[Jamie Foxx]

She take my money when I'm in need

Yea she's a trifflin friend indeed

Oh she's a gold digga way over town

That dig's on me

[Chorus:]

(She takes my money)

Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger (When I'm Need)

But she ain't messin' wit no broke niggaz

(She takes my money)

Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger (When I'm need)

But she ain't messin' wit no broke niggaz

Get down girl gone head get down (I gotta leave)

Get down girl gone head

[Verse 1:]

Cutie the bomb

Met her at a beauty salon

With a baby louis vuitton

Under her underarm

She said I can tell you ROC

I can tell by ya charm

Far as girls you got a flock

I can tell by ya charm and ya arm

but I'm lookin for the one

have you seen her

My psychic told me she have a ass like Serena

Trina, Jennifer Lopez, four kids

An I gotta take all they bad ass to show-biz

Ok get ya kids but then they got their friends

I Pulled up in the Benz, they all got up In

We all went to Den and then I had to pay

If you fuckin with this girl then you betta be payed

You know why

It take too much to touch her

From what I heard she got a baby by Busta

My best friend say she use to fuck wit Usher

I dont care what none of yall say I still love her

[Chorus:]

(She takes my money)

Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger (When I'm Need)

But she ain't messin' wit no broke niggaz

(She takes my money)

Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger (When I'm need)

but she ain't messin' wit no broke niggaz

get down girl gone head get down (I gotta leave)

get down girl gone head

[Verse 2:]

18 years, 18 years

She got one of yo kids got you for 18 years

I know somebody payin child support for one of his kids

His baby momma's car and crib is bigger than his

You will see him on TV Any Given Sunday

Win the Superbowl and drive off in a Hyundai

She was spose to buy ya shorty TYCO with ya money

She went to the doctor got lypo with ya money

She walkin around lookin like Michael with ya money

Should of got that insured got GEICO for ya moneeey

If you aint no punk holla We Want Prenup

WE WANT PRENUP!, Yeaah

It's something that you need to have

Cause when she leave yo ass she gone leave with half

18 years, 18 years

And on her 18th birthday he found out it wasn't his

[Chorus:]

(She takes my money)

Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger (When I'm Need)

But she ain't messin' wit no broke niggaz

(She takes my money)

Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger (When I'm need)

but she ain't messin' wit no broke niggaz

get down girl gone head get down (I gotta leave)

get down girl gone head

[Verse 3:]

Now I aint sayin you a gold digger you got needs

You dont want ya dude to smoke but he can't buy weed

You got out to eat and he cant pay yall cant leave

There's dishes in the back, he gotta roll up his sleeves

But why yall washin watch him

He gone make it into a Benz out of that Datson

He got that ambition baby look in his eyes

This week he moppin floorz next week it's the fries

So, stick by his side

I know his dude's ballin but yea thats nice

And they gone keep callin and tryin

But you stay right girl

But when you get on he leave yo a** for a white girl

Get down girl gone head get down

get down girl gone head get down

get down girl gone head

(lemme hear dat bak)
