In the song “Cash” Myah talks about the effect that money has on her life. She also talks about how even though she is wealthy that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have problems in her own life. People assume that because someone is rich they are happy, but this isn’t the case.
[Intro]
Looking down from my pedestal
Crown me the king of shooting low (oh-oh)
All you see isn't what you know, let 'em stop and go
Got my money that I'm free to blow
Looking up from my balcony (aye)
Castle walls are surrounding me, I'm free
Reminded that I'm royalty, but I cannot breathe
Money trees is all you see
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause what you see isn't all I am
What you hear you can't understand
Perception is just paper thin
Look past the surface, you'll see within
I'm more than
[Chorus]
Money, my money set me free
Money, I love me paper trees
Money can keep you quiet
Money can take a life, yeah
[Breakdown]
Wallet as thick as the tension here
Rubberbands hold me tighter than you, my dear (oh baby)
Money, my money keeps me clear just another year
Being broke and alone isn't all I fear
Got a mom and a dad, but this ain't no home
What's a mom and a dad when you're all alone? (oh please)
Rather drop every dime sell the things I own
Please put down your phone
Got a smile of glass and a heart of stone
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause what you see isn't all I am
What you hear you can't understand
Perception is just paper thin
Look past the surface as you'll see within
I'm more than
[Chorus]
Money, my money set me free
Money, I love me paper trees
Money can keep you quiet
Money can take a life, yeah
[Outro]
(Money, my money set me free
Money, I love me paper trees
Money can keep you quiet
Money can take a life, yeah)
Money, my money set me
Money, I love me paper
Money can keep you
Money can take a life
