Love of Money
Mavi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, yeah
No self control on my own, alone in niggas to loathe when the money go missin', yeah
In my wallet, in my rib cage, I love love enough for comfort, knowin' money go with it
I told her whether you like it or not, this thing of ours tied in a knot, I can't hold it no more
I don't think these venules supposed to hold venom or
I don't think exposure to this cold is for a nigga, boy
I don't even know if all these probes is worth bigger toys
I be talkin' shit that it ain't English words fittin' for
I be in the bottom of the barrel
In the studio was raised in, just consumed in my vocation
That or loopy in rotation, that or
In the oven shootin' movies with some brothers
Youthful stupor 'cross our faces, ayy, man
No self control on my own, alone in niggas to loathe when the money go missin', yeah




In my wallet, in my rib cage, I love love enough for comfort, knowin' money go
Knowin' money go with it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mavi's song Love of Money depict a sense of desperateness for financial stability and freedom. The first line, "No self control on my own, alone in," portrays a sense of isolation and helplessness, which contrasts with the following line, "N*ggas to loathe when the money go missing," indicating that the singer may have been betrayed by someone close to them in relation to money. The singer admits to loving money as it provides a sense of comfort, but recognizes that it comes with strings attached, as "money go with it."


The following lines, "I don't think exposure to this/ Cold is for a nigga, Boy/ I don't even know if all these/ Probes is worth bigger toys," suggest that the singer is aware of the harsh realities that come with seeking financial gain. The idea of being in the "bottom of the barrel" and feeling stuck in one's vocation highlights the struggles of achieving financial freedom. The phrase "youthful stupor 'cross our faces" suggests that the singer is still young and naive, but ultimately acknowledges that money is necessary for survival.


Overall, Love of Money portrays the detrimental effects of the pursuit of wealth and the emotional turmoil that comes with it. The singer recognizes the value of money but is weighed down by the consequences of seeking it.
