Chasing Thrills: The Price of Happiness in All Hollow's Dolla Billz
Lyrics
Put on your happy face
Encouragement to put on a positive front or attitude
Although you may feel bad
Acknowledging that feeling bad is normal
Put your own self in danger
Suggesting taking risks for the benefit of others' happiness
To make the rest feel glad
Implies sacrificing personal well-being for the joy of others
They always say the more the less
Reflects the saying that having more leads to having less
These comments I always digress
Admitting to digressing from discussions about these comments
Cause they don't tell you everything
Highlighting that not everything is disclosed in advice
But with a few more hundred dollar bills
Connecting the idea that money can bring more opportunities
You get more girls and have more thrills
Suggesting that wealth can enhance one's social and personal life
So I could feel a little bit better
Desire for improvement in mood through financial means
Or I could sit there and complain about the weather
Contrasting the option of complaining about external factors
With a few more hundred dollar bills
Reiterating the potential benefits of having more money
You get more girls and have more thrills
Emphasizing the connection between wealth and enjoyment
Strap on you finest sneakers
Encouraging a polished appearance, possibly for social acceptance
Put on your finest jeans
Highlighting the importance of dressing well
Make sure you look impressive
Emphasizing the need to make a good impression
So you don't cause a scene
Avoiding causing disturbances or conflicts
Your opinion is their offence
Stating that expressing personal opinions may offend others
I won't live at your own expense
Refusing to live at the cost of others
Cause you don't tell me everything
Highlighting the lack of full disclosure in others' communication
But with a few more hundred dollar bills
Reiterating the positive aspects of having more money
You get more girls and have more thrills
Linking wealth to increased opportunities for pleasure
So I could feel a little bit better
Desiring an improved emotional state through financial means
Or I could sit there and complain about the weather
Comparing the choice between improving mood and complaining
With a few more hundred dollar bills
Repeating the association of wealth with enhanced experiences
You get more girls and have more thrills
Reiterating the positive correlation between money and enjoyment
They always act so friendly
Noting that people may seem friendly but can be harmful
But somehow kill you gently
Highlighting the paradox of seemingly friendly actions leading to harm
Their mouths the barrel of a gun
Metaphorically describing words as potentially harmful
They won't leave till they have some fun
Suggesting that some seek enjoyment at the expense of others
Your misery has just begun
Signifying the beginning of suffering or hardship
Has just begun
Repeating the idea of the commencement of difficulties
With a few more hundred dollar bills
Reiterating the positive aspects of wealth and its influence
You get more girls and have more thrills
Emphasizing the connection between money and pleasure
So I could feel a little bit better
Expressing the desire for emotional improvement through wealth
Or I could sit there and complain about the weather
Comparing the choice between personal improvement and complaint
With a few more hundred dollar bills
Repeating the association of wealth with increased enjoyment
You get more girls and have more thrills
Reiterating the positive correlation between money and pleasure
I've done some things I can't forgive
Admitting to regrettable actions that are hard to forgive
Though I may die have we ever lived
Pondering on the quality of life despite past mistakes
I said I've done some things I can't forgive
Repeating the admission of unforgivable actions
Though I may die have we ever lived
Reflecting on the possibility of living despite past mistakes
Yeah
Affirmation of the previous contemplation
