Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] They say it can't buy love, can't buy peace But I’ve seen broken hearts healed on designer seats They preach it’s just paper, but let’s be real That paper pays the rent, that paper pays the meals Tired of these quotes from folks who got enough Telling me to chase dreams when dreams don't fill my cup Smiling through the struggle, yeah that’s cute But empty pockets got me questioning the truth [Pre-Chorus] I ain’t saying it’s the key to every door But when you’re broke, every lock feels like war They talk like it’s the root of all evil But I seen it lift the weight off people [Chorus] Money ain't everything, but damn it feels like half It don’t fix your soul, but it'll clear your path Tell me who don't want it, who don't need the stack? We all chase the paper, that's a simple fact Money ain't everything, but damn, it helps a lot It won't cure your pain, but it'll soften the shot I ain't blind to love, I ain't blind to hope But I need the bills just to cope [Verse 2] Seen folks smiling wide, new chains, new ride But behind closed doors, they still cry at night Yeah, money can't erase the scars you hide But it sure makes the medicine easier to buy They judge when you grind, say you're chasing greed But they never walked a mile with that desperate need Tryna tell me patience is a better plan But I’ve seen depression fade with them bands [Pre-Chorus] I ain’t saying it’s the cure for your heart But it’s hard to heal when you’re torn apart They call it shallow, say it won’t last But I seen empty wallets break love fast [Chorus] Money ain't everything, but damn it feels like half It don’t fix your soul, but it'll clear your path Tell me who don't want it, who don't need the stack? We all chase the paper, that's a simple fact Money ain't everything, but damn, it helps a lot It won't cure your pain, but it'll soften the shot I ain't blind to love, I ain't blind to hope But I need the bills just to cope [Bridge] Can't buy the time we lost Can't pay to rewind the clock But bills don’t wait for dreams And stress don’t care what love means [Chorus – Breakdown] Money ain't everything, but damn it feels like half We all want the comfort, we all want the cash Ain’t no shame in the hustle, ain’t no shame in the grind If it buys a little peace of mind [Outro] They say money isn't everything... But when you're broke, it's all you think So I’ll chase it ‘til I’m free Judge me, but I need that green
