[Intro: Asher Roth]
Yeah

[Verse 1: Asher Roth]
These dollar signs are blindin', kind of ironic
More money more problems, that was honest
It's personas define us and cause violence
Small riots for products, there's no solace
While the TV plugs prescription drugs and feed us sludge
Survivors are seen as thugs for flippin' some bud
Just trying to keep their head up above, rushin' water
Get up out the mud, bleedin' and mugged but
Can't afford what they sellin' it for
Health insurance ain't helpin' the poor, they yellin' for more
Check the score if you tore it in sport
No retort if it happened before, grab the liquor

[Chorus: Joyce Wrice]
We don't really need it just to have a good time
But gotta get that money so that we can stay alive
Gotta get that money, gotta get that money
Gotta get that money, gotta get that money (Let's get rich boy)

[Verse 2: Asher Roth]
So of course loanin' stacks to teens
Packed with fees like they gon' pay it back with ease
Tacking 15% on to that, you're fleeced
Cause dad's already financed a lease
And the mortgage needs more shifts
40 more ticks on the clock in the store gets sorta morbid
Forfeit, any fortune, only course is record and go on tour and
Get endorsements sure
But the chances are slim, one in million
More like one in a trill, that's why they're dealin' in
Utilities, fossil fuels, electricity
You rappin' fools better not miss a beat
I wonder if they even read 'bout private prisons, illicit speech
See the Gs watchin' the green increase, you greedy thieves

[Pre-Chorus: Joyce Wrice]
This is it boy, Lets get rich boy
This is it boy, Lets get rich boy(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
This is it boy, Lets get rich boy(We don't)
Lets get rich boy

[Chorus: Joyce Wrice]
We don't really need it just to have a good time
But gotta get that money so that we can stay alive
Gotta get that money, gotta get that money
Gotta get that money, gotta get that money
We don't really need it just to have a good time
But gotta get that money so that we can stay alive
Gotta get that money, gotta get that money
Gotta get that money, gotta get that money

[Outro: Asher Roth & Joyce Wrice]
We don't need it, but you gotta get it
We don't need it, but you gotta get it

Hailing from Morrisville, PA, Asher Roth burst onto the mainstream scene in 2009 with the hit “I Love College”. Asher was far from an overnight sensation though; throughout his college years at West Chester University he built a solid fanbase taking advantage of MySpace and Facebook.

In 2006 Asher dropped Believe The Hype, the project that would get him a record deal with Universal Music Group. He continued to build buzz for himself with 2008’s The Greenhouse Effect Vol 1, a well-received mixtape hosted by Don Cannon and DJ Drama. The following year Asher would release his debut album Asleep in the Bread Aisle, featuring the hit single “I Love College”.
