Lyrics For Money calling By Nadia Nakai Ft Frank Casino
Verse 1:
I pray I live to see another day
See my dawgs getting paid
Oh, Lord give me way

Look, I’m not here to come praise these models
I pray for gwana that’s my business model

I’m destined for way that’s the calling
Presidential when I move

Bad boy me and smoov
Babylon call me rude, yeah
Looking for — watch the tables turn
I’m on fire let the bridges burn
Let’s discern about your concern
Nothing is given menh it’s so —
Unlock it, pour it, sip it, enjoy it…
Lock it, stash it, grab it, pour it
Unlock it pour it sip it
enjoy it lock it ice it
grab it pour it lock it
sip sip….
