I want the money, money and the cars, cars and the clothes
I suppose
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful

Ahh yeah Trey I fuckin' feel ya
They be starin' at the money ilike its unfamilar
I get it, I live it to me there's nothing realer
Just enough'll solve your problems
Too much'll kill ya
And when I leave I always come right back here
The young spitter that everybody in rap fear
Alotta y'all is still soundin' like last year
The game needs change and I'm the mothafuckin' cashier
Nickel for my thoughts, dimes in my bed
Quarters of the kush shape the lines in my head
Take my verses too serious and you'll hate me
'Cause I'm the one to paint a vivid picture no HD
I want it all that's why I strive for it
Diss me and you'll never hear a reply for it
Any award show or party I get fly for it
I know that it's coming I just hope that I'm alive for it

I want the money, money and the cars, cars and the clothes
I suppose
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful

I want the money, money, money I want a whole lot of that
All the honeys they askin' where the dollars at
Where yo' head at, tell me 'bout your styling cap
Tryna find a way but u never got a map
Dream chaser, risk taker
No favor, though haters
They might want me to drown
Holdin' me down
But the throne and the crown
Is all I ever wanted, all I ever needed
If I'm the only one and don't nobody else believe it
Then keep it a secret and watch me achieve it
'Cause I know what I want now
So if you want the money
If you gotta make
If you the only one and don t nobody else believe it
Then tell em to beat it
And watch you achieve it
Sing it if you want

I want the money, money and the cars, cars and the clothes
I suppose
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful


Yeah, I want things top go my way
But as of late alotta shit been goin' sidewqays
And my mother tried to run away from home
But I left something in the car
So I caught her in the driveway
And she cried to me, so I cried too
And my stomach was soakin' wet, she only 5'2"
And 40 that was all before I showed up
And brought a thousand dollars worth of drinks and got poured up
Damn, my reality just set in
And even when the Phantom's leased them hoes wanna get in
I do alot of things hopin' I never have to fit in
So tryna keep up with my progress is like a dead end
My girl love me, but fuck it my heart beats slow
And right now the tour bus is looking like a freak show
And life change for us every single week so
It's good but I hope this ain't the peak though
'Cause I want the

I want the money, money and the cars, cars and the clothes
I suppose
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful

The overall message of this song, to me, is that Trey and Drake wants to have a successful life. Yes they want all the material things and they want to be up there with everyone else, they just want to be successful at the same time.

The fav lines of mine are Trey Songz's lines, "They might want me to drown Holdin' me down But the throne and the crown Is all I ever wanted, all I ever needed If I'm the only one and don't nobody else believe it Then keep it a secret nd watch me achieve it 'Cause I know what I want now". He is talking about people who are against him try what they can to make sure that he does not succeed. Even though they are doing their best to stop him from gaining success, the big dreams that he has wont let the 'haters' get in his way. If he is the only person to beleive that he can reach success, then he is going to keep it to his self and achieve those goals on his own without their help.I think that this song should go down in HipHop history because even though people are trying to knock drake's and trey songz's hustle, they still remain positive and is going to do what they can to reach the top. Then they goes on to say that if you want something, go ahead and get it. if someone is trying to stop you, tell them to get out your way and watch you achieve your goals. This song could be used as a motivater because some people might need to hear these lyrics to help them believe in theirselves. This song can help them turn negativity into positivity.

I feel as though this song is important because it is telling people to keep their head up when it comes to their dreams and goals. If you dont keep your head up and attitude positive, you wont achieve those dreams and goals. Yes there will always be someone there to try and stop you, but you have to remain positive and move them out your way so you can get to the top. If you keep believing that you can do it, then it will happen.
