$=Freedom?
Chorus:
They say money equals freedom bro/
Make you question everything you know/
Is freedom really what you think it is/
Want to go back when we were free as kids/ hey
But they say money equals freedom tho/
You need a job to be just over broke/
Trade your time for, nickels and dimes or
Try to make a dollar that you don’t have time for/
Verse 1:
Life is like a roll of the dice, what they hitting for/
Didn’t get the message about the world, what’s it hidden for/
Always thought to myself/ that we in this just to help/
Then they pulled the rug from up under me, and ask me what I’m
tripping for/
Maybe I’m just different bro/ maybe I’m just pissed/
At the notion that it is ok that ignorance is bliss/
Or if you go woke, you gotta go broke/So for minorities/
putting your own first will never be a priority/
Chorus 2:
They say money equals freedom bro/
Based on a basis of a need to know/
They never taught you this in grammar school/
They just condition us to act a fool/
But they say money equals freedom tho/
Gotta change the way we thinking bro/
Go from consumers/ to connoisseurs/
Re-educate to become Entrepreneurs/
Verse 2:
In this day and age fam/ you gotta have brand/
All money ain’t good money, gotta have a plan/
Don’t let them take you under, man you gotta overstand/
The mentality, when everybody wants to be the man/
In a system based on how well you remember then regurgitate/
Wearing 2 brands in my day the called that perpetrate
Tell me how it feels to make a mil/ and still have higher ups/
Can’t express how you really feel/ they will fire us/ but
Chorus 3:
They say money equals freedom tho/
The way they talking don’t believe them bro/
No, they try to make it seem so necessary/
Can’t take it with you in obituaries/ hey
But they say money equals freedom tho/
The way they talking, don’t believe them bro/
Don’t believe them/ We don’t need them/
If you buy in you can’t defeat them/
Bridge:
Why he take a knee (repeat 4x)
Who the hell is he/
To think that he can disrespect my flag/
Nobody cares About those names/
You’re just here to entertain/
And distract me from my real life cause it’s sad/
Just shut up and play, (repeat4x)
We pay your salary, cause We are fans/
So that means we own your ass/
Chorus 4:
They say money equals freedom tho/
The way they talking I don’t even know/
How much it cost for you to sell your soul/
And when it’s gone will you even Know/ NO
But they say money equals freedom tho/
Yea you see em, time to let them know/
You want freedom/ cause you don’t need em/
Get your fuck you money. And then you leave em/
