Money
Chasing Fame, Escaping Pain: Landon Cube's Money Journey
Lyrics
Uh, she don't really know what my game is
Expressing that the girl doesn't understand his motives or intentions.
Yeah, all she know is that I'm famous
She only knows him for his fame, not for who he truly is.
And she saw my face on her cheap TV
She recognizes him from television, suggesting a superficial connection.
And next thing you know, she stay with me
She ends up staying with him, possibly due to his celebrity status.
Well, fuck it, I love it, live it how I want it
Embracing a carefree and unapologetic lifestyle.
Oh, oh, oh
Repetition for emphasis on the freedom and enjoyment of life.
Oh, oh, oh
-Nut lately, I don't know what you've been thinkin' 'bout
Expressing uncertainty about the girl's thoughts or feelings lately.
You lookin' at me like I'm someone else
She looks at him as if he has changed or become someone else.
All our conversations just won't help
Previous discussions have not been effective in resolving issues.
Can't help you help yourself
Unable to assist her in self-improvement; she must help herself.
Look out my window
Observing from his high vantage point, possibly a metaphor for his perspective on life.
Penthouse on the tenth floor
Describing a luxurious lifestyle with a penthouse on the tenth floor.
I'm waitin' for my boo
Awaiting the arrival of someone special.
But she's not comin' through
Disappointment as the expected person doesn't show up.
Where did you go, love?
Expressing confusion or concern about the absence of love.
I ain't know it was so rough
Realizing the difficulties in the relationship.
We got all these problems
Acknowledging problems in their relationship.
Well, I got money
Despite having money, it doesn't necessarily solve their problems.
But I guess it won't solve 'em
Money is insufficient to resolve the relationship issues.
I run from the fame, runnin' from the game
Running away from the trappings of fame.
I just wanna lay with you, forget about my pain
Desiring a simple connection with the person he loves.
Runnin' from the face, runnin' from the lames
Aversion to the superficial aspects of life and relationships.
I just wanna fade away and don't wanna know your name
Expressing a desire to escape from societal expectations.
You can call me an asshole
Accepting criticism without shame.
I don't got no shame
Asserting a lack of shame for his actions or lifestyle.
Don't mean to be bashful
Clarifying his lack of intention to be disrespectful.
But baby, would you let me in?
Asking for acceptance despite any perceived flaws.
Lately, I don't know what you've been thinkin' 'bout
Reiterating uncertainty about the girl's thoughts recently.
You lookin' at me like I'm someone else
She sees him differently, adding to the confusion in the relationship.
I know conversation just won't help
Acknowledging the ineffectiveness of verbal communication.
You do you, I'ma do myself
Encouraging her to focus on her own path while he does the same.
Ah, ah, ah
Repetition for emphasis on a sense of realization or understanding.
Look out my window
Observing life from a high vantage point, possibly a metaphor for reflection.
Penthouse on the tenth floor
Reiteration of the luxurious lifestyle and perspective on love.
I'm waitin' for my boo
Waiting for someone special who doesn't arrive.
But she's not comin' through
Disappointment at the unfulfilled expectation of love.
Where did you go, love?
Expressing surprise or concern about the difficulties in love.
I ain't know it was so rough
Realizing the challenges in the relationship.
We got all these problems
Acknowledging the existence of problems in their relationship.
Well, I got money
Despite having money, it doesn't necessarily solve their problems.
But I guess it won't solve 'em
Reiteration that wealth alone is insufficient to resolve relationship issues.
