Lafa explains the idea of the song right in the intro:
“So I got this idea for this song
I’m going to use rhyming words like ‘associated’ and ‘uh so she ate it’

(Intro)
So I got this idea for this song
I'm going to use rhyming words like 'associated' and 'uh so she ate it'
It's like I'm saying different thi...I'm saying that...I'm using the same words...
It sounds like I'm using the same words, but they have different meanings
Does that make any sense?
Hey when you roll up in my ride man leave the a/c alone
And best not be talking shit about me bumpin' Aceyalone
And if you burn my CD I ain't gon get all butt hurt about it
'Cause most of y'all ain't actually heard it but heard about it
'Sides I'd rather let you share it so someone could listen to it
Really it's cool for me to just know that someone cool is into it
On the reez though, you should pay for it because I need dough
So I can quit my job at Pizza Hut where I knead dough
"Hello?"
"Hey yo what up man this is Gene!"
"Hey yo you caught me at a bad time, can I get back to you Gene?"
"Yeah watchu doin' ?"
"I'm up in Portland workin' on a song, I'm actually in the booth right now, but I'll hit you up when I get back to Eugene
How's life though?"
"I'm doin' alright bro, it's all swell"
"Nice man, ima split, but I'm glad to hear that all is well"
It's Lafa Taylor here to lead you if you gimme ya hand
So if you feel it gimme a hand (help) and gimme a hand (clap) damn
One day ima be rich and ima roll in dough
And use hundred dollar bills to roll indo
I'll have a bio diesel Benz that I'm rollin'
Though for now I'm at the pizza parlor rollin' dough (repeat)
I know this girl, (woo!) she has a butt like J-Lo
And when she dance she make it shake like Jello
"Hey bro where is she from?", "I don't know I'll ask her -
Hey girly where are you from?"
"I'm from Alaska"
"Alaska, oh are you from Juneau?"
"No but I go down there a lot to visit, you know"
She was beautiful, and I really wanted to touch her, but
I thought she'd think I was weird if I just asked to touch her butt
So I said "when I look across this room you catch my eye when I browse"
Followed by, in addition, "I think you have very nice eyebrows!"
By now, I'm sure she's thinkin' I'm a weirdo
But some girls tend to really like those guys that are weird though
So I said "lemme play this game of craps then ima take you to paradise
'Cause I'm about to win a million dollars with this pair of dice
Besides, girl we should be associated"
Fed her the cheesy pick up line but, "I'm a playa" so she ate it, yo
One day ima be rich and ima roll in dough
And use hundred dollar bills to roll indo
I'll have a bio diesel Benz that I'm rollin'
Though for now I'm at the pizza parlor rollin' dough (repeat)
I was at my vegan DJ's house; he was try'na cook a plate of beets
I was like leave the cookin' to me man, you can just play da beats
'Cause he was try'na cook some tofu last time I was there but he made a mistake
So I convinced him to eat meat and my buddy made him a steak
And I ain't a big fan of most of these punch line MCs
Though sometimes I get fed up and I wanna punch lying MCs
Talking bout, "my shit is lethal yo, I got poisonous rhymes"
I might have even wanted to work with him if he had poise in his rhymes
But instead he talks about pimpin' bitches, pullin' gats and punkin' fools and pullin' drive bys in a suburban with his boys in his rhymes
That shit is not sick, he's thinkin' his talk's sick
But at best it compares to like, Britney Spears' Toxic and I'm like
The last thing in the universe I would wanna do is put you in a verse
Because people hear my shit and say "wow isn't that dope!"
Then people hear your shit and say "that isn't that dope!"
One day ima be rich and ima roll in dough
And use hundred dollar bills to roll indo
I'll have a bio diesel Benz that I'm rollin'
Though for now I'm at the pizza parlor rollin' dough (repeat)
A, aa, a I said um who's sane? Obviously not Saddam Hussein
We told facts of the attacks but the press didn't care
So now I'm wonderin' how to make our President care
And I love free speech but they're takin' our right away
And givin' cops the right of way
We need to change it right away
And I hope for the best but it's hard to have faith
So at times I meditate and I blaze a half eighth
And I wear a disguise when I talk to these guys
That are trying to take away all the air from the skies
Plus we got Clear Channel controlling the industry
So I press my own CD and I sell the shit in da street
While elites drink champagne they pour us shit
Leavin' us in the gutter feelin' poor as shit
Just because I'm African-American
Don't mean I shouldn't be treated like a freakin' American
Do you feel me? but...
One day ima be rich and ima roll in dough
And use hundred dollar bills to roll indo
I'll have a bio diesel Benz that I'm rollin'
Though for now I'm at the pizza parlor rollin' dough (repeat)
