[Verse 1]
Life hit hard, I took the long road
Hands full of work, back bent, soul cold
Bills on the counter, pain in the air
Kids need answers, but the truth ain't fair
Money on my mind, every day, every night
Crowded with the smoke and the bottle light
Friends change quick when the luck run thin
I seen love fold where the lies walk in
[Pre-Chorus]
Still I rise, still I move
One more step, one more proof
Hearts break, but I don't fold
I want my name in gold
[Chorus]
Money on the table
Money on the table
I been through the fire
Still I want more
Money on the table
Money on the table
Best in the mirror
Feet on the floor
[Verse 2]
Broken family, dinner with the silence
Mama in tears, trying to fight the violence
Papa gone distant, never said enough
Now I keep my word when the world get rough
Loyalty real till the room go dark
Lies show teeth when they miss that mark
Drugs in the corner, alcohol in the cup
I watch good souls when the pressure eat up
Depression on my chest, but I lace my shoes
Every loss I took, I turned to fuel
I ain't chasing perfect, I am chasing true
If I fall ten times, I get up new
[Pre-Chorus]
Still I rise, still I move
One more step, one more proof
Hearts break, but I don't fold
I want my name in gold
[Chorus]
Money on the table
Money on the table
I been through the fire
Still I want more
Money on the table
Money on the table
Best in the mirror
Feet on the floor
[Bridge]
I seen the bottom, I know that seat
I know the nights that don't let sleep
But every scar wrote part of me
Now I build my life carefully
No fake love, no borrowed crown
I been low, now I build up now
For the ones who stayed when it hurt to stay
I turn that pain into a paid way
[Chorus]
Money on the table
Money on the table
I been through the fire
Still I want more
Money on the table
Money on the table
Best in the mirror
Feet on the floor
