Lyrics

Real money what this all about, all out

Emphasizing the importance of genuine wealth and the commitment to giving one's best effort.

Going in on the job call out - never

Expressing dedication to the job without hesitation or reluctance.

Call my agent for the tour route

Referring to coordinating tour details through professional channels, possibly a manager or agent.

Van is rented, band is in it, love it when we all together

Highlighting the joy of being with the band and the satisfaction of unity.

Getting better with the business, don't

Stressing continuous improvement in handling business matters and avoiding premature communication.

Speak until I'm finished, quit pretending you got more clout, tell ya

Discouraging false claims of influence and advising honesty.

I don't care who you are or who your man is

Indicating a disregard for social status and relationships, focusing on authenticity.

No regard for image, know its hard for you to sell em

Acknowledging the challenge of promoting genuine artistry in a market concerned with image.

I'm as real as real is getting, finding it hard to kick it

Asserting genuine authenticity and expressing difficulty in connecting with others.

If I know our logic's different, honestly I'm just distant

Acknowledging differences in perspectives and expressing a sense of detachment.

I might drop in for a visit, say hello, and I'm dippin'

Hinting at occasional visits without a prolonged stay, maintaining a degree of distance.

Conversations on auto, exceeding my social limit

Describing automated or routine conversations, suggesting social limitations.

We could talk about the weather, gossip 'bout a homie

Offering mundane topics for discussion, highlighting a lack of profound connection.

But one thing's on my mind only

Stating a singular focus on a specific matter, possibly personal or career-related.

Yeah you know what that is, yeah you know what that is

Reiterating the importance of the mentioned matter, emphasizing its constant presence in thoughts.

Contains the letter O, ends in Y, and it ain't "phony"

Playfully identifying the matter by its characteristics, likely a word or concept.

Guess

Inviting the listener to guess the identified concept.


If I made a million dollars in an evening then

Exploring a hypothetical scenario of sudden wealth acquisition and its potential disbelief.

I spent on the weekend no nobody would believe me but I wouldn't be surprised

Acknowledging a lack of surprise in such a scenario but emphasizing the unlikelihood of it happening.

But if it took me long to get it, then I probably wouldn't spend it

Suggesting a conservative approach to spending wealth earned through a prolonged effort.

See me polishing my pennies, fell in love

Depicting a meticulous and careful attitude towards managing even small amounts of money.
