Lyrics
Just a thought that's in the back of my mind
Reflecting on a persistent idea in the background of the artist's thoughts.
They tried to tell you money doesn't make you happy they lied
Rejecting the notion that money doesn't bring happiness, asserting that it does.
Ay who started up that rumor damn they had to be high
Questioning the origin of the idea that money doesn't lead to happiness, suggesting skepticism.
Let me get rich I'll be the judge and actually decide
Expressing a desire for wealth to have the authority to judge and decide matters.
You telling me your rich problems with your racks in a safe
Highlighting the contrast between discussing rich people's problems and facing poverty.
Hearing bout it when you broke is like a smack in the face
Experiencing a sense of shock or disbelief when hearing about wealth while being financially struggling.
Cuz all my issues all revolve around the bag that I chase
Stating that all personal issues are connected to the pursuit of money.
And when I try to get ahead they put you back in your place
Encountering setbacks when striving for financial improvement.
Just a thought that's in the back of my head
Reiterating the recurring thought in the artist's mind.
I keep on hearing money doesn't make you happy they said
Acknowledging the common belief that money doesn't equate to happiness.
Well I'd be happy if I didn't have to ask all my friends
Expressing frustration at having to borrow money for a family member's medical expenses.
To borrow money so my mom could afford grabbing her meds
Desiring happiness, especially without relying on friends for financial support.
Yeah I'd be happy man 100%
Stating a hypothetical scenario where financial stability would lead to contentment.
if I ain't have two jobs just to cover the rent
Describing the burdens of working two jobs to cover basic living expenses.
Barely seeing daylight is how my summers are spent
Conveying a challenging lifestyle with limited leisure time during the summer.
And I could focus on some different shit other than bread
Expressing a desire to focus on things other than financial struggles.
I've been tryna make these promises right
Struggling to fulfill promises due to financial constraints.
But these finances always got me causing a fight
Money issues causing conflicts in personal relationships.
With my girl and that's the reason we ain't talking at night
Highlighting relationship strain due to shared financial stress.
Cuz we both stressed out about how are pockets are tight
Expressing a wish for financial stability to alleviate relationship tension.
Man I'd be happy if I wasn't a wreck
Desiring emotional well-being and stability.
Let's be real I'd be happy if I wasn't in debt
Expressing a longing for happiness without the burden of debt.
Doing shit that was just for a check
Reflecting on engaging in activities solely for financial gain.
I pray to god for peace of mind even if it's just for a sec
Seeking peace of mind through prayer, even if temporary.
Just a thought that's in the back of my mind
Reiteration of a recurring thought about money and happiness.
They tried to tell you money doesn't make you happy they lied
Repeating the theme that money contradicts the notion of happiness.
Ay who started up that rumor damn they had to be high
Questioning the credibility of those who claim money doesn't bring happiness.
Let me get rich I'll be the judge and actually decide
Expressing a desire to be wealthy for the power to make personal judgments.
You telling me your rich problems with your racks in a safe
Contrasting the experience of discussing rich people's problems with financial struggles.
Hearing bout it when you broke is like a smack in the face
Experiencing emotional impact when hearing about wealth while being financially strained.
Cuz all my issues all revolve around the bag that I chase
Reiterating that all personal challenges are connected to the pursuit of financial success.
And when I try to get ahead they put you back in your place
Encountering resistance or setbacks when trying to improve financial standing.
