Dirty Money Bags
Deegan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That’s the only thing I could see when I was broke
New advances I could spend it on my side chick
That’s the only reason I was spendin’ all my dough
I’ve been on my new shit (No way)
Fuck bein’ ‘sad boy’ get up and do shit (Oof)
Keep in time fall behind
What a nuisance (Stop)
Count ya blessings
My to do list
Now I’m useless
Now wait a minute can’t you see?
I was never one to fold
(Doin better on my own
Doin better on my own)
Wait a minute can’t you see?
I don’t wanna fade (Woah-oh)
The shades of yesterday
How they glow how they glow how they glow
But You
Never, never, never seem to change
Ooo-ahhhh
I got dirty money bags in my eyelids
That’s the only thing I could see when I was broke
New advances I could spend it on my side chick
That’s the only reason I was spendin’ all my dough
I stop and ask where the pain go
Devils dancin’ do the tango
Fruit of labor take the mango
Forget about wherever they go
It’s so hard not to pay attention
These evil thoughts that I mentioned
I had to deal with depression
I think I missed on the lesson
And I wait
For a change
But everyday
Just feels the same
I did that on my own
Spent all my days alone
Actin like I’m happy when I’m postin’ on my phone
But I know today
This feelings gonna change
And I’m tired of the rain
But it never feels the same
And I wait
For a change
But everyday
Just feels the same
I did that on my own
Spent all my days alone
Actin like I’m happy when I’m postin’ on my phone
But I know today
This feelings gonna change
And I’m tired of the rain
But it never feels the same
