Said fuck this shit, you know what's on my mind
Stay on your hustle, you'll be on your grind
Whip out your heart and lift it on the line
You're running out of time
You lose your mind, you lose your fucking mind
You lose your mind, you lose your fucking mind
You close your eyes, you're seeing dollar signs, dollar signs

Dollars signs (dollar signs)
I told you once, ain't gotta tell you twice (no, no)
If life's a game I'm throwing loaded dice (loaded dice)
These are the girls, ain't really what you like, what you like (no)
Feeling like running away (away)
Stressing 'bout nothing all day
Money and hoes, come and they go
Let them go, fuck 'em away
Everything ain't what it seems, if it's not just a dream
I believe it, I believe it

Love is something vicious
Still it isn't right
Seeing all them secrets in your eyes
Leave me in the middle
Underneath the lights
You know I ain't got no chill tonight
(No chill no chill no) Got no chill tonight
(No chill no chill no) Got no chill tonight
(No chill no chill no) Got no chill tonight

The opening lines of "Dollar Signs" by Calvin Harris suggests a feeling of frustration with the world, urging listeners to "stay on your hustle, you'll be on your grind" in pursuit of success. The lyrics go on to explain how people may "lose their minds" if they don't stay focused on the goal, which is making money. In the chorus, the song describes how people become obsessed with money, with daily stresses and struggles surrounding people as they see nothing but "dollar signs."
The lyrics reveal the role of money in modern society and how people will always be obsessed with it. Even love, which is touted as the answer to life's problems, is ignored in favour of wealth. The second verse provides a more personal perspective on the pursuit of riches, describing a life of chasing girls that aren't actually compatible with the singer. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing how money is always the focus for the majority of people.
Overall, "Dollar Signs" paints a picture of how people can become consumed by money through the desire to succeed, and eventually, it becomes all they see, unable to appreciate life beyond their bank accounts.

Money and hoes, come and they go
Money and women are fleeting
Let them go, fuck 'em away

Not everything is as it appears, unless it's about money
I believe it, I believe it
I believe that money is everything
Love is something vicious
Love is dangerous and can disrupt my pursuit of money
Still it isn't right
Even though I know money is more important, it doesn't sit well with me
Seeing all them secrets in your eyes
I'm suspicious of those who don't share my desire for money
Leave me in the middle
I don't want to choose between money and love
Underneath the lights
In the spotlight of my desire for money
You know I ain't got no chill tonight
I'm too focused on making money to relax
(No chill no chill no) Got no chill tonight
I'm completely consumed by my pursuit of money
