made
