During the choir, Akon sings, "Look, I'm telling you, like Wu is telling me, Cash organizes everything, around me." These are actually two layered references, the first for the Wu-Tang Clan, which produces a song titled "C.R.E.A.M." for the 1993 album Enter Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) . Akon also took samples of "dolla ', dolla' bills, all of you" chorus chants "C.R.E.A.M.". The second reference is "Notorious Thugs", a song performed by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and Notorious B.I.G., where B.I.G. raps, "I'll tell you like a nigga tells me, Cash organizes everything around me," which is a reference to the original Wu Tang song. In addition, in the second stanza of the song, Akon knocks "They make them object to their money, the money they have in their minds, they get their fingers on the trigger, hands on their nine". This is a reference to the temple of Tupac Shakur in the song MC Breed "Gotta Get Mine" in which Shakur knocks "I save my mind on my money, money in mind, finger on trigger, nigga hands on my nine."
