Lyrics:
[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]
Get off my dick, let me do me
That's a million bucks, every two weeks
I'm fuckin' on an actress, we makin' movies
I'm pullin' out my camera, we shootin' new scenes
I'm flexin' stupid on these niggas, pukin' on these niggas
Sippin' all this drank, Lord I'm juicin' on these niggas
Got my bitch ballin' hard, Sheryl Swoopin' on these niggas
Mind your fuckin' business and stop googlin' on me, nigga
I do Tunechi on these niggas
[Verse 2: August Alsina]
Ridin' through the city with a bad bitch with me
She wanna know if she can bring her friends
But my niggas wanna know if they're pretty
Yeah they can tag along
Bet you I could tag 'em all
With a little love and some alcohol
But I'ma pass 'em off to my niggas
Kick 'em out when I'm done, nigga, fuck 'em all
Back to the grind
I work so hard like I get paid overtime
But when I see the check come deep
Run up in the mall, buy the same thing three times
Call this foreplay
Cause when the hoes see me shop, you can see the panties drop
Runnin' up a check get 'em so wet
Gotta ball out, call it BowFlex
They wanna know how I go so hard but I'm still so young
Enemy so good, and I'm still not done
No I ain't stoppin' 'til I got it all
And I'm winnin' 'til it ain't no room for losin'
[Chorus: August Alsina]
I ain't gotta tell you why I do it
Get cash, get cars, go hard
I ain't gotta tell you why I do it
Nigga I don't ask why you do your job
I ain't gotta tell you why I do it
I grind sundown to sunrise
Don't tell me to prove it, cause I might lose it
I ain't gotta tell you why I do it
I ain't gotta tell you why I do it
I ain't gotta tell you why I do it
I ain't gotta tell you why I do it
I ain't gotta tell you why I do it
Don't have to tell you, the plan is relentless
I ain't gotta tell you why I do it
Nigga that's my business
Even if you say you don't fuck with it
[Verse 3: August Alsina]
Cause you know for my niggas I'ma stay down
Stay down, stay down
We never trust them bitches, better lay down
Lay down, lay down
But they never come around when the money out
Money out, money out
I've done seen people that ran out
Tryna come around for a handout
[Verse 4: Lil Wayne]
I woke up this mornin', dick rock hard
If you lookin' for your woman, she just hopped off
If you lookin' for some trouble, ain't gotta look far
I put that dick in her stomach, she holla, "Good Lord"
I put that dick in her stomach, she holla, "Good God"
These niggas claimin' they thuggin', they know they good boys
My niggas call me KG, cause I'm the Kush God
And my coupe don't need a key, I'm talkin' push start, push start
Ridin' and vibin', ain't hidin', come find me
It ain't hard to find me cause nigga I'm shinin'
I ain't got to tell these boys, they know I'm shinin'
I ain't got to tell my goons turn up, they bother you
Fuck with me right now, that's bad timin'
Fatherless children and sad mommies
Fuck all this shit they be sayin' 'bout me
I'm on that sippin', too damn drowsy for that bullshit
[Chorus: August Alsina]
I ain't gotta tell you why I do it
Get cash, get cars, go hard
I ain't gotta tell you why I do it
Nigga I don't ask why you do your job
I ain't gotta tell you why I do it
I grind sundown to sunrise
Don't tell me to prove it, cause I might lose it
I ain't gotta tell you why I do it
I ain't gotta tell you why I do it
I ain't gotta tell you why I do it
I ain't gotta tell you why I do it
I ain't gotta tell you why I do it
Don't have to tell you, the plan is relentless
I ain't gotta tell you why I do it
Nigga that's my business
Even if you say you don't fuck with it

Lil Wayne never has to try to hard to rap .. He is just naturally a good lyricist! I like this song & August Alsina's voice is different it's like a nice R&B tone.. Different from Trey or Chris etc..

[@hoodyman415]

Yes indeed facts my friend

[@jjOHNji]

+sabrina wellington naturally good lyricist??? lil wayne?? haha you can't be serious. the problem with lil wayne is you fans give him an big head that he never feels he needs to improve on his craft. that's why it looks like he doesn't try hard to rap. not because he is good at rapping its because of dumb fucks like yourselves for making it look like he is on par with the likes of jay-z, nas, biggie, tupac, ice cube and all the greats etc the fact of the matter is he isn't even on par with the Kendrick lamar and j.cole of this world. so I say again good lyricist??? lil wayne?? have a re-think please!

[@jjOHNji]

not negativity just facts coming from an unwashed hip hop fan. too many brainwashed people these days no wonder hip hop has been on the decline you fucks have had to endure lil wayne all these years. I feel sorry for you fools.

[@jjOHNji]

on a positive note august did his thing would of been better song without that clown on it.

[@isaackhan5700]

+Mega Reapz Exactly. this song is amazing apart from Lil Waynes part. seriously how do Lil Waynes lyrics fit into the song? the song is a representation of success and people questioning you on your path to success, then out of nowhere we have Lil Wayne talking about his penis. anyone that likes Lil Wayne is delusional. he's nothing but dead weight in an era that includes JCole and Kendrick Lamar. if this song was strictly August, I wouldn't have mind even paying $5 for this on iTunes. I think August needs to remake this by himself

[@ThemDotcomBoyz]

so much respect for lil wayne. he's been through alot and still stands on his two feets and keeps grinding no matter what. you can tell he loves what he does and I know he's gona keep on hold of that to keep his life occupied and show the people hes not a quitter. that's just the way I see it iguess hahahaha

[@CASSOBLVCK]

I didn't even know August was still alive. Good to see him still killing shit

[@shaniaraisor1631]

+Jafar S. so many rappers are better then Weezy maine you trippin

[@LionheartJafar]

No he's top 5 rn

[@Jakethesnake340]

+owen delgado Waynes top 5 all day

[@JayyLamar15]

+Jafar S. You're making it seem like Wayne declined and disappeared from the rap game. Wayne is still one of the best rappers of all time. Ever since 2012 people kept saying Wayne is trash and that the old Wayne is long gone. He hadn't went any where people have to understand that Music is a business and right now(correct me if I'm wrong) majority of the people don't want to hear rappers going hard on every track like it was in the early 00's and 90's. its not like that anymore, So Wayne to just sit back and make club music for a while (like 2 Chainz) until the people are ready for him to go hard on every track like he used to. And its getting pretty close to that time.

[@ak7940]

I love Augusts confidence and his belief in himself and his art. It shines through no matter how big the collab

[@JaydubEntertanment]

Bro lil Wayne fuckin funny af lmao!!! And yeah a lot of people sleep on august. I'm one of them I shoulda been listening to dude bro he real af man like nobody really tells story's this nigga been doin it, but then again I need used to listen to lyrics cause I'm a producer. Now I'm an artist, so I'm starting to see and recognize a bunch of lyrics
