My mama said
You need to get a job
I told her I'm an artist
She said how much did you make
I told her I'm just getting started
So right now I don't make shit
She said there you go
What the hell did I tell you
It ain't a real job if it don't pay you
Alright alright alright
So I'm up all night all night all night
Tryna make this money money
Money money
I did not know how to tell her
But once I did I felt better and now
She thinks it's just a phase
That I'm lost inside a maze
Little does she know Imma make it
Or Imma die tryin'
That's the mindset of any person chasin' greatness
Success is an iceberg and most people
Only see a small tip like a bad waitress
Situation is stressful
Got problems by the handful
My mama sees me rap
Thinking this boy is a damn fool
I love my mama and my mama loves me
But sometimes we argue
We just cannot agree
We clash we bump heads
Like I'm tryna get up from a bunk bed
But no matter what I always got her back
Me and her against the world
I poured my heart on every line of this track

So I'm up all night all night all night
Tryna make this money money
Money money
She doesn't know what to tell
The rest of the family
When they're asking her what I'm tryna be
She's just tryna dodge the question
And did I mention that
We had countless conversations about
All the other things I could do with my life
She desperately tried to
Put me on the right path
Already booked the flight
Told her I'll be right back
Just give me a little time
So I can takeover the game
Make a hundred million dollars
Let America know my name
Wow I know distance is a bitch
And I hate not being more present
For my little sister
Protecting her is my mission
Especially now that dad
Is watching us from heaven
