[Intro 1]
La, la, la-la (yeah)

[Verse 1]
Wait 'til I get my money right
[Am](Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I had a [C]dream I could buy my way to [Dm]Heaven
When I awoke, I spent that on a [C]necklace
[Am](Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I told [C]God I'd be back in a [Dm]second
Man, it's so hard not to [C]act reckless
[F]To whom muc[Em]h is given
much is tes[Dm]ted
Get arrested, guess until he get the [C]message
[Am](Oh, oh, oh...)
I feel the pressure, [C]under more scrutiny
[Dm]And what I do? Act more stup[C]idly
[Am](Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
[C]Bought more jewelry, [Dm]more Louis V
My mama couldn't get [C]through to me
[Am](Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
The [C]drama, people suing me
[Dm]I'm on TV talkin' like it's just you a[C]nd me
[F]I'm just say[Em]ing how I feel, man
[Dm]I ain't one of the Cosby's,
I ain't go to [C]Hell, man
[Am](Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I guess the [C]money
should have changed him
[Dm]I guess I should have forget
where I [C]came from

[Chorus 1]
[Am]La, [C]la, la-la
[Dm]Wait 'til I get my money [C]right
[Am]La, [C]la, la-la
[Dm]Then you can't tell me nothing, [C]right
[F]Excuse me? Was you[Em] saying
[Dm]Uh uh, you can't tell me no th[C]ing
[Am](Ha ha) you can't tell[C] me nothing
[Dm]Uh uh, you can't tell me no th[C]ing

[Verse 2]
[Am](Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Let up the [C]suicide doors
[Dm]This is my life, homie, you decide [C]yours
[Am](Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I know that [C]Jesus died for us
[Dm]But I couldn't tell you who decide wars[C]
So I [F]parallel double park
that [Em]motherfucker sideways
[Dm]Old folks talking 'bout back in my d[C]ay
[Am](Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
But, [C]homie, this is my day,
[Dm]class started two hours ago
Oh, am [C]I late
[Am](Oh, oh...) no, I already [C]graduated
And you can [Dm]live through anything
if Magic [C]made it
[Am](Oh, oh, oh...)
They say I talk with [C]so much emphasis
[Dm]Ooh, they so sensi[C]tive
[F]Don't ever fix yo' lip[Em]s like collagen
And then [Dm]say something
where you gonna end up a[C]pologin'
[Am](Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Let me [C]know if it's a problem man
[Dm]A'ight man, holl[C]a then

[Chorus 2]
[Am]La, [C]la, la-la
[Dm]Wait 'til I get my money [C]right

[Verse 3]
[Am](Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Let the [C]champagne splash
Let that [Dm]man get cash
Let that man get [C]passed
[Am](Oh, oh, oh, oh...)
He 'on't even [C]stop to get gas
If he can [Dm]move through the rumors
He can drive off of [C]fumes 'cause
[F]How he move in a roo[Em]m full of no's
[Dm]How he stay faithful
in a room full of [C]hoes
[Am]Must be the Pharaohs,
he in [C]tune with his soul
[Dm]So when he buried in a tomb
full of [C]gold
[Am](Oh, oh, oh, oh...)
[C]Treasure, what's yo' pleasure?
[Dm]Life is a, uh, dependin' how you dress[C] her
[Am]So if the Devil wear Prada[C],
Adam, Eve wear [Dm]nada
I'm in between but way more [C]fresher
[F]With way[Em] less effort
[Dm]'Cause when you try hard,
it's when you [C]die hard
[Am](Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Y'all homies [C]lookin' like, why God?
[Dm]When they reminisce over you, my [C]God
