(Mmm, I'm with it now, ay)
(I did this shit by design, I did this shit by design, ay)
(I did this shit by design, I did this shit by design)

I did this shit by design
I need my money on time
If that's not why you callin' my line
Trust me, you will get declined
Can't do no 9-to-5
I had to get on my grind
Woke up today feelin' fine
Nigga, don't get out of line

Lock it up, and I flip it like it was cocaine
Get the money then split it up with the whole gang
I came back to the city, ain't sayin' no names
Niggas been fuckin' wit me. Like way before fame
I cannot go broke, man

I need my money on time, I need my money on time
I did this shit by design, I did this shit by design

I came up and split it with the whole gang
Put your hands back atcho side. You do not know me
I got gas. I’m like Hank Hill with the propane
You don't smoke no loud. Yo blunt a throwaway
Don't let nobody mislead you
See, I'm a man of the people
I cannot stand by no evil
In my ends where the means is illegal
When you talk, don't nobody believe you
When I talk, my enemies drop
The devil been tryna convince me to stop
I'm gettin' paid off them sentences now
Free the sentenced, 'cause now

I did this shit by design
I need my money on time
If that's not why you callin' my line
Trust me, you will get declined
Can't do no 9-to-5
I had to get on my grind
Woke up today feelin' fine
Nigga, don't get out of line

Lock it up, and I flip it like it was cocaine
Get the money then split it up with the whole gang
I came back to the city, ain't sayin' no names
Niggas been fuckin' wit me. Like way before fame
I cannot go broke, man

I need my money on time, I need my money on time
I did this shit by design, I did this shit by design

What if I never catch a wave?
What if I'm never on stage?
A nigga still need to get paid
I ain't got time to wait
My mama need help on the bills
So, I need the connect on the pills
Spent the whole day with no meals
You can catch me in the field
I'm the nigga put you in position to make you win
How does it feel, I'm the reason niggas know who you is?
Everybody change
But I'm the one to blame
It hurt to say your name
While I drift from state-to-state
Tryna make a play

I did this shit by design
I need my money on time
If that's not why you callin' my line
Trust me, you will get declined
Can't do no 9-to-5
I had to get on my grind
Woke up today feelin' fine
Nigga, don't get out of line

Lock it up, and I flip it like it was cocaine
Get the money then split it up with the whole gang
I came back to the city, ain't sayin' no names
Niggas been fuckin' wit me. Like way before fame
I cannot go broke, man

I need my money on time, I need my money on time
I did this shit by design, I did this shit by design
