[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
