Maxo Kream Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you get some money, whatchu gon' do with it?
Put the money up, or act a fool with it
Run the money up, get rich with your clique
Or fuck the money up, go trick on a bitch
You should put the money up, go stack it, huh
Double up, commas and brackets
Holdin' bands but he not payin' taxes
You ain't really makin' money 'til you make 8 figures
Everybody want a bag, but they won't go get it
Tryna make fast money, but they fuck it up quicker
You ain't really gettin' money 'til you make 8 figures
When the feds caught my dad, only had one million
Should have had nine more, pulled up in the ceiling
Everybody want a bag, nobody wanna work
All the niggas wanna trap, all the girls wanna twerk
Everybody act hard, 'til somebody get hurt
Yeah, it broke his momma heart when they put him on a shirt
Put the bag on your head, then they put you in the dirt
Put a price on your top, what your life really worth?
Tryna get fast cash just to fuck it up quicker
You ain't really got cash 'til you got 8 figures
I been gettin' street money ever since I was little
Seen niggas at the store sellin' dope, drug dealers
Seen niggas checking hoes on the stroll that was pimping
Seen my bro kick a door, then I started kickin'
Gotta get it how you can, I'm just trynna make a livin'
Seen my daddy do a scam, came back with a million
Then they shot him in the hand, fuck nigga tried to kill him
Seen that nigga lose everything he have, shootin' dice
Ran off on the plug, ain't even think twice
Same nigga caught a slug, had to pay with his life
Everybody so cool, everybody got a tool
Everybody go to school, nobody doin' work
Everybody want a bag, everybody wanna rap
All the niggas wanna trap, all the hoes wanna twerk
When you get some money, whatchu gon' do with it?
Put the money up, or act a fool with it
Run the money up, get rich with your clique
Or fuck the money up, go trick on a bitch
You should put the money up, go stack it, huh
Double up, commas and brackets
Grown man on Instagram cappin'
Holdin' bands but he not payin' taxes
You ain't really makin' money 'til you make 8 figures
Everybody want a bag, but they won't go get it
Tryna make fast money, but they fuck it up quicker
You ain't really gettin' money 'til you make 8 figures
When the feds caught my dad, only had one million
Should have had nine more, pulled up in the ceiling
Everybody want a bag, nobody wanna work
All the niggas wanna trap, all the girls wanna twerk
Everybody act hard, 'til somebody get hurt

Maxo Kream's "8 Figures" is a song about making money and the decisions that come with it. The opening line of the song, "D.A. got that dope," sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, which discuss the various ways people can choose to use their newfound wealth. The song asks listeners what they'd do if they came into money, whether they would invest it wisely or blow it all on frivolous things like tricks. The lyrics also explore the idea that one is not truly making money until they have at least 8 figures (i.e. 10 million dollars) and the importance of avoiding pitfalls like getting caught by the authorities or becoming entangled in one's own greed. Throughout the song, Maxo Kream uses his own personal experiences and observations from his environment to highlight the hard truths about what happens when people get rich without a plan.
One fascinating aspect of "8 Figures" is how it plays into the notion of the "American Dream" and the belief that anyone can become wealthy through hard work and determination. Maxo Kream highlights the dark side of that narrative, showing how those who have no emotional or financial infrastructure in place to support their newfound wealth are at risk of losing it all. Additionally, the song touches on themes of loyalty, trust, and betrayal, highlighting the difficult choices one must make when trying to balance making money and staying true to their own values. In all, "8 Figures" is a sobering reflection on the realities of what happens when people make large amounts of money without a plan.
