Pay to Play
Pay the Price: Love, Money, and the Game of Life
Lyrics
She said I want the money
Expresses a desire for financial success.
I know you want it honey
Acknowledges the mutual desire for wealth.
Your skies will not be sunny
Warns that success may be elusive without effort.
If you don't bring it home to me
Emphasizes the importance of bringing money home.
Don't want to hear your crying
Rejects emotional pleas, preferring action.
'Cause baby I'm not trying
States a lack of interest in mere attempts without results.
To wait for your dreams to fly in
Discourages waiting for success to happen passively.
Then she smiled and said to me
Describes a change in mood and attitude.
Well I don't believe in what you do
Expresses disbelief in the person's actions.
And I don't believe in what you say

When are we going to get paid?

I have been waiting all the time
Expresses impatience and weariness from waiting.
And I'm about to fade
