Pound
Armin Van Buuren vs. M.I.K.E. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

(Money)
(I mean what is a, how much is, how much is a lot of money?)
(That's a good question) (ES on the beat)
(Have, have you made, say millions of dollars?) (Likkledotz)
(No)
(Are you a rich man?)
(When you mean rich, what you mean?)
(You have a lot of possessions? Lot of money in the bank)
(Possession make you rich?)
(I don't, I don't have that type of richness, my richness is life, forever)

They say the pound signs turnin' me crazy (One)
Just look what's it doin' to me
I put two hundred racks on his cranium
And make his own friend wanna put him to sleep (turn)
Funny how I used to pray for a chain until there's bruises on my knees
A hundred thou', man blew it this week (turn)
See friends turn foes (One)
Then roses grew out my sleeve
I've seen the fiend nearly overdose
And I can still hear that voice in my dreams
Packs got flew out the T, no one was rootin' for me
They should make a movie on me, you see some Louis on me
Look what this money is doing to me

Look what this money is doing to me (money)
She wanted goals like Bey' and Jay-Z (Jay-Z)
Then she got left emotionally scarred, Lil' Baby
I make this money, this money don't make me
Gotta chase money cah pussy don't pay me
Got a new nigga, but she'll be back
Shorty said I'm unforgettable like Swae Lee
The pound sign amaze me (su, su, su, su, su)
Look what it's doin' to me
I just go flood the whole block with trainers
One was velcro, the rest had laces
Somebody on job could have got a facelift (One)
'Cause the stupidity and my label love the lucrative me
So next time I want ten milli', that's a platinum pay check (turn, turn, turn, uh)
New opp block, the neighbors don't know my name yet (turn, turn, turn)
But they know there's trade
Don't know how shh-shh didn't turn flavors
It really could have went the gelato way
Need one hundred mil' before I touch my grave
I pray, I pray (money)
Until then, I'm on work bro
Night shift, day shift, night shift, day

They say the pound signs turnin' me crazy (One)
Just look what's it doin' to me
I put two hundred racks on his cranium
And make his own friend wanna put him to sleep (turn)
Funny how I used to pray for a chain until there's bruises on my knees
A hundred thou', man blew it this week
(Turn, turn, turn, turn) turn
See friends turn foes (One)
Then roses grew out my sleeve
I've seen the fiend nearly overdose
And I can still hear that voice in my dreams
Packs got flew out the T, no one was rootin' for me
They should make a movie on me, you see some Louis on me
Look what this money is doing to me

Pops said this money is ruinin' me
(Turn, turn, told me turn, yeah) flip
Yeah (ayy, turn, he told me to turn)
My pops said this money is ruinin' me
My new ting Cuba ain't cuter than me
And even though she ain't ten-ten (ten)
It's the inner beauty for me
How many times did I bring that wraps to boil?
The T-house brought out the Susan in me
Drug squad bootin' off the bando door
They found nothin' 'bout niggas and failed (One)
Done years in the can, now I'm free (free up)
Took the PWITS to the chest
But you know for the works had to turn on the the plea
They would have threw away the key (ah)
Two hundred racks for a show
Three years ago, I'd do it for free
Not to long, I was kway up North
875 what I took for that 'teenth
Had to chase this money all through my teens
Now this money chase me (ayy)
Ah, this paper long, ain't comin' in free

They say the pound signs turnin' me crazy
Just look what's it doin' to me
I put two hundred racks on his cranium
And make his own friend wanna put him to sleep (turn)
Funny how I used to pray for a chain until there's bruises on my knees
A hundred thou', man blew it this week
(Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn)
See friends turn foes (One)
Then roses grew out my sleeve
I've seen the fiend nearly overdose
And I can still hear that voice in my dreams
Packs got flew out the T, no one was rootin' for me
They should make a movie on me, you see some Louis on me
Look what this money is doing to me
(Look what this money is doing to me)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Armin Van Buuren vs. M.I.K.E.'s song "Pound" discuss the effects of money on someone's life. The first verse talking about how people question how much money is enough, and the second talking about the materialistic desires that money can bring. The chorus repeatedly states that the pound signs (money) are turning him crazy and he expresses concern for his own sanity. The lyrics describe the highs and lows that come with a wealthy lifestyle, from gambling away a fortune in a week to seeing friends turn on each other over money.


The verses convey a sense of struggle and hustle to make it to the top, where money flows like water. The lyrics reflect the type of life that many people in the music industry live, chasing a dream and often ending up with more money than they thought possible. Despite this, the song's underlying message is that money cannot buy everything and can corrupt the soul of even the best of people.

I've been looking for this song ever since I heard it on Pandora and I couldn't find it in Apple Music. Turns out, Pandora has it spelled "Pund" instead of "Pound"

Vicente Ramirez-Carrillo

DUDE!!!! Thank you soooo much! I was disappointed when I couldn't find it on iTunes and your clarification worked! Thanks!!!
