Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They gave lil' Trotty 25 for them thangs, nigga
They walk up on you, get down and say your prayers, nigga
They walk up on you, get down and say your prayers, nigga
(Young Metro, Young Metro, Young Metro)
Yeah, we've been at the laundromat all day
We've been washin' money, all day
I heard the police lookin' for me 'cause I got the hood hot
We've been at the laundromat all day
We've been washin' money, all day
Heard the police lookin' for me 'cause I got the hood hot

It got blood on that money and I still count it
They got blood on that money and I still count it
I can't help the way I'm raised up
That Easter Pink, I tried to give it up, I can't give it up

28 grams, I serve it on the porch
I just seent them narcs, they ran off in my house
The homicide unit coming to the house
My cousin murked a nigga and he just got out
I hang with all the killers and the robbers
I pour me up some drank, say "Fuck my problems"
My hood, they treat me like I'm El Chapo
I keep that dog food like I'm Ralo
I had the warrant in Clayco and beat the case
And I'm fresh as hell, bitch, Easter day
All my ghetto tactics, I'm above average
I've been so in tune, man I've been so ambitious
Grab another Fanta, let me fill it up
If they ain't make the channel, you ain't built like us
The federales fuckin' with my nigga Ty
It's Black Amigo Gang 'til a nigga die
I feel I'm walkin' through Hell
I swear to God I'll never tell
They try to give a nigga the chair
I tell my mama, "Wish me well"

They got blood on that money and I still count it
They got blood on that money and I still count it
They got girl on the money and I still count it
They got boy on the money, watch my nigga count it

I know the devil is real, I know the devil is real
I take a dose of them pills and I get real low in the field
I'll fly to LA today, and I live so high in the Hills
I share the mansion with goonies, I shared the bitch with a goonie
I took the MAC in Bal Harbor, niggas ain't slippin', we got 'em
I took the pack out to Paris, me and that money got married
Me and the molly got married
Devoted in everything, my niggas mean everything
We're 5 deep inside a Chevy
Yeah, we tryna go get it
Ask me, do I know how to whip it
Yeah, fuck the witness

It got blood on that money and I still count it
They got blood on that money and I still count it
I can't help the way I'm raised up
That Easter Pink, I tried to give it up, I can't give it up

She put me off and it was ugly
I made a million dollars, say she love me
The way she did me, it destroyed me
I kept it real with lil' shorty
I've been goin' bar for bar
These niggas know what's poppin' with me
I can go from car to car, these bitches quarter million at least
Two thousand for the shoes, I keep some shit on my feet
I'm prolly in the mood to fuck your bitch on the beach
I dropped out of school and I get money like Meech
Send a junkie, send a driver just to get somethin' to eat
You see how things change?
I came from cocaine

They got blood on that money and I still count it
They got blood on that money and I still count it
I can't help the way I'm raised up
That Easter Pink, I tried to give it up, I can't give it up

I hang with all the killers and the robbers
I pour me up a drink, say "Fuck my problems"
The federales fuckin' with my nigga Ty
It's Black Amigo Gang 'til a nigga die
I heard the police lookin' for me 'cause I got the hood hot
Heard the police lookin' for me 'cause I got the hood




They got girls on the money and I still count it
They got boy on the money, watch my nigga count it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Future's song Blood On the Money depict the hard and often bloody realities of life in the streets. The song conveys a sense of desperation and danger as Future recounts tales of illicit activities such as drug dealing, murder, and deception. The opening lines of the song refer to a person named lil' Trotty who was paid $25 for something that is not explicitly revealed, but is likely a reference to drug dealing. The ominous line "They walk up on you, get down and say your prayers, nigga" suggests the violence and brutality that can come with this lifestyle.


Throughout the song, Future describes washing money at the laundromat, avoiding the police who are looking for him, and interacting with dangerous individuals such as killers and robbers. He acknowledges that he has blood on his money, but still counts it, indicating a willingness to accept the moral consequences of his actions. Future's references to drugs such as "Easter Pink" and "dog food" underscore the dangerous and destructive nature of addiction.


In the end, the lyrics suggest that Future's only options are to keep hustling or face the possibility of prison or death. The final lines of the song, "They got girls on the money and I still count it, They got boy on the money, watch my nigga count it," suggest that even with all the bloodshed and danger, the lure of money remains too strong to resist.
