Why Lie

[Chorus: BATAWI]
Money on my mind
On my mind
My Money on my mind
On my mind
Why lie
Why lie
Why lie
Why lie

[Verse: BATAWI]
Now These
Labels see Dollar signs
This shit just like I Prophesied
Want me right by them dotted lines
My shoes and suit and collar tied, naa
Y’all should apologize
Played yourself, I Qualified
All of my, time bitch bag it up
Can’t wait to blast this when I’m platinum
But before it all added up
Had a couple real souls who were down for me
Grandma’s roast beef right down the street, She
Can’t see, but she looked out for me, you
Turn pain into gold that’s Alchemy
The balcony, where you took a leap of faith
كانو طمعانين فيا جيداً

“They ain’t love you back then, let them people hate,”

[Chorus: BATAWI]
Money on my mind
On my mind
My Money on my mind
On my mind
Why lie
Why lie
Why lie
Why lie

[Bridge: BATAWI]
Jumping on this plane
5 am I’m on a wave
I just shutdown Churchill Stage
Bought us shots I can’t see straight
Selling all my merch
She look better in my shirt
Man my head is in the clouds
But my flight just got delayed

[Verse: BATAWI]
Knock, knock, knock, credit card bills
Landlord ready to evict your kid
Ma tellin me, she don’t need nice things
But if any body got it, it should be my kin
Next week she at ross tryna dress for less
Stiff upper lip till I break the chain
Hands to the lord for the steps ahead, but
It take more than prayer for your fate to change
Damn, feel like smoking weed
But it never helped me get the results i need
Nana crying on the phone to me
Got me thinking what if god’s just coaching me
Cause dad passed, I was barely thirteen
Teachers in class, would laugh bout my Daydreams
Pick love over money almost all the time
But these days real love be hard to find swhy

[Chorus: BATAWI]
Money on my mind
On my mind
My Money on my mind
On my mind
Why lie
Why lie
Why lie
Why lie
