[Intro]
Seat buckled
Heart humbled
Engine growlin'
Angels mumble (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Used to count change in the back of the bus
Now the dash say "ready" when it lightin' up
White smoke from the tires when I ease that clutch
Still pray before I floor it, I done seen too much
Chrome pipes sing loud on the interstate
But my soul stay quiet when I meditate
Got tags on the whip, got tags on my plate
But my name in a book that a bank can't fake (uh)
Hundred on the dash, that's a two-second thought
Hundred in the stash, that's a two-year plot
They chase quick fame, they just want that shot
I want rent paid up for my momma on the spot
Leather-seat view, but I came from the plastic
Holes in my shoes, now the kicks look drastic
Neighbors say, "wow," like it all was magic
They ain't see late fees, overdraft, madness
[Chorus]
Life and money, they both chase me
Heaven on the dash when the road get crazy
Fire in the pipes, but my mind stay lazy
Slow it down, slow it down, don't let it phase me
Life and money, which one love me?
If the tank on full but my heart feel ugly
I'ma choose peace over lookin' all lovely
Hands on the wheel, let the Most High run me
[Verse 2]
Pulled up, twin pipes, front grill look mean
Neighbors kids starin' like it's straight from a dream
High-vis jacket, matte black machine
But I’m thinkin’ ‘bout a will, not a meme on a screen (real)
Got a chain on my neck, still feel that weight
Not the gold, I'm talkin' 'bout the fam I raise
Got mouths to feed, got vows I made
Can't flex in the ‘Gram then be broke in the shade (nah)
I seen rich men die with a froze-up heart
And a broke boy smile in a one-room spot
So when the money talk wild, I just park that car
Ask, "If I lose this all, who I really are?"
Sun hit the paint, lookin' heaven-sent blue
But the sky stay bigger than the roof I cruise
I ride for my people, not likes, not views
If the cost is my soul then that price too huge (yeah)
[Chorus]
Life and money, they both chase me
Heaven on the dash when the road get crazy
Fire in the pipes, but my mind stay lazy
Slow it down, slow it down, don't let it phase me
Life and money, which one love me?
If the tank on full but my heart feel ugly
I'ma choose peace over lookin' all lovely
Hands on the wheel, let the Most High run me
[Bridge]
Redline screamin'
But my heart say "breathe"
Got a full tank gleamin'
Still a void I see
So I ride, ride steady
[whispered vocals] "Keep your heart ready"
If the cash come heavy
Let the soul stay free
[Chorus]
