Don't Do Me Like That Lyrics

I was talking with a friend of mine
Said a woman had hurt his pride
Told him that she loved him so
And turned around and let him go
Then he said, you better watch your step
Or your gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size

Don't Do Me Like That
Don't do me like that
What if I love you baby?
Don't do me like that

Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Someday I might need you baby
Don't do me like that

Listen honey, can you see?
Baby, you would bury me
If you were in the public eye
Givin' someone else a try
And you know you better watch your step
Or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size

Don 't do me like that
Don't do me like that
What if I love you baby?
Don't, don't, don't, don't

Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
What if I need you baby?
Don't do me like that

'Cause somewhere deep down inside
Someone is saying, Love doesn't last that long
I got this feelin' inside night and day
And now I can't take it no more

Listen honey, can you see?
Baby, you would bury me
If you were in the public eye
Givin' someone else a try
And you know you better watch your step
Or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size

Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
What if I love you baby?
Don't, don't, don't, don't

Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
I just might need you honey
Don't do me like that

Wait
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Baby, baby, baby
Don't, don't, don't

No
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Baby, baby, baby

Oh, oh, oh

Homegrown Honey Lyrics

Sitting at a bar in New York City
Everybody here looking New York pretty
But you’re the kinda girl that’s got that something
Dancing to the groove like it just ain’t nothing
They ain’t never seen nothing quite like you
Long stem legs in your cowboy boots
Throwing back whiskey straight, no water
Girl there ain’t nothing hotter

Ooh, I dig the way that you move
You shake it down to your roots
I did your momma teach you how to do that thing you do
Yeah, nothing sweeter than wild
I’ll take a sip of that smile
I’ll bet the boys at home can’t leave you alone
You little Homegrown Honey, honey, honey
You’re so money, money, money
You got a country road Carolina soul
Baby you’re just so homegrown

Trying to think of something cool to say
Turned around and saw you walking my way
Pulled me on the floor saying "Son it’s on"
And we were dancing all night long
To a sweet old Alabama song

Ooh, I dig the way that you move
You shake it down to your roots
I did your momma teach you how to do that thing you do
Yeah, nothing sweeter than wild
I’ll take a sip of that smile
I’ll bet the boys at home can’t leave you alone
You little homegrown honey, honey, honey
You’re so money, money, money
You got a country road Carolina soul
Baby you’re just so homegrown

Baby, baby, baby
You’re driving me crazy, crazy, crazy
I’m a long way away from where I’m from
But baby you feel like home

Ooh, I dig the way that you move
You shake it down to your roots
I did your momma teach you how to do that thing you do
Yeah, nothing sweeter than wild
I’ll take a sip of that smile
I’ll bet the boys at home can’t leave you alone
You little homegrown honey, honey, honey
You’re so money, money, money
You got a country road Carolina soul
Baby you’re just so homegrown

Honey, honey, honey
You’re so money, money, money
You got a country road Carolina soul
Baby you’re just so homegrown

Homegrown Honey Song Chart

Darius Rucker sings here about a Carolina girl turning heads in the Big Apple.

Ooh, I dig the way that you move
You shake it down to your roots
Did your mama teach you how to do that thing you do
Yeah, nothing sweeter than wild
I'll take a sip of that smile

Rucker wrote the song with Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum and Taylor Swift's producer, Nathan Chapman. "It's a little different for me. It's not one of those family songs - it's really a country party song," he told Rolling Stone. "It's talking about some country girl who lives in New York City. It's got hooks galore."

Rucker told the story of the song to Radio.com : "I was playing golf with Charles Kelley one day," he said. "Charles is probably my best friend in the business, we get along really well. He said, 'Man, we've been in Nashville seven years and have never written a song.' I hadn't really thought about it, but he was right. We had never written a song together."

"When I got to the session," he continued, "he had this great idea he had started with the opening line, 'Sitting in a bar in New York City everyone here looking New York pretty.'"

"[When] we finished it, we were sitting around," Rucker concluded, " and I said, 'This is my single.'"

Nathan Chapman whom Rucker credits as "a genius with melodies," also had a hand in writing the song.

The mainly performance video was filmed in Rucker's home state of South Carolina. The clip uses footage from a performance at HTC Center on August 23, 2014 as well as Coastal Carolina University and the Rivertown Bistro in the South Carolina town of Conway.

Charles Kelley recalled how he pushed for a writing session with Darius Rucker during a round of their favorite sport. "We were out playing golf, like we always do when he's in town, and I was gettin' on to him that we've never written before, and he said he was writing for a new record," the Lady Antebellum member recalled. "Literally, I didn't give him an out. He was having a busy day actually the next day singing vocals, and he was done until like 8 that night. I'm sure he was tuckered out. I said, 'We have to make this a priority and write,' and sure enough, came up with what I think is a great song."

Midnight Train To Georgia Lyrics

L.A. Proved too much for the man
Too much for the man, he couldn't make it
So he's leavin' the life he's come to know uhoo
He said he's goin'
He said he's goin' back to find
Goin' back to find
Ooh, what's left of his world
The world he left behind
Not so long ago

He's leavin' (leavin')
On that Midnight Train To Georgia
Leavin' on the midnight train
Said he's goin' back
Goin' back to find
To a simpler place in time
Oh yes he is

And I'll be with him (I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia (leavin' on the midnight train to Georgia)
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine
That world is his, his and 'ers alone

He kept dreamin' (dreamin')
That someday he'd be a star
A super star, but he didn't get far
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true
So he pawned all his hopes
And he even sold his old car
Bought a one way ticket back
To the life he once knew
Oh yes he did
He said he would

Oh oh he's leavin'
On that midnight train to Georgia (leavin' on the midnight train)
Said he's goin' back to find
Oh a simpler place in time

And I'm gonna be with him (I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world
Than be without him in mine

The world is his, his and 'ers alone
Oh he's leavin'
On that midnight train to Georgia (leavin' on the midnight train)
Said he's goin' back to find (goin' back to find)
Oh a simpler place in time

And I've gotta be with him (I know you will)
On the midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world
Than be without him in mine

The world is his, his and 'ers alone
For love gonna board
The midnight train to Georgia
For love gonna board
The midnight train to Georgia

For love gonna board
The midnight train to Georgia
For love gonna board
The midnight train to Georgia
For love gonna board
The midnight train to Georgia

For love gonna board
The midnight train to Georgia
For love gonna board
The midnight train to Georgia
For love gonna board
The midnight train to Georgia
For love gonna board
The midnight train to Georgia

Midnight Train To Georgia Song Chart

This was written and originally recorded by Jim Weatherly, who had a solo hit in 1974 with "The Need To Be." Weatherly explained the origin of this song in an interview with Gary James: "The song actually came about after a phone call I had with Farrah Fawcett. Lee Majors was a friend of mine. We'd played in the Flag Football League together in L.A. He had just started dating Farrah. One day I called Lee and Farrah answered the phone. We were just talking and she said she was packing. She was gonna take the midnight plane to Houston to visit her folks. So, it just stayed with me. After I got off the phone, I sat down and wrote the song probably in about 30 to 45 minutes. Something like that. Didn't take me long at all, 'cause I actually used Farrah and Lee as kind of like characters I guess. A girl that comes to L.A. to make it and doesn't make it and leaves to go back home. The guy goes back with her. Pretty simple little story, but it felt real to me. It felt honest to me. I played it for them and they loved it. I cut it on my first album as 'Midnight Plane To Houston.' And then later on, maybe a year or six months later, a guy in Atlanta wanted to cut the song on Cissy Houston, Whitney's mother. They called and said they would like a more R&B sounding title and asked if we would mind if they changed the title to 'Midnight Train To Georgia' [so that "Houston" wouldn't appear in both the title and artist name]. We said 'change anything but the writer and publisher.' So, he cut the song on Cissy Houston and it was a nice little cross between an R&B and country record. It got on the R&B charts. That's the version that Gladys heard. Some of the background vocals you hear on Glady's records were first on Cissy Houston's record. It wasn't as much, but just some of the feel of the background vocals. And of course Gladys' record was more of a groove-oriented thing. It wasn't as slow. It just became a monster record."

Gladys Knight & The Pips recorded Weatherly's "Neither One of Us (Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye)" in 1973 and released it as a kiss-off record as their contract to Motown Recording Company (Soul Record) was expiring. "Neither One of Us" was their biggest Motown/Soul hit, reaching #2 as the group signed with Buddha Records. When they decided to record an album consisting of only Jim Weatherly songs (Imagination), his publisher sent a copy of the song to Knight. This was the second single from the album, after "Where Peaceful Waters Flow." It became the group's biggest hit. The third and fourth singles off the album didn't do too badly either - "I've Got to Use My Imagination" peaked at #4 in the US, "Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me" #3.

"Midnight Train To Georgia" was not only a #1 hit on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B, but also a #10 on the UK Singles chart. It garnered the group the 1974 Grammy Award for "Best R&B Vocal Performance" and was also inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. It is considered Gladys Knight's signature song.

This title is name-checked in Billy Crystal's 1989 TV special Midnight Train to Moscow.

Films and television shows in which "Midnight Train To Georgia" is part of the soundtrack include The Deer Hunter, 30 Rock, House M.D., Broadcast News, and Las Vegas. It also gets its day in the sun in the 1974 episode of VH1's I Love the '70s: Volume 2. Richard Pryor (we still miss him) also used it in his 1977 special.

You might ask what, exactly, a "pip" is besides Knight's backing singers. Well, a 'pip' is casino/gaming jargon for the spots on a die or domino. So when you're at a craps table and you roll a "hard 8" on the dice, that means that there's four pips showing on the face of each die, as opposed to an "easy 8" which would be the statistically more common 2-6 or 3-5 combinations of pips.

Other songs involving trains include "Last Train To Clarksville," "City Of New Orleans", "Love Train", "Runaway Train", and of course Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'", which also has a "midnight train." Train themes seem to be most popular in folk music and R&B.

This song has special relevance when you consider 21st century online dating, which unites partners over the internet who are separated by a great distance. The decision the protagonist has to make, choosing to move to Georgia to "live in his world," is a common one that people have to eventually face if they start a long-distance relationship.

Rag Doll Lyrics

Ooh
Oh, Rag Doll, ooh
Hand me down
When she was just a kid
Her clothes were hand-me-downs

Hand-me-down
They always laughed at her when she came into town
Called her rag doll
Little rag doll

Such a pretty face should be dressed in lace
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Shag rag doll)

I'd change her sad rags into glad rags
If I could (if I could)
My folks won't let me
'Cause they say that she's no good
She's a rag doll, such a rag doll
Though I love her so
I can't let her know

Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oh
Aah aah aah aah aah, rag doll
I love you just they way you are
Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, rag doll, ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, rag doll, ooh

Rag Doll Song Chart

Group member and chief songwriter Bob Gaudio wrote this. He was driving his car to the studio in New York City when he was stopped at a "three-minute light." A little girl - with ragged clothes and dirty face - ran up to the car and cleaned the windshield. As the light changed, Gaudio rummaged frantically through his pockets in an effort to find a quarter to pay the girl, who did indeed look like a Rag Doll. The smallest piece of money he could find was a five-dollar bill (sometimes Gaudio would say "ten-dollar bill" when he tells this story), so he gave her the currency. She was speechless, but he remembered her stunned look at the studio, where he composed the song.

When Gaudio and their producer, Bob Crewe, finished writing this, they wanted it to be the next Four Seasons single instead of one that was already scheduled for release, but the group was set to begin a tour the next day. Because their regular studio was closed on Sundays, they recorded this in the basement of a Manhattan demo studio, using a production crew with whom they had never worked before.

Unless you were The Beatles, it was very hard to get a #1 hit in the US in 1964. This was a major accomplishment for an American group during the British invasion. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for all above)

The B-side of this single was the original version of "Silence Is Golden," a big hit with the English group Tremeloes in 1967. (thanks, Kent - Gothenburg, Sweden)

It's Kinda Funny Song Chart

Josef K were a Scottish post-punk band named after the protagonist of Franz Kafka's novel The Trial. Although they released just one album in 1981 and achieved little commercial success, they have since proved influential on many groups that followed including The Wedding Present, Franz Ferdinand and The Rapture.

Frontman Paul Haig explained this song's meaning to Uncut magazine September 2014: "It's Kinda Funny is a song about the human condition," he said. "And death."

"I lived with my parents, and I was going to go out to meet this girl that I was quite keen on, which she didn't know," Haig continued. "So the first line, 'You may be dumb, but the passage of time can change anything like the feelings we find,' was about meeting her, because she was dumb to my feelings. It was really about hoping that things would change in the future, and we'd get together. So the first part is a very normal unrequited love type thing. Then it goes off into the existentialist chewy stuff."

A number of people have wrongly surmised the song was inspired by the passing of Joy Division's vocalist Ian Curtis. Haig told Uncut magazine: "I have heard people say it was inspired by Ian Curtis' death. It wasn't. It was a song I was writing before going out."

"It came together incredibly quickly," he added. "I did the whole arrangement, the guitar solo, and the lyrics in about 20 minutes. The only thing that makes me think of Joy Division is the bassline, which was influenced by Hooky."

Big Girls Don't Cry Song Chart

This song was written by Four Seasons member and chief songwriter Bob Gaudio along with their producer, Bob Crewe. It was inspired by a line in a B-movie featuring John Payne. Crewe was half-asleep when he heard this line from a blonde bombshell character who was just slapped by Payne. When she was asked what she thought about being slapped, she replied, "Big girls don't cry." Crewe jotted down the line, fell asleep, and wrote the song the next day.

This was designed to sound similar to The Four Seasons first hit, "Sherry," which topped the charts for five weeks a month before "Big Girls Don't Cry" hit the top spot. Motown soon applied the same approach to its acts: if someone had a hit - especially an unexpected one - follow it up with something very similar. Like "Sherry," this spent five weeks at #1 in the US.

Nick Massi sang the bass vocals on this track, repeating the phrase "silly boy." Massi's vocals were a big part of the group's early success, but he left the Four Seasons in 1965 as they moved away from the bass sound.

This song plays in the opening scene of the 1987 movie Dirty Dancing (which is set in 1963), and also appears in the films The Main Event (1979) and Mermaids (1990).

The female rapper MC Lyte interpolated this on a song of the same name she released in 1988.

Don't say that I never moved you
Just because I saw the light before you did
And you say that I never showed you
All the rooms inside of my soul

Yeah
Yeah
You say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me

Walking up and down the hall
Frankie and his favorite lover
Speaking all the words she wants to hear
But that don't mean forever

Yeah
You say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me

Yeah
You say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me

Sitting down by the fire
Frankie plays the guitar
To people playing make believe
They say, "can we get a little higher?"

You give it away
You give it away
You give it away
You give it away
So easy baby
But I can't stand
An hour break
Another day
So let me make it easy babe

And it goes on and on
On and on and on

Packing her bags
She found somewhere to stay
And in the car to the station
You know the world looks a little brighter
And then there's no need for conversations
Tell me why

You give it away
You give it away
You give it away
You give it away
So easy baby
But I can't stand
An hour break
Another day
So let me make it easy babe

Yeah
You say you need someone to love you

Yeah
You say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me

Yeah
I forgive and forget you
You say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me
Yeah
So I forgive and forget you
You say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me

Forgive & Forget Song Chart

After bonding with Inflo whilst traveling in America, Kooks fromtman Luke Pritchard headed to Los Angeles with the hip hop producer to pen some tunes. This story of a couple breaking up in a bar was the first song they wrote together. The singer explained to Q magazine that the "magic" first take vocal demo for this song in LA was later sewn into the band's London sessions.

The song's performance-based video was directed by Ivana Bobic, who is known for the movies The Priest and Frankie Teardrop (both 2009) and In the Night (2012). The clip finds The Kooks performing the song 'in the round', surrounded by dancers. Bibic told Promo News : "Forgive & Forget is such a fun, big track that I wanted to have an all-singing-all-dancing approach to it - the whole lot - band, dancers and a giant human zoetrope."

"The title suggested a kind of tongue-in-cheek love amnesia and constant repetition, so I wondered if I could make the whole video circular - constantly spinning around and around," she added. "I wanted the dancers to multiply into the band performance as the track progresses, they're like space-babes with an Alexander Wang twist, appearing from the dark. The dance builds and builds to the big middle eight drums where the whole spinning circus accelerates to a giant zoetrope and the dancers turn into one. It's a bit of a visual pun on the 'forgetting.'"

Can't Get There From Here Lyrics

Can't Get There From Here Song Chart

This was the first single off the album. It didn't chart, but the album was the first by R.E.M. to chart in the UK.

This was influenced by Soul records R.E.M. listened to. The band approached the song as a "tongue-in-cheek tribute" because they were a bunch of white guys trying, but failing, to emulate their black Soul idols. Instead, they wound up with their own unique sound.

Lead singer Michael Stipe refers in the lyrics to "Brother Ray." This is most likely pianist Ray Charles.

This was never intended to be included on a record. When they played it at some surprise gigs in their hometown of Athens, Georgia, the crowds loved it, so they recorded it.

Philomath is a town referred to in the lyrics as a place gone to for inspiration. It is a real town in Georgia, east of Atlanta, but Stipe claims he's never been there. He picked it because it was "fictional-sounding."

Again with the Soul motif, Stipe screams at several points, "Gentlemen testify!" This is a phrase often heard in black churches.

The line, "Lawyer Jeff he knows the lowdown" refers to former R.E.M. manager Jefferson Holt, who was fired following allegations of sexual harassment.

The band no longer plays this song in any of their concerts. (thanks, Sam - Lincoln, NE, for above 2)

Regarding the lyrics, "Philomath they know the lowdown," Philomath was a stop on the Georgia Railway near Athens. (thanks, Tristan - Pennsburg, PA)

The music video, directed by Michael Stipe and Rick Aguar, shows the guys at a drive-in theater, juxtaposed with images of them running and tumbling through a country field and performing in silhouette. "We used the new-to-us 'blue screen' process," Peter Buck told MTV UK in 2001. "So we have dinosaurs and monsters in the background. It's probably the most humorous video we've ever done. For a band that's kind of noted for not having a sense of humor, I kind of enjoy that aspect of it."

This song title occasionally appears without an apostrophe, a punctuation mark the band often eschews.

This was the first R.E.M. song to employ a horn section.

Let It Be Lyrics

Let It Be Song Chart

The first single from Labrinth's Take Me to the Truth album, the English musician launched the song during a surprise performance at Stables Market Camden, London on August 17, 2014. "I knew I had been gone a long time and needed to come back with a single that was special, something forward-thinking," he said. "I wanted an opening statement to my second album and I put extra pressure on myself to come up with that."

Labrinth admitted to Digital Spy concerns about releasing the tune as it doesn't sound like anything he's done before. "It made me go back and look at all the other records again," he said, "and be like, 'Ah, maybe it needs to sound more exciting? Maybe it's not poppy enough? Or commercial enough.'"

The 'Take Me To the Truth' title was inspired by Labrinth's decision to shun big-name collaborations on the album. "The truth is, I'm not going to pretend to be friends with loads of Hollywood stars and put them on my album and make s--t records with them just to have their name on there," he told Digital Spy . "I did work with a few US artists - like, massive names - but I just didn't think the songs were quite right, so I thought, 'I don't want to put out crap music.'"

"I don't want to make something I don't enjoy, because I'm going to have to sing it for the next two years," Labrinth added. "I was like, 'Just don't do it, don't put it on the album.'"

Labrinth explained to The Independent that the idea behind the song is "telling people the reality of what I'm in."

Labrinth admitted to The Sun that he expected criticism for using the same title as a classic Beatles song. "All my mates were like, 'Lab,' It's a bit ballsy to name your record 'Let It Be' and I agree – but it's an important song about the anxiety and fear caused by worrying and trying to control where your life is going."

Heat of the Moment Lyrics

I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
A look from you and I would fall from grace
And that would wipe this smile right from my face

Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidence arose from circumstance
One thing lead to another we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung

It was the Heat of the Moment
Telling me what your heart meant
The heat of the moment shone in your eyes

And now you find yourself in eighty two
The disco hot spots hold no charm for you
You can't concern yourself with bigger things
You catch the pearl and ride the dragon's wings

'Cause it's the heat of the moment
Heat of the moment, the heat of the moment
Shone in your eyes

And when your looks are gone and you're alone
How many nights you sit beside the phone
What were the things you wanted for yourself
Teenage ambition you remember well

It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
The heat of the moment shone in your eyes

It was the heat of the moment
The heat of the moment, heat of the moment
Shone in your eyes

Heat of the moment, heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment

Asia featured an all-star lineup: John Wetton from King Crimson, Steve Howe from Yes, Carl Palmer from Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and Geoff Downes from the Buggles and Yes. Wetton and Downes wrote this song, which describes an intense relationship between a young couple, and questions what will happen when they get older.

Saying sorry in song became commonplace in the hair metal era, but in 1982 you rarely heard a rocker apologize, as it was considered wimpy. This song, however, begins with contrition, as Wetton sings: "I never meant to be so bad to you."

"The whole song is just an apology," Wetton said in our interview . "It's just saying I f--ked up. I hold my hand out and I got it wrong. I never meant it to be like that. I didn't want it to be like that. And so I'm sorry."

There was a specific person John Wetton was singing about on this track: his girlfriend Jill, who would later become his wife. The couple divorced after 10 years of marriage.

John Wetton wasn't concerned about macho posturing when he wrote this song; he was trying to bare his soul in the manner of one of his songwriting idols: Joni Mitchell. This first-person, emotive style was typical of Mitchell and a big influence on this and the other songs on the first Asia album.

This is the group's biggest hit. Asia scored another US Top 10 on their next album with "Don't Cry, but disbanded in the late '80s and never returned to the Top 40 upon their return. Later Asia material was more true to their progressive rock roots and not likely to chart.

This song was featured in the movie The 40 year old Virgin. The main character in the film (played by Steve Carell) has an Asia poster on his wall, which helps explain why he's a 40 year old virgin.

John Wetton of Asia told us that he's a big fan of the film and loved the scene where Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen accuse Carell of being gay because of his poster.

This was featured in an episode of the TV show South Park where Cartman is talking to Congress about stem cell research after his friend Kenny dies. He starts singing this song, and the entire congress joins in.

This song was featured in the video game Guitar Hero Rocks the '80s, allowing people to play along with this song with a virtual guitar. (thanks, Bert - Pueblo, NM, for above 2)

John Wetton started writing this song in 1980 when he was a member of the band Wishbone Ash, which were recording their album Number the Brave at Criteria Studios in Miami. When sessions would end around 6pm, Wetton would stay late in the studio and come up with ideas, many of which made their way onto the first Asia album. "I couldn't waste a studio like that with the best time in it," he told us.

This was the last song the band recorded for the album, but it ended up being the first single. The same thing happened on the next two Asia albums, as the final songs recorded were the first singles: "Don't Cry" on Alpha (1983) and "Go" on Astra (1985). Wetton thinks this is because the band tended to be very focused by the last song.

The video was directed by the team of Godley & Creme, who had their own band called 10cc. Their clips did very well on MTV, since they offered high production value and striking images. The "Heat of the Moment" video used a grid look, with the boxes constantly changing. It was a great way to show fleeting, memorable images (like the flaming cymbal) and also get in plenty of footage of the band. Godley & Creme also directed the "Only Time Will Tell" video.

About The Money Lyrics

Bustin' out the bando
A nigga jewelry real metal like a can opener
I went from rags to riches to a feature with Tip
I went from Smart Car to a bitch with some smart lips
And the F&N make my hip limp
I'm goin' fishin' with these little bitty shrimp dips
And my bank roll got a big dip
She gon' bring it on a big ship
Quite trill, no Quik Trip
I got drugs in the alley, no tip there
She just wanna have a good day
Smoke way more weed than a guy in L.A
I want them birds 'til next May
Never let em fly away
What!? I heard ay
Listen what my nigga Tip say

If it ain't About The Money
Don't be blowin' me up, nigga I ain't gettin' up
If it ain't about the money
Ain't no use in you ringin' my line, stop wastin' my time
If it ain't about the money
Nah I can't even hear what you say, I ain't finna do shit
If it ain't about the money
Bitch, you can miss me with it, bitch nigga miss me with it

I'm packin' 11, I'm packin' 11
I ride in a gator, my shoes are Guiseppe
I'm slime like the reverend, I shoot at the reverend
Pants out the grocery store, they stuck with lettuce
She try make the extras, I told on these bitches
When it's bout time to pay I'ma bail on these bitches

Ay what you think we in the neighborhood for?
Standin' at the corner store with a pocket full of dough
I'll be damned if a nigga wipe a hood hoe
Learned that from UGK back in "Pocket Full of Stones"
Put your money down I could book a hard four
You playin' with it, I'ma send 'em through your car door
But while I flood the shit sick got prob' oh
I'm doin' it for black and yellow, free Hardo
The head honcho, nigga no Tonto, nigga
I'm quick to put some bricks in a Bronco, nigga
Niggas talk shit, well I don't respond to no nigga
No murder, no dough, no convo

If it ain't about the money
Don't be blowin' me up, nigga I ain't gettin' up
If it ain't about the money
Ain't no use in you ringin' my line, stop wastin' my time
If it ain't about the money
Nah I can't even hear what you say, I ain't finna do shit
If it ain't about the money
Bitch, you can miss me with it, bitch nigga miss me with it

I'm packin' 11, I'm packin' 11
I ride in a gator, my shoes are Guiseppe
I'm slime like the reverend, I shoot at the reverend
Pants out the grocery store, they stuck with lettuce
She try make the extras, I told on these bitches
When it's bout time to pay I'ma bail on these bitches

Aye, what you think we in the neighborhood for?
Standin in the trap, slangin good blow
Maybach used to slang that crack
Buy a stolen car while he bang that AK
If you ever took a loss better bring that back
Catcha' witcha' betcha' heat will blow your brains bout that
Know you better be, on your best behavior when addressing me
Because, bye-gones, we don't let em be
Niggas disrespect me, I'm a catch a felony
For real, if you listen I can get you paid
But not interested in shit you say

If it ain't about the money
Don't be blowin' me up, nigga I ain't gettin' up
If it ain't about the money
Ain't no use in you ringin' my line, stop wastin' my time
If it ain't about the money
Nah I can't even hear what you say, I ain't finna do shit
If it ain't about the money
Bitch, you can miss me with it, bitch nigga miss me with it

I'm packin' 11, I'm packin' 11
I ride in a gator, my shoes are Guiseppe
I'm slime like the reverend, I shoot at the reverend
Pants out the grocery store, they stuck with lettuce
She try make the extras, I told on these bitches
When it's bout time to pay I'ma bail on these bitches

Ay, what you think we in the neighborhood for?
Standin' at the corner store with a pocket full of dough
I’ll be damned if a nigga wife a hood ho
Learned that from UGK back in "Pocket Full of Stones" nigga

About The Money Song Chart

The first single from Paperwork: The Motion Picture, this features guest vocals from T.I.'s fellow Atlanta-based rapper Young Thug. The song was premiered by DJ Whoo Kid and DJ MLK on Shade 45 on May 19, 2014.

Tip informs us on the hook that you shouldn't disturb his grind unless you are telling him of ways to make money.

The song features a sample-heavy beat from Young Thug's frequent collaborator London on da Track.

T.I. told the story of his collaboration with Young Thug and London on da Track: "Right around 'after the club' hours, I was like 3:30 4 'o clock, I'm in the studio getting calls like 'Yo, we pulling up,'" he recalled. "Immediately, we exchanged pleasantries and began listening to beats and went right in there and did 'About The Money.' That was the first record we did. Since then, we done did about 12, 13 records."

This won Hip-Hop Song of the Year in the 2015 Boombox Fan Choice Awards.
