Money
Leikeli47 Lyrics

Chilling, layin' in the cut, doe
Relaxing and waiting for something to happen, taking a break in the process.

Easy, tryin' see what up, doe
Taking it easy while observing what is going on around oneself.

Brooklyn, home of the cutthroats
Brooklyn, being a tough environment full of dangerous individuals.

Notorious, y'all know how the rest go
Brooklyn has a reputation for being a place of conflict and aggression.

Sleeping, one eye open
Keeping an eye out even while resting.

Too smart 'cause I'm always scopin'
Being sharp because they are always observant.

Watching, seeing how these lanes look
Studying other people and their actions to better understand them.

Lazy, that's how you get ya fame took
Being inactive can lead to someone else taking away their success.

Money, I got money
Celebrating their financial success.

Talking, always talking
Pointing out others' shortcomings continuously without taking any action oneself.

That's your problem, you always talking
Challenging someone who only talks and never takes action.

Rockstar, mixed with a ghetto chick
Being a cool personality who is both street-smart and artistically gifted.

Try me? I wish a nigga would, bitch
Challenging anyone who thinks they can stand up against them.

Hol' up, who gon' hold us? (la-la-la, huh la-la-la-la-la)
Asking who can stop them from being successful.

Not the cemetery, or the penitentiary, damn my contemporaries
Not succumbing to death or jail, despite the potentially dangerous lifestyle of those around them.

I'm too legendary, it's so
Believing in their own ability to succeed and become a legend.

All my life, I had to grind and hustle
Working hard and putting in effort for success throughout their entire life.

I had to work like Kobe just to shine like Russell
Comparing themselves to basketball players Kobe Bryant and Russell Westbrook, and working hard like Bryant to shine like Westbrook.

They say, "Glad you made it, it happened over night"
Others may not understand the true amount of effort it took to be successful.

They say, "Damn, you changed"
Some people may judge them for being different now that they have achieved success.

Nigga I be, in the crib, tryna find the BPM
Relaxing and looking for inspiration, specifically the beats per minute (BPM) for their music.

Rehearsing for the next show in my kitchen
Preparing for their next musical performance in an unorthodox place like their own kitchen.

Fresh off a tour, but can't tell ya where I been
Having just returned from a tour but being unsure of where they traveled to or the experiences they had.

Maybe after twenty years, I'll stop to take it in
Considering taking a break and reflecting on their success, but much later in the future.

Right now, I'm chasing yen in Dover street again
Currently focused on making money, referencing Dover Street Market as a place to profit.

I'm introverted, I'm not open to new friends
Being a solitary person who is not actively seeking new social connections.

But if ya real cute, then I have to think again
They might potentially change their introverted habits for someone they find attractive.

Shop the runway, so you can stay off-trend and look like
Suggesting purchasing expensive runway fashion to look unique and have an individual style.

Money, I got money
Continuing to celebrate their financial success.

All my life, I had to grind and hustle
Reinforcing the hard work and dedication it took to reach success.

I'm money, I got money
Emphasizing that they, as a person, embody wealth and success.
