Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We count our dollars, everyday
We stack this money, our own way
And we can lose it all and baby get it right back
Make a couple dollars then we blow it like that
Then we blow it like that, c'mon

Then we blow it like that, that
Then we blow it like that, that

We count our dollars, everyday
We stack this money, our own way
And we can lose it all and baby get it right back
Make a couple dollars then we blow it like that
We count our dollars, everyday

And we can lose it all and baby get it right back
Make a couple dollars then we blow it like that
Then we blow it like that, c'mon

Then we blow it like that, that
Then we blow it like that, that

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Dollars" by Crankdat are about the carefree and reckless attitude towards money that some people have. The artists talk about counting and stacking their dollars every day but also describe blowing it all away in a single night, only to make a couple of dollars and repeat the cycle all over again. They do not seem to be too worried about losing all the money because they believe they can easily get it right back. The repetition of the line "Then we blow it like that, c'mon" emphasizes this devil-may-care attitude.

The overall tone of the song is fun and light-hearted, with a catchy beat and repetitive chorus that make it easy to dance to. However, it also highlights the tendency of some people to live beyond their means and not worry about the consequences of their actions. The lyrics suggest that the artists are living in the moment and enjoying their lives to the fullest, but it also leaves a subtle message about the importance of financial responsibility.
