You can't say that I really didn't love ya
There's a new new
New new Louis bag for every time that I touched it
Quit actin 'like I'm the only one to blame(honey)
Didn't hear you scream, no!
When you was trickin' off my money

Love that nigga to death
Go head and please that nigga

The Dream's song Love Vs Money Part 2 is an emotional ballad lamenting about the complexities of love and money in relationships. The opening verses suggest that the singer deeply loved his/her partner and invested lavishly in the relationship, evidenced by the frequent purchase of expensive Louis Vuitton bags. However, the partner seems to have taken advantage of the situation, tricking off the singer's money and leaving dirty laundry behind when they departed. The chorus suggests that love can be an elusive and vexing problem, which cannot be solved or mitigated by money, even when it is abundantly available. The later verses convey the singer's realization that their partner was not the right one for them, and the realization came with a sense of regret and sadness, as they were unable to save the relationship despite their best efforts.
The lyrics of Love Vs Money Part 2 might be interpreted as a cautionary tale, illustrating how wealth and material possessions can't buy happiness or secure genuine affection from a partner. The song highlights the importance of communication, mutual respect, trust, and emotional intimacy in relationships.
