August Alsina

Born and bred from the streets of New Orleans, Louisiana, enter into the game, 21-year-old August Alsina... With the love and hustle of the Crescent City running through his veins, August is eager to follow in the footsteps of the NOLA music legends that paved his way. His recently inked deal with Def Jam Recordings looks to be a great step in the right direction, but music wasn't always in his future. August learned at an early age that drugs and money could make you, or break you. With both his father and stepfather battling crack addiction, August's mother moved their family to Houston, Texas in search of a fresh start. But Houston provided no happy ending.

As I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take

My cup full I'm laid back, I'm bout mine you know that
I'm rag racing, zoom zoom, in a rush to get all that
Cross my heart, I die hard, come throw your hood in all black
If you real you'd recognize

All I do is grind and pray, riding through the streets all day
I'm just
Getting to this money, getting getting to this money
Getting to this money, getting getting to this money
(I'm a keep grinding, grinding)

All I do is grind and pray, riding through these streets all day
(All day)
Getting to this money, getting getting to this money
Getting to this money, getting getting to this money

(I'm a keep grinding, grinding)
(I'm a keep grinding)

[Get Ya Money]

They don't ever see you like I do
First thing when you wake up, before you put on your make up
And they don't really know you like I do
'Cause with me you ain't the same, you ain't gotta run no game
Girl 'cause what you do and what I do ain't different
We both on a mission, I love your ambition
And I know how it is too hit the block and get the gwop
And you know what it is to hit the stage and make it pop
Like damn I hope somebody spend some money today
And I pray nobody come and try to take it away
'Cause I'm just out here doing what I gotta do
'Cause all these fucking bills are due
And I see all this money to make, so girl you know that

I ain't judging you, go and get your money
Go and get your money, go and get your money
Baby, I salute go and get your money
Go and get your money, go and get your money
Make that money girl it's yours
Spend that money girl it's yours
You work hard for it, it's yours
Work that body baby it's yours
I ain't judging you, go and get your money
Go and get your money, go and get your money

Single mother in college, working hard for them dollars
Girl we got something in common, making money with ballers
See you pussy popping that onyx, keep it clapping at magic
Got them niggas tricking that chalice
Come on making this happen
Girl I love seeing your back bend, they cashing out
And you cash in, they going broke and you working
Back broke when you twerking
I know how hard this shit can be, when income is uncertain
Hustling just too make a way, and I know you thinking
Damn I hope somebody spend some money today
And I pray nobody come and try to take it away
'Cause I'm just out here doing what I gotta do
'Cause all these fucking bills are due
And I see all this money to make, so girl you know that

I ain't judging you, go and get your money
Go and get your money, go and get your money
Baby, I salute go and get your money
Go and get your money, go and get your money
Take that money girl it's yours
Spend that money girl it's yours
You work hard for it, it's yours
Work that body baby it's yours
I ain't judging you, go and get your money
Go and get your money, go and get your money

We grind together, we shine together
Show the single folks how to double
Two wrongs don't make it right
But two strong make a power couple
And our trouble is small talkers
Talking down on the big spenders
But the winners focus on the win
And sore losers focus on the winners
Stacked up shawty, stacked up shawty
And if I ever need it, she the back up for me
Blacked up foree, his and hers 'Cedes
No hoes to the house, just the first lady
So gon' get your money, don't let nobody stop that
Even if you gotta pop that (work-work that body baby it's yours)
We do it big, and no together we about to do it bigger
My little mama hustle harder than a lot of you niggas

I ain't judging you, go and get your money
Go and get your money, go and get your money
Baby, I salute go and get your money
Go and get your money, go and get your money
Make that money girl it's yours
Spend that money girl it's yours
You work hard for it, it's yours
Work that body baby it's yours
I ain't judging you, go and get your money
Go and get your money, go and get your money
