Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Feelin' stressed about money, scared to lose it
Seems I choose it, like bruises, self-abuses
Put my soul in a noose, it's got me
Stop me, drop me in the forest, take away my coffee

It's made me sloppy, non-stoppy with self-talky
I gotta take a walk, see
But I'm leaking energy, how I be…

[Pre-Chorus]

Come this way all day
I stay with no play
And go gray, but I say I'm okay

[Chorus]

Money, money, money, hey
Money, money, hey
New day, new dollar
Holler for the white collar, payday

[Verse 2]

I'm screaming mayday, save me, save me
In my grave say
Drowning, frowning over clowning
It's truly astounding

[Pre-Chorus]

When turning that around
Is sounding oh so grounding

[Chorus]

Money, money, money, hey
Money, money, hey
New day, new dollar
Holler for the white collar, payday

[Bridge]

I'm lost and found and lost and found and… so on
The show will go on
I keep my flow on

[Outro]

And so and so on, yo
And so and so on

Interpretation

Anxiety loop named out loud. Money is not just currency here; it's a nervous system regulator that's failing—self-talk spirals, energy leaks, identity grays out. The chant ("money, money") mimics cultural hypnosis, while the mayday/grave imagery marks how existential the stress feels. The turn arrives with grounding: walking, breath, rhythm, continuity. Resolution is not relief but persistence—losing and finding oneself repeatedly while keeping the flow. Emotional vector: pressure → rumination → panic → grounding → endurance.
