[Intro: Charlamagne Tha God]

A wise man told me the first step towards change is awareness, the second step is acceptance

Are you aware of the changes that are happening around you? Are you willing to accept the change that is upon us?

[Chorus: Tink & Charlamagne Tha God]

Cash rules everything around me

Tell them broke boys get the fuck from 'round me

Once it comes it comes, when it leaves it leaves

You ain't 'bout that life, you can't roll with me, no no

Time for a shift, a metamorphosis, a modification, a difference

Once it comes it comes, when it leaves it leaves

You ain't 'bout that life, you can't roll with me, no

[Verse 1: Tink]

Money talks and these bitches is mighty quiet

I hear these niggas woofing, I kill 'em with dead silence

I could reply but there's really no need for payback

My papers just as long as the legroom inside the Maybach

They hate it

Won't find me in no club unless I'm gon' be compensated

Spot right on the beach so when I'm home I'm on vacation

Fuck you doing? Why you never happy?

If that man ain't get the check then that nigga just don't attract me

I'm more into the ballers, don't look at me like I'm Draya

I spend it and I waste it, it's plenty more left for later

These boys can't hang with my clique

You know I keep a bankroll, that won't fold, the same size as they dick

I'm in a playful ass mood, you gotta pay for this ride

I make a scene and when I leave, I make 'em stand like the bride

Let's get these rappers on the alter, better pray while they can

I'm comin' heavy as a pound, these niggas still on the gram

I get a kick out of doin' business and living life

You getta' kick outta fuckin' bitches with hella' likes

[Pre-Chorus: Tink]

We in a different state of mind

I ain't never heard the word declined

All I think about is time

I need it around the clock

I need it around the clock

[Chorus: Charlamagne tha God & Tink]

I want you to think, Tink (I need it, I need it—)

If you not thinking Tink then I'ma say you not thinking (I need it 'round the clock)

And If you not thinking Tink, then I don't wanna know what you thinking because there's nothing else worth thinking about (I need it 'round the clock)

Life doesn't get better by chance (I need it—), it get's better by change (I need it, I need it 'round the clock)

[Verse 2: Tink]

I don't give a fuck about no gossip, they whispering who's better

Man I'm at these niggas' throats, and that shit goes for whoever

I'm hoping you get it twisted, don't care if you feel offended

I know that you heard my name, I'm just waiting for you to diss it, oh yes

I'ma blow right at your top, John Kennedy

Nothin' I hate more than a nigga with bitch tendencies

That's like ninety-nine precent of y'all

I tell these niggas bow their heads like I was rappin' out the synagogue

Yahweh, pockets on grande

Make him put his face next to my waist and he got down like my fiancée

Shit was 'bout an hour

I need a nigga with some power, movin' forward, Dwight Howard

That's the party, we rollin' like a Harley

I showed up with them bands so every nigga in this club came tardy

[Chorus: Tink & Charlamagne tha God]

We in a different state of mind

I ain't never heard the word declined

All I think about is time

I need it around the clock

I need it around the clock

That change that make your life better is here

Time for a shift

Tink, spit that ghetto gospel!

[Outro: Tink]

Cash rules everything around me

Tell them broke boys get the fuck from 'round me

Once it comes it comes, when it leaves it leaves

You ain't 'bout that life, you can't roll with me, no no

Cash rules everything around me

It's like he knows I'ma be nothin' without it

Once it comes it comes, when it leaves it leaves

You ain't 'bout that life, you can't roll with me, nono

No, no, no

I need it around the clock

I need it

I need it around the clock
