Wu-Tang Clan – C.R.E.A.M. (Official HD Video)
[Chorus: Method Man]
Cash rules everything around me
C.R.E.A.M., get the money
Dollar, dollar bill, y’all
Cash rules everything around me
C.R.E.A.M., get the money
Dollar, dollar bill, y’all
One of the most referenced and quoted hooks in the history of hip hop (perhaps THE most referenced), and in music history in general.
Method Man is not glorifying money and excess; rather, he’s saying that money holds power, and is a factor of major decisions made in the world he lives in. Those who have it, have power and those who don’t, won’t get up anywhere; sort of a way of saying the “love of money is the root of all evil” phrase from 1 Timothy 6:10 in the Bible, if you will.
From Akon to Method Man’s friend Biggie, as well as countless others, this line has been heard just about everywhere, albeit sometimes misinterpreted.
The “dollar, dollar bill y’all” verse might have been taken from a 1983 Jimmy Spicer’s song “Money (Dollar Bill Ya’ll)”.

My approach to life has been to find order in chaos
I think of myself as the sun at the center of the universe
And in my solar system, I’m surrounded by distractions
All that shit is just planets, asteroids, and comets
Spinning around me or flying past me
Think of the thing in you life that stifles progress or heightens your anxiety
Observe what crashes into your orbit: noise, work drama, negativity
See them all as little planets, asteroids spiraling towards you
They feel like they have an impact, but remember, you are the sun
You have the power to put all that peripheral shit on notice
