[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Ayo, your world, my world, same shit, different day
Different shit, same toilet, paper gotta circulate
Just to keep the water flushing, stove hot, fridge cold
Cabinets full, clothes clean, quarters for the wash and fold
Kids grow bigger so the gear grow, tight and old
Inflation triggers so the prices grow
Go figure, bills like Williams and your will's like debt
That lives longer than you, collectors never forget
And you set assets so your child's regrets
Diamonds begets, get, got before closure threats
These are grown folks fears swinging over your head
Better that than the water you continue to tread
And a job you continue to dread
Better yet they say
''Love your work and never work a day in your life''
They say "be your own boss and you doing it right"
I say "shit, whatever gets you through it at night"

[Hook]
Because doctors, dealers, even MCs
Ponder on all life's complexities
But can't see the forest for the evergreen trees
So they collect leaves, but when collects leave
Doctors, dealers, even MCs
Roll up their sleeves and put in work
You gotta hold on tight just to climb that ladder
With your mind on your money and money, money matters
Money matters, money matters
Yeah, money matters, but it's mind over matter
