Lyrics
[Intro — instrumental only, no vocals] [a cash register ka-chings and the drawer rings open; the beat builds] [Instrumental build — still no singing, let the groove settle in] [Instrumental — the register and the strings carry it alone] [Verse 1 — vocals enter at last] Westside corner with the industrial bones, Bankhead bouncing to the hip-hop tones; ring the register, hear the ka-ching ring, Bankhead cashing in on everything. [Chorus] Bankhead, Bankhead, ring and ching, the register drawer is a cha-ching thing; ka-ching, ka-ching, let the drawer slam shut, the westside hustle in the railroad rut. [Verse 2] The Bankhead Bounce and the dance floor sway, the industrial yards at the end of the day; every ka-ching a beat on the westside line, Bankhead banking on the bounce divine. [Chorus] Bankhead, Bankhead, ring and ching, the register drawer is a cha-ching thing; ka-ching, ka-ching, let the drawer slam shut, the westside hustle in the railroad rut. [Outro — vocals stop here] [Instrumental — the cash register rides out alone, no more singing] [Long instrumental outro — the groove fades slowly all the way down to silence]
