[Chorus: ]
This morning, (What?) I woke up
Feeling like money (What'd you do?)
I jumped up
Put on my Gucci's (And what?)
And my hat (What else?)
Got my bag (What else?)
Got my strap
Gotta start rollin'
I was thinking ('Bout what?)
'Bout jacks and cracks and Ben Franklins
(Only thing on my mind)
Was geeked up (What's on your mind?)
Geeked up (What's on your mind?)
Geeked up

Only thing on my mind is
Money, money, money
For some reason she just be callin' my name
(Rocko, Rocko)
I guess it's all in the game
'Cause I always run get her
She's a part of me man

I left the studio at 7
Took a three hour nap (Then?)
10 o'clock flashed
I'm right back in the trap
Been addicted to the money
For more than half my life
Grew up fast, I bought a car
Ain't never had a wife
Lost playa type of cat
I never had a wife (Why?)
I'm married to the cash
She treat her daddy right
What would I do?
If I ain't had my muscle
What would I do?
If I ain't have this hustle

[Chorus]

From that geek o
Wake up, Get up
Time to get dough
The only thing on my mind
Is the bubba
So I can all my niggas out the gutta
The only thing on my mind
Is to be the best
Number 1, won't settle for anything less
The only thing on my mind
Is do my thing (What else?)
Break bread with my team
The only thing on my mind
Is to stack my cash
Ball ev'ry day just like it's my last
The only thing on my mind
Is my kids
So they ain't gotta do the shit that I did

[Chorus]

The only thing on my mind
Is money, money, money
