Money Talks In The Dark

[Verse 1]
Used to count change in the backseat
Cold floor
Thin sheet
Couldn’t sleep
Hand-me-down dreams
They ain’t fit me
So I stitched my own plan
Made it risky
Empty fridge light
Humming like a threat
Had to flip time
Turn every “no” to a bet
Now my phone ring once
That’s a green light
Turn broke days into numbers in the moonlight
[Chorus]
I was broke
Now money talks
It call my name (yeah)
From the bottom of the city to the private lane
Every scar on my body worth more than chains
‘Cause I rose from the dirt
Now I’m making bands from the pain
Money talks
Money talks
I just listen close
Turn a little to a lot
That’s the life I chose (uh)
Got some loyal ones with me
Yeah
They stayed through the rain
Now we all leveled up
Making bands from the pain
[Verse 2]
Couch surf
Late shifts
I remember
Fake love disappeared by September
But the ones who stayed
They my day-ones
We share plates
Now we share funds
We don’t flex much
We just stack quiet
Break bread
Plan plays
Then we all try it
If I eat
They eat
That’s the mindset (yeah)
Turned a group chat into a bank check
[Chorus]
I was broke
Now money talks
It call my name (oh yeah)
From the bottom of the city to the private lane
Every scar on my body worth more than chains
‘Cause I rose from the dirt
Now I’m making bands from the pain
Money talks
Money talks
I just listen close
Turn a little to a lot
That’s the life I chose
Got some loyal ones with me
Yeah
They stayed through the rain
Now we all leveled up
Making bands from the pain
[Bridge]
Deep voice
Slow tone in the midnight air
Used to pray for a chance
Now I answer my prayers
Still hungry
Still humble when I count that stack (count that)
‘Cause I know one wrong move takes it all right back
[Chorus]
I was broke
Now money talks
It call my name
From the bottom of the city to the private lane
Every scar on my body worth more than chains
‘Cause I rose from the dirt
Now I’m making bands from the pain
Money talks
Money talks
I just listen close (listen)
Turn a little to a lot
That’s the life I chose
Got my loyal ones with me
Never switching for fame
If you started from the bottom
You can feel this flame

Seductive trap-soul vibe with male vocals; deep sub bass and slow drums, velvety Rhodes keys and distant vocal chops. Verses stay low and intimate, close-mic tone; chorus widens with layered harmonies and filtered ad-libs. Subtle guitar slides and airy pads in the background, late-night mix with thick low-end and glossy top line., beats, beautiful, deep
