Lunchmoney Lewis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I'ma gon' work, work, work every day
I got mouths I gotta feed
So I'ma gon' make sure everybody eats
I got bills
All these bills pile up my desk
They looking like a mount
I can hear their stomach growl
There's a full moon out
And my girl just keep on howlin'
Said she gonna leave me if I don't home with fifty thousand
Fifty thousand? Ah damn, ah damn, ah damn, ah damn
Oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man
Ah damn, oh man, ah damn, oh man
I got bills I gotta pay
So I'm gon' work, work, work every day
I got mouths I gotta feed
So I'm gon' make sure everybody eats
I got bills
Woke up and I bumped my head
Stumped my toe on the edge of the bed
Opened the fridge and the food all gone
Neighbor's damn dog done crapped on my lawn
Hopped in the car and the car won't start
It's too damn hot but I still gotta walk
Behind an old lady in the grocery line
Praying that my card won't get declined
Ah damn, ah damn, ah damn, ah damn
Oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man
Ah damn, oh man, ah damn, oh man
I got bills I gotta pay
So I'm gon' work, work, work every day
I got mouths I gotta feed
So I'm gon' make sure everybody eats
I got
And my shoes, my shoes
I said my shoes
Ain't got no soul
I got bills I gotta pay
So I'm gon' work, work, work every day
I got mouths I gotta feed
So I'm gon' make sure everybody eats
I got bills I gotta pay
So I'm gon' work, work, work every day
I got mouths I gotta feed
So I'm gon' make sure everybody eats
I got bills
Yo momma got bills, yo daddy got bills
Yo sister got bills, Yo auntie got bills (I got bills)
Yo uncle got bills
Everybody got bills, everybody got bills, uh
The song "Bills" by Lunchmoney Lewis is an anthem for everyone who has financial responsibilities and worries. The lyrics describe the daily struggles and frustrations of paying bills and providing for loved ones. The chorus takes the listener through the artist's mindset, where he realizes that he has bills to pay and mouths to feed, so he must work hard every day to ensure that his family and those around him don't go hungry. He uses his shoes as a metaphor for his hard work, saying that they don't have any soul because he works so much.
The song speaks to the universal human experience of financial anxiety and the need to work hard to provide for oneself and one's family. The first verse talks about the pile of bills on his desk, and how they feel like a mountain. He also mentions the children around him and how he can hear their hunger in the form of growling stomachs. The second verse talks about the various problems he faces in his daily life - from the lack of food in his fridge to his car not starting. The phrase "ah damn" appears repeatedly, emphasizing the frustration and hopelessness that often come with financial struggles.
Overall, "Bills" can be seen as a relatable and catchy tune that highlights the importance of hard work and perseverance in the face of financial stressors.
