Lyrics

You know this ain't a game to us
 My future's lookin' promisin'
 Problem with my mom again, troublin'
 Money think it's runnin' things
 When no income isn't comin' in
 Runnin' with the wrong again
 Gone again, money
 I keep sendin' cash demeanor (got it) workin' for it meaner
 Puts a hurtin' on a senior, have to curtain, cook and pee on
 Did I stutter? It's root of all boo, all you loyal to it, useless
 Bruise tryna do vocal, lose no one
 I still pull him out the grave, tryna play chap, okay
 Dust him off, nobody's touchin' us and rush him off
 Loose lips, Rick dances with Wolf Kid, elusive
 Arrange is the new black, I move past
 Like dress me like some baby George Clinton, what's he thinkin'?
 Stackin' the deck, ain't attractin' a chick, ain't backin' up shit
 Control money, don't let it show money
 Soul money, never let it go from me cold, homie
 Suede linen, old decay
 Prey when I'm A in 'em, stay with 'em, told to play ageism
 Variety makes good society, I said this
 Respect kid, excessive makes me question my ethics
 Though cash has no moral comp, showin' some, flowin' don
 Know it's wrong, throw it from, showin' some, home sweet home
 Like some nuisance in my wallet
 I'm on top and nurturing the loose change in my pocket
 You know this ain't a game to us
 Money (money)
 Money thinks
 Money versus everybody, money isn't everythin'
 That's cap, and I put that on everythin'
 I don't look back, I never blink
 I'm at the bank, I'm thinkin' 'bout the fact how I don't have to think
 About a way to rob the bank, I fuck around and buy the bank
 Dollar bill, dollar bill, water bill, power bill
 Power struggles, power moves and power drills 'cause I reveal
 I gotta ball, gotta plot, got a wall full of clocks
 Still ain't got no time to kill, got on a watch, the diamonds real
 Money make the world go round, money racin' hurdles now
 Take the drapes, the curtains down
 Don't money make the perfect clouds?
 Money counter go brr, money make the perfect sound
 And the chopper go brrrrr, okay, they hear me now
 Lookin' like a pile of money, that hoe face first in the pile
 This that Tunechi and Preemo, we connect like a magnet
 And we grew to Magneto, like the root of all evil, money
 My future's lookin' promisin'
 Problem with my mom again, troublin'
 Money think it's runnin' things
 When no income isn't comin' in
 Runnin' with the wrong again
 Gone again, money
 When ponderin' a con again
 Morality in front of when or once again
 Money thinks it's runnin' things
 See you got a honey, young and thin
 Buy they honey ton of things, flatterin'
 Money
