Lyrics: [Intro] I see the strangest things The evil that money brings I swear it’s like a disease That goes round and round and round like sirens And they wanna bury me Why? Cause I’m anti everything I swear it’s like a disease That goes round and round and round like sirens
[Hook] Money, pussy, alcohol You niggas pussy after all Money, pussy, alcohol You niggas pussy not at all Get in them drawers I had a dream I had it all I woke up and really had it all
[Verse 1] The three leading killers of you niggas Is the shit that’s most appealing to you niggas Even I fell victim to it, your pride don’t let you do it The lies will get you through it Money, pussy, alcohol, what a wonderful cocktail Fronted my first brick over oxtails and ran with it Dope is like a two-way street The addiction, both you and me, now take a seat Every car got a fleet, every broad get a jeep Every sparkle in the club that wasn’t ours, we compete Poor minds, poor decision makers No reward, then what’s the risk you taking? New bitch I been fucking might start a rap war Won’t unveil it yet, can’t tell it yet Defense wins games Bill Belichick These hoes having Google numbers, niggas better check Yuugh
[Hook] Money, pussy, alcohol You niggas pussy after all Money, pussy, alcohol You niggas pussy not at all Get in them drawers I had a dream I had it all I woke up and really had it all
[Verse 2] Shout out my bitches fucking baseball niggas That dress like Bamas with guaranteed contracts Yeah, I see your vision, sick of prison visits Now the Major League’s where you're fishing You young and hot, so why not? The dealers is washed, the money is dry, so take your best shot We can’t judge you ‘cause we ain’t hug you We sent you off to other hoods and let them niggas fuck you For real, we made you watch from afar Even talked down on you, tryna dim your star Until we seen them foreign cars pull up And watch them pick you up And then we realized we missed a diamond in the rough So, make us proud, make it count Until you learn to love ‘em, make ‘em spare no amount Make ‘em dig deeper to keep ya, knowing you deserve it Take advantage of it when you’re worth it Real bitches worth it
[Hook] Money, pussy, alcohol You niggas pussy after all Money, pussy, alcohol You niggas pussy not at all Get in them drawers I had a dream I had it all I woke up and really had it all
[Verse 3] I’ve been watching all you real niggas I done see more won't than you will niggas Take a swing, snatch a chain Lose your mind, go insane I’m in the club, you in the club too I got money, you got money too You think it’s honey dew Whispering in my ear like a hunny do Eyeballing every bottle that we running through Trying to stand near, nigga damn near Pushing bitches out the way to Instagram here It’s no pictures, now you in your feelings I’m a real dope boy, no stranger dealings Bruised ego, Henny-induced Debos Nickel bag niggas, all of a sudden Ninos I cancel all of you G-Moneys for G money I get it done for quarter ki money, for real
[Hook] Money, pussy, alcohol You niggas pussy after all Money, pussy, alcohol You niggas pussy not at all Get in them drawers I had a dream I had it all I woke up and really had it all
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Natalie Cole, the Grammy-winning daughter of Nat "King" Cole" who carried on her late father's musical legacy and, through technology, shared a duet with him on "Unforgettable," has died. She was 65.
Natalie died Thursday evening at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles due to compilations from ongoing health issues, her family said in a statement.
"Natalie fought a fierce, courageous battle, dying how she lived ... with dignity, strength and honor. Our beloved Mother and sister will be greatly missed and remain UNFORGETTABLE in our hearts forever," read the statement from her son Robert Yancy and sisters Timolin and Casey Cole.
Cole had battled drug problems and hepatitis that forced her to undergo a kidney transplant in May 2009. Cole's older sister, Carol "Cookie" Cole, died the day she received the transplant. Their brother, Nat Kelly Cole, died in 1995.
Natalie Cole was inspired by her dad at an early age and auditioned to sing with him when she was just 11 years old. She was 15 when he died of lung cancer, in 1965.
She began as an R&B singer but later gravitated toward the smooth pop and jazz standards that her father loved.
Cole's greatest success came with her 1991 album, "Unforgettable ... With Love," which paid tribute to her father with reworked versions of some of his best-known songs, including "That Sunday That Summer," ''Too Young" and "Mona Lisa."
Her voice was spliced with her dad's in the title cut, offering a delicate duet a quarter-century after his death.
The album sold some 14 million copies and won six Grammys, including album of the year as well record and song of the year for the title track duet.
While making the album, Cole told The Associated Press in 1991, she had to "throw out every R&B lick that I had ever learned and every pop trick I had ever learned. With him, the music was in the background and the voice was in the front."
"I didn't shed really any real tears until the album was over," Cole said. "Then I cried a whole lot. When we started the project it was a way of reconnecting with my dad. Then when we did the last song, I had to say goodbye again."
She was also nominated for an Emmy award in 1992 for a televised performance of her father's songs.
"That was really my thank you," she told People magazine in 2006. "I owed that to him."
Another father-daughter duet, "When I Fall in Love," won a 1996 Grammy for best pop collaboration with vocals, and a follow-up album, "Still Unforgettable," won for best traditional pop vocal album of 2008.
Cole made her recording debut in 1975 with "Inseparable." The music industry welcomed her with two Grammy awards — one for best new artist and one for best female R&B vocal performance for her buoyant hit "This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)."
She also worked as an actress, with appearances on TV's "Touched by an Angel" and "Grey's Anatomy."
But she was happiest touring and performing live.
"I still love recording and still love the stage," she said on her website in 2008, "but like my dad, I have the most fun when I am in front of that glorious orchestra or that kick-butt big band."
Cole was born in 1950 to Nat "King" Cole and his wife, Maria Ellington Cole, a onetime vocalist with Duke Ellington who was no relation to the great bandleader.
Her father was already a recording star, and he rose to greater heights in the 1950s and early '60s. He toured worldwide, and in 1956 he became the first black entertainer to host a national TV variety show, though poor ratings and lack of sponsors killed it off the following year. He also appeared in a few movies and spoke out in favor of civil rights.
Natalie Cole grew up in Los Angeles' posh Hancock Park neighborhood, where her parents had settled in 1948 despite animosity from some white residents about having the black singer as a neighbor. When told by residents didn't want "undesirable people" in the area, the singer said, "Neither do I, and if I see (any), I'll be the first to complain."
The family eventually included five children.
Natalie Cole started singing seriously in college, performing in small clubs.
But in her 2000 autobiography, "Angel on My Shoulder," Cole discussed how she had battled heroin, crack cocaine and alcohol addiction for many years. She spent six months in rehab in 1983.
When she announced in 2008 that she had been diagnosed with hepatitis C, a liver disease spread through contact with infected blood, she blamed her past intravenous drug use.
She criticized the Recording Academy for giving five Grammys to drug user Amy Winehouse in 2008.
"I'm an ex-drug addict and I don't take that kind of stuff lightly," Cole explained at the 2009 Grammy Awards. Hepatitis C "stayed in my body for 25 years and it could still happen to this young woman or other addicts who are fooling around with drugs, especially needles."
Cole received chemotherapy to treat the hepatitis and "within four months, I had kidney failure," she told CNN's Larry King in 2009. She needed dialysis three times a week until she received a donor kidney on May 18, 2009. The organ procurement agency One Legacy facilitated the donation from a family that had requested that their donor's organ go to Cole if it was a match.
Cole toured through much of her illness, often receiving dialysis at hospitals around the globe.
"I think that I am a walking testimony to you can have scars," she told People magazine. "You can go through turbulent times and still have victory in your life."

The rift between Lil Wayne and and his record label looks like it might finally be over.
Cash Money Records co-owner, Bryan "Baby" Williams, posted an Instagram photo Friday morning, January 1, that shows him ringing in the new year with Weezy, Young Money Records President, Mack Maine, Drake and 2 Chainz.
The caption on the photo, which has now been changed, hinted at the long awaited release of Wayne's album, "Tha Carter V."
"C5 poppin," Baby wrote, before changing the caption to "2016 #makemusic #lifestyle #YMCMB4Ife."
Mack Maine posted the same photo on his IG page and sent out several tweets indicating things were being worked out.
Wayne and Birdman had been at odds for a year. The rapper filed a breach of contract lawsuit against Baby and Cash Money Records for $51 million in January 2015.
The suit claimed that Cash Money violated the deal in three ways.
1. Not paying Wayne an $8 million advance when he began recording Tha Carter V in December 2013.
2. Failing to pay Wayne an additional $2 million upon completion of the album a year later.
Kanye West drops some heavy heat to kick 2016 off on the right note. Check out his new song titled "Facts." The track was produced by Metro Boomin and Southside.
It's the drive and determination Kalyko bring to the table that makes him different than any other. Kaly has been grinding for years now and it's finally his turn to show the world that Hard Werk DOES PAY OFF!!
Kalyko was born Kory Wilson on March 5, in England on a military base. At the age of 3 he moved to Cincinnati, Ohio where his family originated. Kalyko started rapping during elementary school, where he was always in trouble for banging on the table and rapping. At the age of 12 he started recording in his own bathroom. Meeting with producer Sparkz at age 13, is what really topped everything off and the movement began. During his high school years where he attended SHRODER PAIDEIA ACADEMY is where his buzz started to spread throughout Cincinnati.
In 2004, Kalyko and producer/friend Sparkz Tha Trakman formed the group Clapp Squad which they dropped the albums "Hood Life" & "Take 2"on Reddmouth Entertainment and also selling numerous copies throughout the city. "We used to catch the bus to malls and schools just to promote getting kicked out plenty of times". They now go by HARD WERK and consists of Kalyko, Sparkz, and Holliwood Vino. In 2006, they dropped the self titled mixtape Hard Werk hosted by DJ Dimepiece of Core Dj's and 101.1 the WIZF (now radio personality in chicago, ill).
Kaly started to really perform and make appearances on a daily basis in 2008, where he would do a lot of opening acts and some features. And he really made a name for himself with his single "Get It" which is on several radio stations, satellite radio, mixtapes around the country and Music Choice channels. "GET IT" peeked #5 on the Billboard Charts and since he has never looked back. He started a record label in 2011 called "HARD WERK ENTERTAINMENT" and released his new club banging singles "AMBER ROSE" & "WALK TO ME". Kalyko brings a new sound that no one can resist.

The Shy Glizzy chain snatching saga appears to have come to a peaceful ending. Rapper Blac Youngsta of Yo Gotti's Collective Music Group bought the jewelry back from Memphis collective, Cartel Business, for $10,000.
Black Youngsta (right) prepares to buy back Shy Glizzy's chain from Cartel Business
"We asked for $50K, but we let Youngsta bring us $10K, but you can still come get it nigga. It is what it is," YRNCasino says in video footage of the exchange.
This was all made possible because of Blac Youngsta's relationship with Glizzy.
"Youngsta say he fuck with dude. He say he fuck with him tough. That's the only reason [this happened]. Ain't no nice shit going on," said another Cartel Business member.
Glizzy also released a video showing that he was in possession of the chain. Don't expect to see him wearing it again though. In his latest song, "Cut It," the Washington, D.C. rapper said he's bought a better one that he dares anyone to touch.
Sometimes it's best to ignore a negative person on Instagram, instead of giving them a platform to clap at you.
Rick Ross found that out the hard way when he responded to an Instagram user who dissed him in the comment section of a photo he posted of himself and Diddy.
"You can have millions of dollars and you still not gonna look good in the club with shades on," HollyHeat2U wrote.
The comment caught Ross' attention. He responded by trying to clown Holly's looks.
"Your nose bit long. nah nah lol," he replied.
Holly, a self-professed "proud Drake fan," provided the final lethal blow when she wrote, "true but at least I'm not fat AF. Where's Drake when I need him to kill the rest of y'all careers???"

Ronda Rousey had vowed to beat all of her opponents and retire undefeated. Those plans were derailed when she was brutally knocked out by Holly Holm while defending her Bantamweight Championship belt at UFC 193 in Australia on November 15, 2015.
The loss forced the 28-year old Judoka to reassess her future as a mixed martial arts competitor. A rematch with Holm is being planned by the UFC, but there's already talk that if the "Rowdy" one loses she will retire from fighting.
An emotional Holly Holm reacts to her win against Ronda Rousey
Rousey's sister, Maria Burns Ortiz, recently talked with Vice Sports to talk about the fight and the affect it had on her sibling.
"We expected Ronda to win. Just like we always do. Just like we always will. But she didn't. I haven't rewatched it. I haven't read about it. I won't," Ortiz said. "I don't see a point in reliving the moment when a part of my loved one died, when I saw someone I cared about have her soul crushed. I saw how horrible people can be to someone they don't even know, which made me even more appreciative when I saw how wonderfully Ronda's friends and family treated her. Those are the people that matter."
Most of the all-time greats in both mixed martial arts and boxing have lost bouts. There's no shame in that. Just about every one of them rebounded and continued their careers.
If Rousey checks out of the game following a second loss to Holm, I don't see any way she should be ranked among the best in her sport.
Original Block Hustlaz (O.B.H.) shot caller, Ar-Ab, sits down with Mikey T The Movie Star and Report Card Radio to speak on being mentioned in Drake's song "Back to Back," being surprised the Meek Mill diss track was nominated for a Grammy, squashing his beef with Meek and explains why he won't ever record another diss record.
"I'll never make another one," Ab said. "I don't like diss tracks, because then you can't really hurt nobody."
