Verse 1 yeah is your boy Danny on the beat
Mama said, “Boy, keep your head straight”
World cold, yeah, I learned that the hard way
Dreams heavy, but my pocket feeling lightweight
Same road, different faces, same dark days
Friends switch when the money get involved
Trust fade quicker than the writing on the wall
I been down, I been broke, I had to crawl
Now I’m standing tall, I hear the money calling
Every night I pray I make it out alive
Temptation talking loud, tryna change my mind
No sleep, I been chasing what is mine
If it’s me or the streets, I choose my grind
Pre-Chorus
Sirens in the distance, heart racing
Life fast, no pausing, no replacing
They say “slow down,” but I can’t delay it
If I don’t move now, I might never make it
Chorus
Everybody got a gun for the money
Ready to shoot down dreams for the money
Smile fake, but they hungry for the money
Same blood, turn enemy for the money
I ain’t pulling triggers, I’m running my race
Trying to feed my people, put food on the plate
In a world where love get traded for the money
Yeah, everybody got a gun for the money
Verse 2
I seen brothers fall over paper and pride
Seen loyalty die, yeah, right in my sight
Same ones yelling “family” in the light
Disappear quick when it’s dark at night
Pressure on my chest, but I still breathe
Had to cut some people off just to believe
If I fail, I fail alone, that’s me
But if I win, I’m bringing everybody with me
Gold chains shining, but the soul still poor
Money talk loud, but peace talk more
I don’t want war, I just want a way
To make it out clean, see another day
Pre-Chorus
Every move I make, yeah, they watching
Counting my steps, steady plotting
I stay low, mind sharp like a blade
‘Cause the streets don’t love, they only take
Chorus
Everybody got a gun for the money
Ready to shoot down dreams for the money
Smile fake, but they hungry for the money
Same blood, turn enemy for the money
I ain’t pulling triggers, I’m running my race
Trying to feed my people, put food on the plate
In a world where love get traded for the money
Yeah, everybody got a gun for the money
Bridge
If I make it to the top, I won’t forget
All the nights I cried, all the sweat
If I lose it all, I still got my name
Can’t let the money be the reason I change
Outro / Chorus (soft)
Everybody got a gun for the money
But I’m aiming for peace, not blood for the money
If I shine, let it be for my people
Not another soul lost for the money
