Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Money sweet slow feat no drag today
No jack no slack no pack today
No glass no weed no sag today
We blessed today no stress today
But still on the grind no rest today
Play after play didnt come to play
Like b on a hunnid get stahm todayOn drip today money flip today
Pullin up in a brand new whip today
Stay true today skip you today
You drove out here we flew today
First class today no pass today
No credit we talkin all cash today
Movin fast today got to slow it down
Blow it baby dog we hold it down
Bankroll fat no foldin down
Kingpin of rap golden crown
Most of yall cap bozo clowns
Bozo clowns bozo clowns
Keys on a freezer move it like caesar
Just like ibiza want extra cheesa
No mona lisa but i paint pictaaas
Keep the wockeesha pass me the liqaa
Sicka then sicka panties go drippa
Extra security with extra clippas
Jewlery toolery pockets got thicka
Money train just like the rock and I'm jigga
Jewlery toolery pockets got thicka
Money train just like the rock and I'm jigga
Jewlery toolery pockets got thicka
Money train just like the rock and I'm jigga
Money like wunna queen B like I'm Jigga
When I'm on the mic every bar is a thriller
I switch the flows like the water switch rivers
I want the bag today,
Something that weighs like half of me
So I can take that to the hood make the money do good,
And create other pathways
See, they say the love of money leads to evil,
Think of what that could do for the people
You got the focus and motive to mold this community into the thing that it wants to be
That's when you start to chase money for real
This banana court pays for the appeals
Don't chase the money that's what they'll say
They just don't want you to join in the chase
Then you buy umbrellas for when it rains
They cannot make you into the new slaves
They want you chasin' a check
For just a few dollars you'd sell your respect
Guess, what the true evil is, power
Sit on that throne, you could get devoured
So go get the bag just avoid the control
You could use that to make your half a whole
blessed today no stress today
But still on the grind no rest today
Play after play didnt come to play
Like b on a hunnid get stahm today
On drip today money flip today
Pullin up in a brand new whip today
Stay true today skip you today
You drove out here we flew today
First class today no pass today
No credit we talkin all cash today
Movin fast today got to slow it down
Blow it baby dog we hold it down
Bankroll fat no foldin down
Kingpin of rap golden crown
Most of yall cap bozo clowns
Bozo clowns bozo clowns
We blessed today no stress today
But still on the grind no rest today
Play after play didnt come to play
Like b on a hunnid get stahm today
On drip today money flip today
Pullin up in a brand new whip today
Stay true today skip you today
You drove out here we flew today
First class today no pass today
No credit we talkin all cash today
Movin fast today got to slow it down
Blow it baby dog we hold it down

The lyrics of Daniel Mouyal’s "TODAY" encapsulate a multifaceted narrative that balances success, ambition, and the trials of modern life. At the core is a triumphant tone, as the artist asserts a state of feeling “blessed” and “no stress,” reflecting a day filled with positive energy. He juxtaposes this upbeat mood with the understanding that such a feeling does not come without hard work, as he remains “on the grind” and acknowledges that success necessitates sacrifice and effort—"no rest today." There’s an ethos of continuous hustle, underlining the tension between enjoying the present and striving for future achievements, which resonates throughout the song, emphasizing a determined approach to life and success.
Mouyal’s lyrical composition also reflects the financial aspirations that come with ambition, touching on themes of wealth and materialism. The references to “money sweet" and “bankroll fat” illustrate a desire for economic security, while "first class today" and "brand new whip" boast of achievements that come with hard work. He contrasts his success against those he describes as “bozo clowns,” implying a disdain for superficiality or inauthenticity in the pursuit of money. By framing money in this way, he highlights a key tension in the modern experience: the balance between the necessity of financial gain and the risk of losing oneself in the pursuit of it. This notion aligns with the idea of self-awareness and authenticity, which he promotes by emphasizing staying true to oneself amidst the flashy lifestyle often associated with rap culture.
The lyrics further explore the implications of wealth on community transformation. Mouyal thoughtfully engages with the idea that money can indeed have a positive impact. He states his ambition to not only achieve personal success but also to bring about change in his community, hinting that with wealth, he could create “other pathways” for those around him. His acknowledgment of the moral pitfalls associated with the love of money—“the love of money leads to evil”—reveals a nuanced understanding that financial gain should ultimately serve a higher purpose. It encourages a brighter vision where wealth is seen not merely as an end goal but as a means to uplift those within his community, thus steering the narrative towards a communal form of success that transcends individual glory.
Finally, his reflection on the dangers of chasing money liberally critiques societal pressures that often lead individuals to sell their integrity for a measly paycheck. The line, “they just don’t want you to join in the chase” captures a sentiment of societal manipulation wherein the powerful discourage the pursuit of wealth because it would disrupt the status quo. This sentiment bridges a universal understanding of ambition with a warning against the potentially corrupting influence of wealth. Mouyal’s insistence to “go get the bag just avoid the control” encapsulates an empowering message, advocating for financial independence combined with social responsibility. The song ultimately celebrates the dream of obtaining wealth while promoting the importance of ethical considerations and community upliftment, positioning itself as both an anthem of success and a commentary on personal and societal values.
