PUBLISHED:  Jul 22, 2011
DESCRIPTION:
A Classic! Far East Movement in 2006.

you wanna get that dough and get that cash
you wanna make that money today
you gotta get that ___
eat that food , you gotta do what you do to get paid

(Chorus)
If you broke clap your hands
you got less than a dub? clap your hands
If you can jiggle your change, clap your hands , clap your hands
cmon clap your hands

Everything gonna be alright.
man gas prices making me work over time
everythings gonna be OK
sleeping on the floor is better for your back anyway
everythings guna be just fine
who needs electricity when you got the streetlights?
the next day the sun will still shine
even if you aint pay your rent on time


alarm ring so i spring out of bed
must have slept wrong theres a kink on my neck
stress of daily living thinking damn will i make it in this cold hearted world being broke it forsaken
in our society moneys vital like arteries
aint no comedy when you broke and have a family
its the poverty that makes it hard to live honestly
my hands gettin dirty nobody respects modesty
the dollar bill is the blame for mans ill
the dollar bill breeds every inch of mans kill
i know how it feels to be laid on them dubs
make the minimum payments on them interest bills
empty out my pockets grab a fistful of lint
thinking of a hustle cuz i gots to pay rent
through my paper and pen i pour my heart and my soul
change the situation quick cuz im sick of being broke.

(chorus)

yo i met this fly honey
shorty was fine
ask her for the time she was a quarter to dimes
looked her in the eye got caught up in the whirlwind
started with a look and all a sudden she my girlfriend
i started taking her out...
but telling me about her town was all that she could talk about.
days turned to weeks and i started to believe her.
roads that were paved with gold. so we moved east.
but the moment that we got up off the airplane.
she look away from me and said that everythings changed.
i held her close and told her baby itll be ok
then i felt her right hand push me away.
leaving me alone. i left a good thing at home
family and friends and a college education
lady liberty done had me confused
so i work whistling the blue collar blues

(chorus)

what ive been through aint nothing new under the sun
just letting you know, that its a new day
still struggle the same, the trouble the same
ima save every dollar til i make a change
you know i dig through the ashtray to make that change
i give a bum a dollar hope to make a change
sweat on my blue collar never see a change
i pay more but my W2 still the same
politicians go past til the well runs dry
_______ death in the east paid by
hard working tax paying non voten unspoken
every day damn people the government cant notice
you focus on the fact that i cant do the math
then you call us into class cuz we dont finish class
but we wont finish last ___ begging for cash
when i make more than you, you can kiss my ass

(chorus)

to the mom with 2 jobs cuz daddys away ( DO YOUR THANG)
to the bum on the freeway begging for change (DO YOUR THANG)
to the student working hard to pay they own way (DO YOUR THANG)
and if you aint there yet but you wanna get paid (MAKE THAT CHANGE)

(Chorus)


you wanna get that dough and get that cash
you wanna make that money today
you gotta get that ___
eat that food , you gotta do what you do to get paid
