Jay-J & Halo Varga feat. Latrice Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

"So this goes very deep, it goes deep, deep, deep
Into a problem that the love of money is the root of evil
Very true saying because, you see
If you do a job with the sole purpose of making money, you are absurd
Because if money becomes the goal, and it does when you work that way
You begin increasing it to confuse it with happiness or with pleasure"

If money is all that I think of then how can I make any sense girl

If money is all that I live for then my journey will never end girl
I get caught up in the cash and then I forget about the music
If they offered 10 Mill for my soul, I can’t say that I wouldn’t choose it
Told her I need that fucking Ferrari, if I don’t have one I must be worthless
Step on them like I’ve been stepped on, girl I need to feel like I’m worth it
Everyone says I’m not fine, they say I’m switching up ‘cause of money
I simply don’t pay no mind, if you ain’t talking paper don’t call me

I sleep there, I wake up
I sit there all day everyday
Where I came from there seemed like no way
In my thoughts
If I put a bullet in my head
It’s over, I’d end all this pain
Spend it on me, I’m so selfish
When I see the watch I can’t help it
I’m not the one that you want
I’m a lowlife it runs in my blood
Hold up girl, something just hit me
Hold up what the fuck is with me?
Fuck all the dreams money buys
Their lies that they sell to our minds
It’s either I could ball out
Or I could spend less on myself
I had to sleep on the couch
So I could buy my mom a house
The love for this money is fake
The root of all our evil ways
Looked to the sky and I prayed
God says I’ve wandered from faith
Fucking eye of a needle
Money, power, fucking evil
10 Mill or not, we’re both equal
10 Mill or not, we’re both people

(Outro)

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, the artists delve into the deeper issue of how the love of money can corrupt individuals and distort their priorities. They emphasize that solely focusing on making money is an absurd approach to life, as it equates money with happiness or pleasure. They suggest that such thinking can lead to a loss of meaning and purpose.

The first verse highlights the artist's struggle with money and its allure. They admit that they sometimes get caught up in the pursuit of cash and forget about the true essence of their art. They reflect on the hypothetical scenario of being offered a large sum of money for their soul and admit that it would be tempting to accept. This illustrates how money can easily overshadow the importance of artistic integrity and personal growth.

The second paragraph depicts the artist's internal struggle with their materialistic desires. They express their selfishness and obsession with possessions, specifically mentioning their longing for a Ferrari. They acknowledge feeling worthless if they don't possess certain material goods, which showcases the negative impact of equating self-worth with monetary wealth. Despite this, they also recognize the sacrifices they have made, such as sleeping on a couch to provide for their loved ones.

In the outro, the artists confront their own internal contradictions. They acknowledge their selfish desires and the allure of wealth, but also question the validity of these desires. They express a change of heart, rejecting the notion that dreams can be bought with money and recognizing the lies society sells in regards to material success. The artists conclude by reminding themselves and the listener that money does not determine a person's worth and that, ultimately, we are all equal as human beings. They suggest that these realizations have been a result of reflecting on their faith and acknowledging their deviation from it.

Overall, the lyrics shed light on the complex relationship between money, self-worth, and personal values. They explore the dangers of becoming consumed by material desires and the potential for money to corrupt one's identity and purpose.
