Ima Robot – Greenback Boogie Lyrics 13 years ago
I'm going with somebody doing illegal stuff, maybe like working with mobsters to make some money and get rich fast.

"See the money wanna stay
For your meal
Get another piece of pie
For your wife"

Sounds to me like someone working under the table, doing illegal things, like maybe with the mob for "a piece of the pie." "See the money wanna stay": He sees how good the money is and doesn't want to leave. He makes sure he shares the wealth, stays long enough so his wife also gets "a piece of the pie."


"Everybody wanna know
How it feel
Everybody wanna see
What it's like"

Everyone wants to know how it feels to be rich, everyone wants a taste of wealth.


"For baby wanna be a queen
Well alright
We all deserve the finer things
In this life"

Wife wants to be treated like a queen perhaps? He's justifying what he's doing for money because he's saying his wife, himself, maybe family and friends deserve the fineries in life.


"So working on a little job
In the night
That's forty dollars an hour when I
See the light

The boss said I look tired
I don't mind
He'll be working in a small box
'Til he die"

Boss says he looks tired during his day job because this guy's working hard, pulling in greenbacks (slang for money) during the night. Illegal activity. But he doesn't care what his boss says, his boss will just be working at the same cubicle office job for the rest of his life.


"For me I gotta be free
All my life
I want a little cream cheese
In my pie"

Wants more than he has. Not just the pie, he wants to add more flavor to his life. Maybe now he's in over his head. Wealth is getting to him.


"Now puttin' on a big wig
Walkin' hall
Hanging with them big pigs
Huff and toss"


Being fancy and hanging with the big guys now (I'm going with mobsters) Not sure of the slang meaning of "huff and toss."



"Got me a couple ideas straight from God
I want a bean pie
Order me a bean pie
I'll even eat a bean pie
I don't mind
Me and Missy is so early busy busy makin' money"

Not too sure about what this means.

Anybody else have ideas? Interpretations? I'd love some help on this one.
