Get ya Money
August Alsina Feat. Fabolous Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As I lay me down too sleep
I pray to lord my soul too keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray to lord my soul to take

My cup full I'm laid back, I'm bout mine you know that
I'm rag racing, zoom zoom, in a rush too get all that
Cross my heart, I die hard, come through your hood in all black
If you real you'd recognize

All I do is grind and pray, riding through the streets all day
All I do is grind and pray, riding through these streets all day

They don't ever see you like I do
First thing when you wake up, before you put on your make up
And they don't really know you like I do
'Cause me and you ain't the same, you ain't gotta run no game
Girl cause what you do and what I do ain't different
We both on a mission, I love your ambition
And I know how it is to hit the block and get the gwop
And you know what it is to hit the stage and make it pop
Like damm I hope somebody spent some money today
And I pray nobody try to come and take it away
'Cause I'm just out here doing what I gotta do
'Cause all these fucking bills are due
And I see all this money too make, so girl you know

I ain't judging you, go and get your money
Go and get your money, go and get your money
Baby, I salute, go and get your money
Go and get your money, go and get your money
Take that money girl it's yours
Spend that money girl it's yours
You work hard for it, it's yours
Work that body baby it's yours
I ain't judging you, go and get your money
Go and get your money, go and get your money

Single mother in college, working hard for them dollars
Girl we got something in common, making money with ballers
See you pussy popping at Onyx, keep it clapping at Magic
Got them niggas tricking at Palace
Come on making this happen
Girl I love seeing your back bend, they cashing out
And you cash in, they going broke and you working
Back broke when you twerking
I know how hard this shit can be, when income is uncertain
Hustling just too make a way, know you're thinking damn I hope
Somebody spent some money today
And I pray nobody try to come and take it away
'Cause I'm just out here doing what I gotta do
'Cause all these fucking bills are due
And I see all this money too make, so girl you know

I ain't judging you, go and get your money
Go and get your money, go and get your money
Baby, I salute, go and get your money
Go and get your money, go and get your money
That money girl it's yours
Spend that money girl it's yours
You work hard for it, it's yours
Work that body baby it's yours
I ain't judging you, go and get your money
Go and get your money, go and get your money

We grind together, we shine together
Show the single folks how to double
Two wrongs don't make it right
But two strong's make a power couple
And our trouble is small talkers
Talking down on the big spenders
But the winners focus on the win
And sore losers focus on the winners
Stacked up shawty, stacked up shawty
And if I ever need it, she the back up for me
Blacked up foree, his and hers 'cedes
No hoes to the house, just the first lady
So gon' get your money, don't let nobody stop that
Even if you gotta pop that (that body baby it's yours)
We do it big, an no together we about to do it bigger
My little mama hustle harder than a lot of these niggas

I ain't judging you, go and get your money
Go and get your money, go and get your money
Baby, I salute, go and get your money
Go and get your money, go and get your money
Make that money girl it's yours
Spend that money girl it's yours
You work hard for it, it's yours
Work that body baby it's yours




I ain't judging you, go and get your money
Go and get your money, go and get your money

Overall Meaning

The song “Get Ya Money” by August Alsina feat. Fabolous is a motivational anthem dedicated to hustlers and hard workers who are determined to make ends meet, whether it’s through the traditional 9-to-5 grind or alternative means. The lyrics start with a prayer that the Lord will keep the singer if he dies in his sleep. The chorus is a repetition of the idea that all he does is grind and pray, riding through the streets all day. He recognizes that not everyone sees the world the way he does, but he’s unapologetically pursuing his dreams and hopes that others do the same. The chorus gives a nod to all hustlers and encourages them to go and get their money without any judgment. The verses are filled with observations of women who are also out to hustle and make ends meet, and the rapper encourages them to keep doing what they’re doing, no matter how anyone perceives them.


The verses reveal some interesting insights. The first verse talks about the singer’s hustle in life; he’s always in a hurry to get what he wants, but he doesn’t shy away from hard work. He identifies himself as a die-hard who wears all black too, effectively communicating his grit and determination. The second verse is about the singer’s understanding of the female grind. He empathizes with a single mother in college, emphasizing that both of them are making money with ballers, and they’ve got something in common. The rapper then encourages her to go to popular strip clubs like Onyx and Magic and keep the money coming by doing what she does best.
