[Chorus x4]

I gonna make
I'm gonna make my money (money)

From the time that I was only seventeen
I knew I loved to write, I knew I loved to sing, I've seen
I've seen about my friends and all the gangsta things we did, we did
Back in those days there was some who always said
You'll never make it no, you'll never get ahead of time
I guess I'm going for mine, contrary to what they said and I did
this is just to let you know

[Chorus x4]

I gonna make
I'm gonna make my money (money)

No matter what they say to me, I'm gonna make my money
And anyone who don't believe, best stay away from me
Been on a mash for currency, since 1993
There ain't no way you stopping me
I'm determined as I can be
And if my funds get low again one thing I can guarantee
you catch me by the corner store sellin badass bags of weed
Not because I think it's cool, or because I think it's neat
It boils down to one simple fact, me and mines have got to eat

[Chorus x4]

I gonna make
I'm gonna make my money (money)

[x4]

Tell me have you ever heard G-Funk
Tell me have you ever heard

Nate Dogg and Warren G had to regulate

[repeats through chorus]

Tell me have you ever heard G-Funk
Tell me have you ever heard

[Chorus x4]

I gonna make
I'm gonna make my money (money)
