Scared Money
Nxworries Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My time ain't long, and it sure ain't free
If you gonna move at all, do it now, put that loving on me
Scared money don't make none, baby, talk is cheap
If you gonna move at all, do it now, put that loving on me

(Come on, what's the word?)
Do it now, do it now
Put that loving on me, hey (waste my time)
Ha, it never make none (come on, what's the word?)
All that talking, need to take some, hey
Just do it now, do it now
Put that loving on me, hey (waste my time)
(Come on, what's the word?)

My time ain't long
And it sure ain't free (ain't nothing free, there's no time)
If you gonna move at all, do it now (do it now)
Put that loving on me (come on, what's the word?)
Scared money don't make none (no, no-no-no-no)
Baby, talk is cheap (waste my time)
If you gonna move at all, do it now (do it now)
Put that loving on me (come on, what's the word?)

Hey, is it real or is it phony?
There's no need, no time to even be here
If I don't have to (come on, what's the word?)
Nigga don't you play with my money
I got way too much to lose, I swear to God
I might hurt you

My time ain't long (hey)
And it sure ain't free (ain't nothing free baby, there's no time)
If you gonna move at all, do it now (do it now, do it now)
Put that loving on me (come on, what's the word?)
Scared money don't make none (ain't never make none)
Baby, talk is cheap (all that talking better take some, take some, waste my time)
If you gonna move at all, do it now (do it, huh)
Put that loving on me (put that loving, hey, come on, what's the word?)

My time ain't long (hey)
And it sure ain't free (ain't nothing free, there's no time)
If you gonna move at all, do it now (do it, do it, hey)
Put that loving on me (come on, what's the word? Put that loving on me)
Scared money don't make none (ain't never make none)
Baby, talk is cheap (need to take some, waste my time)
If you gonna move at all, do it now (do it, hey)
Put that loving on me (put that loving, hey, come on, what's the word?)

Ay, yeah
Uh, oh, baby

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nxworries's โ€œScared Moneyโ€ revolve around taking action and not being afraid to take risks in pursuit of love. Anderson .Paak, who sings the chorus, encourages his love interest to put their "loving" on him, emphasizing the urgency of not wasting time or being scared to make moves. He even warns them that scared money doesn't make none, referring to the fact that being too cautious and hesitant might not lead to any progress or success. The second verse, contributed by Knxwledge, speaks to the importance of not playing with someone's money, highlighting the consequences of messing with financial stability.


The songโ€™s themes and lyrics echo the larger message of NxWorriesโ€™s album โ€œYes Lawd!โ€, which touches on themes of love, self-improvement, and taking risks. The track's instrumentation carries a funky, soulful groove with an infectious bassline, and Anderson .Paak's powerhouse vocals add another layer of energy and soul to the track, making it a standout piece within the album.

Silk Sonic might be hot and everything at the moment. But NxWorries has some masterpieces that I'm always gonna come back to down the road.

@UryneCayne

Silk Sonic is fire, no question. But yeah, 100% NxWorries is just something other than just music. โ€œBest Oneโ€ is from another realm.

Paak's role in music videos: reenacting the vocals, performing enthusiastically, energetic delivery
Knxwledge: straight chilling, smoking mad blunts, giving no fucks, conveying the 'silent genius' persona

@HouseofLazarus

Knxwledge's swag is so effortless, he's just... there.
