Verse One:
Seventeen dollars all to my name
I had to spend two went to got me a drank

At a sto' fo' mo' for a box of squares
I seen a fine (*##$ I had to stop and stare
It was hot and she was walkin' in the scorching sun

I said, "Get in pretty girl I don't want you to burn."
She said she lives across town and needed a ride
I would have took her but this gas is too highhhhh

I kept flippin'
I kept dippin'
I can't be wasting my time

Went to the tre for a dime
Now, I got a dollar left
Might as well give it to someone else, I can help

Tried to hand it to a brother
He said, "Man, you need more than this motha$#&@a"


Chorus:
The almighty dollar
It ain't what it used to be

Hobos used to asked you for a dollar
Now the mother$#&@ers ask you for three
The almighty dollar

Well that's what they used to say
One dollar used to be a whole lot, but it hardly worth %#@! today


[Devin talking]
Well %#@!, give me my dollar back ^!$$%
When I'm in the tre I might as well go buy T.S.U.

See what these fine girls do around here
Go to Franklin's and smell me some chicken or something
Damn, what are all these helicopters doin' around this motha$#&@a?


Continue my journey with the AC off
Smoke rushin' out the window every time I cough

I swang to the right and let the police pass
The ^!$$% tryin' to get away, them laws on his $$#
But I'm glad it ain't me

Aw naw, not now
I'm tryin' to rise, tryin' to climb
Don't want to fall back down

So I put the sweet out and wait until I arrive
Treat it like a Now 'N' Later because I'm already highhhhhh
I had no need for fronting

Ain't even try to be funny
^!$$% got to have money
Some of us love it

Some of us hate it
Some of us need it
Almighty dollar


Chorus
Outro:

[Clerk] Hello. How you do?
