Na, na, nye Ooh, na, na, ooh, na, na Yeah, yeah, yeah N-Dubz, N-Dubz, N-Dubz It's like first things first You'd probably think I'm a chap with good manners Well, you're wrong I'm the scum of the earth I'm the worst of the worst an' I ain't boastin' 'bout my verses I'm speaking' 'bout the way I run around snatching purses For every meaning there's a purpose Just because I never went to school it don't mean that I can't be perfect For screaming' out loud we's addicted to money like two fingers tapping On wherever there's a vein And believe me, yeah we proud 'cause life is getting sicker by the day And therefore we'll always stick around Tonight you see the size of me, you wouldn't think I'm any harm in it? Think again, I'll take your *** nicely Chat up your wife to be, middle class, daddy's girl I think I need to get me one and your one looks just right for me Isn't it funny, how money can make a lot of people change? Freakin', my friend, but I telling you, you wait You better not waste my time I got better things on my mind I need to leave jerks like you behind 'Cause all they ever do is just bring me down So would you let me be or I'll make you disappear When you hear the word money that's the only time you ever interfere I thought that you was there, no, no But I guess I'm wrong, why would you care? I remember once upon a time when I was just thirteen So innocent and giving, everyone would act like they love me Then all the *** and rumors began, seemed like I didn't have any friends So much hate, lies and deceit caused by all that jealousy Now do you *** really think that I'm the same girl I used to be? Do you really think I will back down from you *** If you try to bring it to me? I know you're hating 'cause your man keeps watching But I don't even want him, so tell him stop clocking The more you hate I get closer to my goal You'll wake up as nothing at twenty years old You better not waste my time I got better things on my mind I need to leave jerks like you behind 'Cause all they ever do is just bring me down So would you let me be or I'll make you disappear When you hear the word money that's the only time you ever interfere I thought that you was there, no, no But I guess I'm wrong, why would you care? Yeah, I remember them days when I didn't have no rhymes Practicing my verse in the class 'til it was home time I never used to pay attention in school Was playing penny up the wall or in detention with fools That's why most the teachers used to doubt me They used to say I wouldn't make in my music just to see me get rowdy So I could switch in the classroom for an excuse to kick me out I wonder why I'm bunking all my lessons in the bathroom Now I'm starving hungry, working hard for this super stardom life Been kinda hard for me to try and make it right And it's hard to decide, whether I should leave behind All my peeps in this life, to move forward and seek what I find This life is lethal like a *** baby being born addicted to the *** So much evil in people, Dappy said it first So I guess that I'm the sequel So just because I'm black it don't mean that I can't be equal You better not waste my time I got better things on my mind I need to leave jerks like you behind 'Cause all they ever do is just bring me down So would you let me be or I'll make you disappear When you hear the word money that's the only time you ever interfere I thought that you was there, no, no But I guess I'm wrong, why would you care? You better not waste my time I got better things on my mind I need to leave jerks like you behind 'Cause all they ever do is just bring me down So would you let me be or I'll make you disappear When you hear the word money that's the only time you ever interfere I thought that you was there, no, no But I guess I'm wrong, why would you care?
