Throw it, throw it up
Watch it all fall out
Pour it up, pour it up
That's how we ball out
Throw it, throw it up
Watch it all fall out
Pour it up, pour it up
That's how we ball out

Strip club and dollar bills
I still got my money
Patron shots can I get a refill
I still got my money
Strippers goin' up and down that pole
And I still got my money
Four o'clock and we ain't going home
'Cause I still got my money
Money make the world go around
I still got my money
Bands make your girl go down
And I still got my money
Lot mo' where dat came from
I still got my money
The look in your eyes, I know you want some
I still got my money

Ohh
All I see is signs
All I see is dollar signs
Ohh

Money on my mind
Money, money on my mind
Throw it, throw it up
Watch it fall off from the sky

Throw it up, throw it up
Watch it all fall out
Pour it up, pour it up
That's how we ball out
Throw it up, throw it up
Watch it all fall out
Pour it up, pour it up
That's how we ball out
That's how we ball out
That's how we ball out
That's how we ball out

Valet cost a hundred bills
I still got my money
Gold all up in my grill
I still got my money
Who cares how you haters feel
And I still got my money
Call Jay up and close the deal
'Cause I still got my money
My fragrance on and they love my smell
I still got my money
So who cares about what I spend
I still got my money
My pocket's deep, and they never end
I still got my money
I'm going dumb with all my friends
I still got my money

Ohh
All I see is signs
All I see is dollar signs
Ohh

Money on my mind
Money, money on my mind
Throw it, throw it up
Watch it fall off from the sky

Throw it up, throw it up
Watch it all fall out
Pour it up, pour it up
That's how we ball out
Throw it up, throw it up
Watch it all fall out
Pour it up, pour it up
That's how we ball out
That's how we ball out
That's how we ball out
That's how we ball out
