Getting It!

Im still in pursuit of this money man, cause ain't nothin changed
I want the position where i'ma be running things, no fame, I give a hell about the bling 

I'd rather get paid without all of these groupies all in my face
excuse me, boo, you all in my space

Things changed and Captain Mike ain't coming to save yall
I'm a baller, chick i play hard, to the graveyard

Im a chase this paper with no doubt i catch it
survivor, never no stoppin until my pockets pregnant

Get it all, better get on your hustle and hit it hard
22 and im living large, go get involved, and if u ain't willin to get it, better starve

i'm a get mine, i'm a get in my grind mode and grind slow
even though time show, 

i'ma try to get mine riding high til i go broke.. 
nope not me, long as it's money out on the streets
i'm a stay hungry, everday im having a feast, These people done created a beast.....

Michael, I like your use of slang as it adds to the texture of this rich verse. My favorite line is "Never no stoppin until my pocket's pregnant." It seems that's what Wall Street execs are up to today. And we all suffer the consequences. You might enjoy "Hungry and HOmeless Americans." Thanks for sharing your talent! Love, Carolyn
