I Want Money '
Serge Ponsar Lyrics

Serge Ponsar's song "I Want Money" is a song that reflects the desire for more financial security and less of the difficulties that people living in ghetto neighborhoods experience. The opening lines of the song are sung with much conviction as the artist expresses his willingness to go out in search of someone, likely with the hope that their financial status might bring him closer to his desires. He then proceeds to ask if his subject has ever thought about how it is to live in the ghetto and manage to save what they have, while always having to fight for a better life.

The chorus of the song, where the artist chants "I Want Money", captures the central theme of the song perfectly. It is not so much that the artist is greedy, but more so that he desires to attain a better quality of life, free from the constant struggles of those who are financially disadvantaged. The song concludes with the artist reflecting on how he and the subject of his search have been "hanging together" and "feeling so good", therefore, it is likely that whatever relationship or friendship that they had was now jeopardized by this search for money.
