[Intro]
It’s not your money she wants
Uh-uh, listen
It’s that S.A.L.A.R.Y., baby
Yeah
[Chorus]
It’s not your money she wants
She want that S.A.L.A.R.Y.
Security, Attention
Love and Affection
Respect, and the Y is You, don’t lie
(It’s not your money she wants)
She spelling it out real clear
Security, Attention
Love and Affection
Respect, and the Y is You right here
[Verse 1]
She got her own bag, own bills paid
Phone full of offers that she downgrade
’Cause she want proof, not flex on the page
Show up when it’s calm, show up in the rage
Security, can you be that wall?
Stand front line when her fears call
Keep her name clean when they throw dirt
Hold her hand firm when the world hurt
Attention, not just when she dressed
Check on her mind, not just her chest
Remember that text that you never sent?
That “how was your day?” that was heaven-sent
Love, not lust on a late-night scroll
That slow dance talk that can heal her soul
Affection in public, no secret life
Kiss on her cheek like “you my wife”
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Respect, say it with your chest
Don’t raise your voice, raise trust instead
Listen when she speak, don’t cut that off
Stand on your word, don’t play, don’t scoff
Respect her grind, her past, her plan
Her “I ain’t today” and her “yes I can”
Don’t play small when she thinking big
Be the root when she plant that fig
And You? that’s the letter they miss
The real you, not the cap for the pics
The you that’s scared, but you still stay close
The you that pray for her when it’s gross
Take that mask off, drop that act
Be soft, be real, that’s big-boy facts
She don’t chase chains, she don’t chase fame
She want first name, last name, same
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Spell it out, yeah, say it with your chest now
S to the A, she can’t settle for less now
L-A, make her feel that safe lane
R-Y, that’s you in the main frame
[whispered vocals] It’s not your money she wants
She want that whole heart, whole life, whole front
[Chorus]
