GNU Core Utilities

The GNU Core Utilities or coreutils is a package of GNU software containing reimplementations for many of the basic tools, such as cat, ls, and rm, used on Unix-like operating systems. It is a combination of a number of earlier packages, including textutils, shellutils, and fileutils, along with some other miscellaneous utilities.

GNU coreutils capabilities

The GNU core utilities support long options as parameters to the commands, as well as (unless the POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable is set) the relaxed convention allowing options even after the regular arguments. Note that this environment variable enables a different functionality in BSD.

    Money On The Floor (remix)

    by: Corte Ellis

    [Intro: Corté Ellis]
    Stuntin like a muh'fucker
    I be I be I be, I be on that on that (Slaughterhouse!)
    On that on that on that on that
    [Crooked I (Corté):]
    Yo, million dollar +Playboy+, bunny ears and all
    The reason for the long ears, money hears it all
    She say "I love you papa, " then I grab my chopper
    Tell her pull over to box the lights, honey here's the mall
    (Money on the floor) I tear it down wall-to-wall
    If I'm not spendin Kobe paper at least I'm Pau Gasol
    I spend to live lavish, I get to the cabbage
    I'm sicker than average, I'll give your chick my stimulus package, uhh
    [Corté Ellis:]
    I got a lot of cars, got a lot of jewels
    Spend a lot of money women say I act a fool
    When I'm in the club, bottles in my hand
    Stuntin like a (muh'fucker) watch me do my do my do my (dance)
    Is this your girl? Cause homie if it is
    Get her from my table cause you know what it is
    I'm tryin to get her home, when she done with that Patrón
    She don't pick up the phone, then you know what's goings on
    She lookin at my watch, and not just for the time
    Attracted to the shine, she attracted to the grind
    I'm 'bout to make her mine, then get up in her mind
    Then get up in her spine, man she better recognize I got
    [Chorus x2: Corté Ellis]
    (Got) Money on the floor (got) money on the floor
    (Got) Money on the floor (got) money on the floor
    (Got) Money on the floor (got) money on the floor
    You get that girl? I get that girl; you get that girl? I get that girl
    [Joe Budden]
    Okay, uhh, get this paper, uhh
    Look, look look; she told me she couldn't help it
    So then it's a overload maybe somethin you gon' need help with
    Like soon as we weld it (ohh)
    Heated up, melt it (or) beat it up, welt it
    When she scream that she never felt it I knew it's a job I well did
    I ain't on no wealth shit but the V is like a stealth shit
    (Or) Or aircraft, my share cash got her near fast
    Way she wear that, I threw the dough in the air
    Enough to keep you off that blow for a year, let's get it clear
    Joey!
    [Chorus: w/ ad libs]
    [Royce Da 5'9":]
    Nickel (woo!)
    Nickel-Nine I'm so ghetto, fo', metal
    Walk around on money like I'm Akeem and them dollars is rose petals
    And I keep that dough handy - that sweet smell of money
    I sniff it, I get high, I call it nose candy
    Mama take a flick – 20 thousand on me
    Every G that's in my pocket separated by a paper clip
    Every G that's with me separated by a AK clip
    We 'bout that white, okay-K-K
    Step back, my niggaz throwin
    [Chorus: w/ ad libs]
    [Joell Ortiz:]
    Uhh, first it starts in my pockets in thick rubber bands
    Then it makes it's way to the bar next to my cup of Grand
    Marnier, wish it would stay there but it can't parlay
    When it sees a runway, it takes flight, and lands by they lingerie
    Especially when they body's sweet like, crème brûlée
    And that booty puts they thong away
    I'm havin fun, all you haters can keep lookin
    Matter fact, don't keep on lookin, I'm from Brooklyn
    We gon' end up puttin money on the flo'
    [Chorus: w/ ad libs]
    [Corté Ellis:]
    Now what I'm 'posed to do, with all this money
    Ridin in a spaceship, they look at me funny
    Donald Trump money, that Bill Gates money
    Warren Buffett money, can't take nuttin from me
    Now what I'm 'posed to do, with all this money
    Ridin in a spaceship, they look at me funny
    Donald Trump money, that Bill Gates money
