Lyrics

[Verse 1]

They say it can't buy love, can't buy peace

But I’ve seen broken hearts healed on designer seats

They preach it’s just paper, but let’s be real

That paper pays the rent, that paper pays the meals

Tired of these quotes from folks who got enough

Telling me to chase dreams when dreams don't fill my cup

Smiling through the struggle, yeah that’s cute

But empty pockets got me questioning the truth

[Pre-Chorus]

I ain’t saying it’s the key to every door

But when you’re broke, every lock feels like war

They talk like it’s the root of all evil

But I seen it lift the weight off people

[Chorus]

Money ain't everything, but damn it feels like half

It don’t fix your soul, but it'll clear your path

Tell me who don't want it, who don't need the stack?

We all chase the paper, that's a simple fact

Money ain't everything, but damn, it helps a lot

It won't cure your pain, but it'll soften the shot

I ain't blind to love, I ain't blind to hope

But I need the bills just to cope

[Verse 2]

Seen folks smiling wide, new chains, new ride

But behind closed doors, they still cry at night

Yeah, money can't erase the scars you hide

But it sure makes the medicine easier to buy

They judge when you grind, say you're chasing greed

But they never walked a mile with that desperate need

Tryna tell me patience is a better plan

But I’ve seen depression fade with them bands

[Pre-Chorus]

I ain’t saying it’s the cure for your heart

But it’s hard to heal when you’re torn apart

They call it shallow, say it won’t last

But I seen empty wallets break love fast

[Chorus]

Money ain't everything, but damn it feels like half

It don’t fix your soul, but it'll clear your path

Tell me who don't want it, who don't need the stack?

We all chase the paper, that's a simple fact

Money ain't everything, but damn, it helps a lot

It won't cure your pain, but it'll soften the shot

I ain't blind to love, I ain't blind to hope

But I need the bills just to cope

[Bridge]

Can't buy the time we lost

Can't pay to rewind the clock

But bills don’t wait for dreams

And stress don’t care what love means

[Chorus – Breakdown]

Money ain't everything, but damn it feels like half

We all want the comfort, we all want the cash

Ain’t no shame in the hustle, ain’t no shame in the grind

If it buys a little peace of mind

[Outro]

They say money isn't everything...

But when you're broke, it's all you think

So I’ll chase it ‘til I’m free

Judge me, but I need that green
