Dennis Lloyd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
People smell the bills and they wanna be your best friends
Only trust your intuition
Soon as the rain stops, homie, it's just gonna fade away
Tired of fake friends, tired of fake friends
Yeah, I've seen 'em all, seen 'em all, seen 'em all, yeah
Tired of fake news, tired of fake trends
Money, money, money, money, money, yeah
Everybody wanna take a piece of it
Money, money, money, money, yeah
Everybody wants something
Tired of fake friends, tired of waiting
For your mind to come around and you see all they want is something
Tryna line they pockets from your proceeds
Tryna make it big but, boy, they lack the power deep
They wanna be with you
Wanna hang around the things you do
Wanna be around the money, be around the cars
Be around the things that you knew
Don't think you're ready as they pick up their jaws and grind with you, yeah
They just wanna feed off the grind as you do it all
Tired of fake friends, tired of fake friends
Yeah, I've seen 'em all, seen 'em all, seen 'em all, yeah
Tired of fake news, tired of fake trends
Yeah, I've seen 'em all, seen 'em all, seen 'em all, yeah
Money, money, money, money, money, yeah
Everybody wanna take a piece of it
Money, money, money, money, yeah
Everybody wants something
Everybody wants something
Money, money, money, money, money, yeah
Everybody wanna take a piece of it
Money, money, money, money, yeah
Everybody wants something
The lyrics of Dennis Lloyd's song "Commi$$ion$" convey the artist's weariness and frustration with the world of commissions, fake friends, and people who are only interested in benefiting from his success. The song starts by expressing his exhaustion with commissions, as people smell money and suddenly want to become his best friends. He emphasizes the importance of trusting his own intuition and acknowledges that once the rain stops, these opportunistic individuals will fade away.
Lloyd moves on to express his weariness with fake friends and fake trends, emphasizing that he has seen them all. He is tired of the constant presence of fake news and people who only want something from him. The repeated line "money, money, money" showcases the obsession with wealth and the pervasive desire for others to take a piece of it. It reflects the constant pressure and expectations that come with success.
The chorus reinforces Lloyd's frustration with fake friends and fake trends, adding that he has seen it all. He highlights how people try to line their pockets with his proceeds and their lack of deep power or genuine connection. They want to be associated with him, his money, and his lifestyle, but they are not ready to truly grind and work hard like he does.
