Fuck You Money
Paul Cauthen Lyrics

Long as I remember people around
As far back as my memory goes, I've always been aware of the opinions of those around me.

Always find a way of looking down
They consistently find opportunities to judge or belittle me.

They remember my family name
My surname carries weight and history, often scrutinized alongside my identity.

Always talking 'bout where I came from
They frequently discuss my background, focusing on my humble beginnings.

Wouldn't give me the time of day
In the past, they showed no interest in engaging with me at all.

Never listen to a word I say
They disregarded my thoughts and opinions entirely.

Now they wanna act like we're best friends
Now that I've had success, they suddenly want to associate with me.

What a coincidence
It's ironic that their attitude has changed only after my rise in status.

I got fuck you money
I have financial independence that allows me to dismiss negativity.

Champagne and diamond rings
I indulge in a luxurious lifestyle filled with expensive tastes.

I got fuck you money
My financial success grants me freedom and confidence.

I ain't worried 'bout a thing
I'm no longer anxious about my circumstances or the judgment of others.

You thought that you would keep me down
You believed your negativity could hold me back.

But I ended up on top
Despite your efforts, I have succeeded and surpassed expectations.

I got fuck you money
My wealth empowers me to live life on my own terms.

Don't ever have to stop
I am free to keep pursuing my desires and ambitions without hesitation.

And that's the thing about finally having all you need
The true beauty of success is realizing that I have everything essential.

You can take your time
With my needs met, I can afford to be patient and deliberate.

You don't have to beg and plead
There's no need for desperation or anxiety when you are secure.

I recall a time when you coulda had all my love and more
In the past, I was willing to give everything to those who mattered to me.

But you couldn't see the dream in me
You failed to recognize my potential and aspirations.

You said I was too damn poor
You dismissed me because of my lack of financial resources at the time.

I got fuck you money
Now, my wealth allows me to push back against negative feelings.

Champagne and diamond rings
My life is marked by symbols of success and indulgence.

I got fuck you money
My financial success has granted me newfound power.

I ain't worried 'bout a thing
I feel no anxiety or concern about my future.

You thought that you would keep me down
There was an expectation that I would remain unsuccessful.

But I ended up on top
Surprisingly, I have emerged victorious despite doubt.

I got fuck you money
My wealth empowers my freedom and confidence.

Don't ever have to stop
I can continue to pursue my passions endlessly.

When people say I've changed and lately I've lost touch
I've noticed criticism from others who believe I've become different.

That I'm uptown, no longer down to earth and such
They perceive me as detached from my roots and origins.

And even though there ain't much now I can't afford
Despite my current wealth, I try to stay humble and grounded.

Ain't much changed 'round here 'cause every Sunday, oh Lord
Life in my hometown still feels familiar and unchanged.

We still fry in the kitchen, feet on the floor
We maintain our traditions and simple joys, no matter my success.

Now my show sellin' out on tour
Despite what people think, my career is thriving and successful.

Seems like every other city I'm in
As I travel, I witness my growing popularity everywhere.

I find another fairweather friend
I encounter people who only show up to benefit from my success.

Lemme tell ya what a country boy do
Let me share what I’ve learned growing up with humble beginnings.

Half a cup of flour, stick of butter, make a roux
There's a simple recipe for success, much like cooking; it takes basic ingredients and effort.

And if I've changed it's only lately
Any change in me has developed over time due to my experiences.

I've got just too much damn gravy
I now possess an abundance of comfort and happiness in my life.

Fuck you money
My wealth serves as a defiance against negativity from others.

Champagne and diamond rings
These luxuries reflect my success and the life I’ve claimed.

Fuck you money
My financial independence empowers me to dismiss detractors.

Ain't worried 'bout a thing
I hold no fears or anxieties about my current situation.

You thought that you would keep me down
You believed that your negativity would hinder my progress.

But I ended up on top
Against all odds, I have triumphed and achieved success.

I got fuck you money
I possess wealth that confers independence from judgments.

Don't ever have to stop
I'm free to continue living and pursuing my dreams without restraint.

I got fuck you money, honey
My success is empowering and pronounced.

Money, honey, yeah
There's an undeniable joy that accompanies my financial status.

I got fuck you money, honey
This newfound wealth not only reflects success but grants me freedom.

Money, honey, yeah
The prosperity feels joyous and liberating.

I got fuck you money, honey
I’ve achieved a level of financial success that empowers me.

Money, honey, yeah
Wealth brings happiness and a sense of freedom.

I got fuck you money, honey
My financial independence marks a turning point in my life.

Money, honey, yeah
Wealth is a source of joy and capability.
