Ryan grew up on a horse farm in Ocala, Florida. He moved to Nashville when he was 18 and learned the ins and outs of the music industry at Belmont University. He then experienced the management side of the business when he hit the road as a tour manager for Jason Aldean.
But management is not Ryan’s dream…entertaining is. He continues to perform and has done so in front of countless strangers-turned-fans across the Southeast. That's what having a voice that industry leaders describe as amazing, infectious and, most importantly, unique will accomplish.
His voice and talent are well defined in his new project, Dreams. It's adventurous in "Slide," heartbroken in "If I Didn't Feel" and unwavering in "Don't Turn Around.” Ryan describes this project as “everything I’ve been working for…it has my style, sound, and the positive message I want people to hear.”
What's Money
Ryan griffin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Two top tables at the best in town
No limit black Amex maxed out
With a 50 million dollar home
On the coast, with a boat
Two-tone leather in a Bentley Coupe
With the Picasso on the wall
Yeah, I could have it all
But if I ain′t got nobody riding next to me
Nobody there to share these sheets
What does any of it mean?
Yeah, what's the point of having things?
If I ain′t got nobody running through my mind
Nobody taking all my time
What's love? Tell me, what's life?
What′s money with nobody?
What′s money? (Money)
I could throw a party that would blow Coachella away
With a guest list bigger than the Sunshine State
Where you tell the butler what you drink
I got barrels and barrels of everything
Take a last minute getaway, flying G6
Straw top bungalow, Bora Bora
Sittin' on white beaches
Sippin′ Dom Pérignon like fishes, bitches
But if I ain't got nobody riding next to me
Nobody there to share these sheets
What does any of it mean?
Yeah, what′s the point of having things?
If I ain't got nobody running through my mind
Nobody taking all my time
What′s love? Tell me, what's life?
What's money with nobody?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
But if I ain′t got nobody riding next to me
Nobody there to share these sheets
What does any of it mean?
Yeah, what′s the point of having things?
If I ain't got nobody running through my mind
Nobody taking all my time
What′s love? Tell me, what's life?
What′s money with nobody?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
What's love? Tell me, what′s life?
What's money with nobody?
Ryan Griffin's song "What's Money" is a thoughtful piece about the emptiness of material possessions and the importance of love and connection. The song begins by listing luxurious and expensive items such as top tables at a fancy restaurant, a 50 million dollar home, and a Bentley Coupe with two-tone leather. Later on, the lyrics mention extravagant party planning, exotic vacations, and champagne on white beaches.
However, the chorus reveals the real theme of the song. Griffin questions the purpose of these things if he doesn't have anyone to share them with. He realizes that without love and someone special to share his life with, all the material wealth he possesses is meaningless. The song highlights the importance of relationships over material things and how love gives true meaning to our lives.
The line "What's money with nobody?" is a poignant and powerful statement that encapsulates the message of the song. The song is a reminder that love is the most valuable thing we possess, and it's worth more than all the money in the world.
Overall, "What's Money" is a beautiful and thought-provoking song that encourages us to focus on what really matters in life - relationships, love, and connection.
