No matter what y'all say or do
We gotta get this money
Watch out playa, we come for you
Take all of your honies

First of the month and rent is due
We gotta get this paper
Come for us, we'll wait for you
A million men can't take us

Did you ever think that you would be this rich?
Did you ever think that you would have these hits?
Did you ever think that you would be the don?
Have a crib with a fifty acre lawn?

Did you ever think that you would be this paid?
Were there times when your *** was real afraid?
Did you ever think that you would sell out tours
Have a show with fifty million viewers?

I used to think about how I was gonna make it
Struggling day to day just trying to get this paper
Hoping the day would come when things would go my way
But now I’m living lavish and all I do is hear them say

Did you ever think that you would be this rich?
Did you ever think that you would have these hits?
Did you ever think that you would be the don?
Have a crib with a fifty acre lawn?

Did you ever think that you would be this paid?
Were there times when your *** was real afraid?
Did you ever think that you would sell out tours
Have a show with fifty million viewers?

Hey yo, now who knows poverty like Robert and me
Q, did you ever think you'd be dancin' and vibin' with me
Q, did you ever think you'd push a Ferrari, blast a Nas CD
With 5 TV's and DVD's, come on ride with me

Hey then you fly like me, honey, you heard about the style I got
We from the wildest plot, we're police
May the rest carry heat where best, we ghetto
Never thought we'd ever reach this level

My people behind metal, the streets coulda had us
But now we live lavish, our preach be the baddest
Bus 'em out while maids change the sheets on the mattress
It's deep 'cuz I never thought, I'd reach this status

Walk around and grown women stop and look
They recognize me, no longer hide they pocketbooks
Hate me now 'cuz I ain't gonna stop, you're stuck
The remix is R. Kelly, please drop the hook, come on

Did you ever think that you would be this rich?

America, did you ever think
Ya ever know

Did ya ever think
