She take my money when I'm in need
Yea she's a trifling friend indeed
Oh she's a gold digger way over town
That digs on me
Now I ain't saying she a gold digger
But she ain't messing with no broke niggas
Now I ain't saying she a gold digger
But she ain't messing wit no broke niggas
Get down girl go head get down
Get down girl go head get down
Get down girl go head get down
Get down girl go head
Cutie the bomb
Met her at a beauty salon
With a baby Louis Vuitton
Under her underarm
She said I can tell you ROC
I can tell by ya charm
Far as girls you got a flock
I can tell by ya charm and ya arm
But I'm looking for the one
Have you seen her
My psychic told me she have a ass like Serena
Trina, Jennifer Lopez, four kids
An I gotta take all they bad ass to show-biz
OK get ya kids but then they got their friends
I pulled up in the Benz, they all got up In
We all went to Den and then I had to pay
If you fucking with this girl then you betta be payed
You know why
It take too much to touch her
From what I heard she got a baby by Busta
My best friend say she use to fuck wit Usher
I don't care what none of y'all say I still love her
Now I ain't saying she a gold digger
But she ain't messing with no broke niggas
Now I ain't saying she a gold digger
But she ain't messing wit no broke niggas
Get down girl go head get down
Get down girl go head get down
Get down girl go head get down
Get down girl go head
Eighteen years, eighteen years
She got one of yo kids got you for 18 years
I know somebody paying child support for one of his kids
His baby momma's car and crib is bigger than his
You will see him on TV Any Given Sunday
Win the Superbowl and drive off in a Hyundai
She was spose to buy ya shorty TYCO with ya money
She went to the doctor got lypo with ya money
She walking around looking like Micheal with ya money
Should of got that insured got GEICO for ya money
If you ain't no punk holla We Want Prenup
We want prenup!, yeah
It's something that you need to have
'Cause when she leave yo ass she gone leave with half
Eighteen years, eighteen years
And on her eighteenth birthday he found out it wasn't his
Now I ain't saying she a gold digger
But she ain't messing with no broke niggas
Now I ain't saying she a gold digger
But she ain't messing wit no broke niggas
Get down girl go head get down
Get down girl go head get down
Get down girl go head get down
Get down girl go head
Now I ain't saying you a gold digger you got needs
You don't want ya dude to smoke but he can't buy weed
You got out to eat and he can't pay y'all can't leave
There's dishes in the back, he gotta roll up his sleeves
But why y'all washing watch him
He gone make it into a Benz out of that Datson
He got that ambition baby look in his eyes
This week he mopping floors next week it's the fries
So, stick by his side
I know his dude's balling but yea that's nice
And they gone keep calling and trying
But you stay right girl
But when you get on he leave yo ass for a white girl
Get down girl go head get down
Get down girl go head get down
Get down girl go head get down
Get down girl go head
Yea she's a trifling friend indeed
Oh she's a gold digger way over town
That digs on me
Now I ain't saying she a gold digger
But she ain't messing with no broke niggas
Now I ain't saying she a gold digger
But she ain't messing wit no broke niggas
Get down girl go head get down
Get down girl go head get down
Get down girl go head get down
Get down girl go head

This song is about Kanye's struggle with Hedonistic Existentialism and the Darwinistic struggles that continue even in modern life, and his sadness at how such things are so rampant, so that we are no different from out monkey ancestors, personified in a single girl about whom he is singing.
Starting with the chorus, Kanye talks about how this girl is a "gold digger" (i.e. a materialistic hedonist), and how she "did him wrong" -- an example of his struggle with the amoral views of Existentialism, and how no matter what your world viewpoint is there are some things which should be considered "wrong" to everyone. Furthermore when he talks about "broke niggaz" he is not referring to his fellow African-Americans, but rather taking the original "negroe", coming from the Latin for "black", he is referring to "the void", or in Existential thought the lack of meaning in the universe. The words "but she ain't messin' with..." means that she does not care about that lack of meaning, and honestly believes her hedonistic philosophy is the right one.
The verses pretty much discuss her materialistic views in detail, and her constant struggle to obtain more, which can never be satisfied so long as there is more for her to obtain. The constant references to "babies" and "children" is about the innate desire to reproduce present in all humans, and he is juxtaposing that with the more modern views of hoarding money and possesions, to show that they come from the same source.
The final words "But when you get on he leave yo ass for a white girl" I believe is referring to God, and white being the colour of purity is most probably the Virgin Mary. I believe he is saying that although religon is generally insufficient (I believe I read in an interview script that Kanye said he did not believe in God), compared to the current life that she is leading it is a much better option, and at the end of her life "when you get on", she will have no chance to reconcile or repent, but will have a revelation in her final moments and look back on her life and see it as a complete waste.
I'm honored Kanye
finally wrote a song
about me! hahahahaha!
Also, Cradle of Filth sucks. Get out of here with that shit. What are you, 16?
Because that would be AWESOME. Haha.
I have a real dislike for any kind of RAP, but this song caught my attention. This song is hilarious, particularly the line; "She walking around looking like Micheal with ya money,"
Hilarious.

Ahem,
tsct1990:
you said that rapping requires no talent therefore implying that anyone can do it. Have you evere tried rhyming multiple words per minute while making sure it all makes sense, has good timing and entertains and pleases a audience? I think not.
Also you said that rappers dont make there own beats or write their own lyrics. it is true. some dont some however do, and I guess this is unfortunate for your point. also even if they dont it is still music,
same with your point that orchastral music is not singing. dose this not make it music?
If rapping isnt music what is it?
poems with beats and melodies in the background? ops! isnt that what rock, country, reagae, rythm and blues and basically all genres of music are?
they are poems with beats and melodies in the background!
dose this change because of how long some one holds a note?
oh and Im sorryif i couldnt articulate enough for you. for I have poor iq of 25. pfft.
