Lyrics:

[Intro, Spoken over haunting piano]
They got us on a wheel, man...
Running in circles.
Wake up, grind, sleep, repeat.
Chasing paper like it’s heaven-sent —
But it’s just cardboard dreams in a plastic world.

You spend your life for the luxury…
But who’s gettin’ rich off your time?

[Hook, Reimagined “For the Love of Money” Sample Style]
🎵 For the love of money…
People work their lives away…
For the love of money…
Ain’t no freedom in that chase…
For the love of money…
It’ll buy chains for your soul…
For the love of…
You lose everything for control… 🎵

[Verse 1]
I seen the hunger in their eyes — wide awake in a dead life
Nine to five on a slow drip, dreams dryin’ out overnight
Scrollin’ phones just to feel alive, flexin’ things that they can't buy
Livin’ rich in their captions, but inside they barely survive

Used to think success was a Benz with a black tint
Now I know success is peace — and most ain't ever had it
We tradein’ time for receipts, name brands for beliefs
We sellin’ souls on the cheap, just to feel complete

You stack it high, but what’s the cost?
You gain the world, but what you lost?
They sell you dreams, but never rest
You got the money — still depressed

[Hook, Reimagined Sample Returns]
🎵 For the love of money…
People break their backs to glow…
For the love of money…
But they can’t take it when they go…
For the love of money…
You forget who you became…
For the love of…
You just playin’ someone else’s game… 🎵

[Verse 2]
All that drip just covers cracks
All that grind just hides the trap
They told us work, retire, then die
While CEOs just multiply

Your worth ain't in your credit score
A mansion don't make life mean more
You miss your kids tryna get ahead
And when you get there, love is dead

They tell you grind — don’t ask why
Keep your head down, chase that high
But what if wealth was never green?
What if peace was the real dream?

[Bridge, Spoken, Instrumental Builds]
We broke ourselves for something fake...
What if the system ain’t broken?
What if it's working… just not for you?

[Final Hook, Bigger, Layered with Emotion]
🎵 For the love of money…
We gave away our time and youth…
For the love of money…
We blurred the line between lie and truth…
For the love of money…
It don’t fill the soul, just the void…
For the love of…
Don’t lose your life just chasing coins… 🎵

[Outro, Soft Piano, Spoken Fade Out]
Real wealth is peace...
And you can't buy that.
