|
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. |
