Dolla Bills

Didn’t grow up with the fancy things
Never had a pair of Js or a diamond chain
Work a 9 to 5, never got paid a lot
Never driven an expensive car
Never had enough to buy a good guitar
Never take for granted everything you’ve got
Why is everyone so fixated on money
Infatuated with materials instead of life
You could never buy or simulate
The happiness that you create
When you allow yourself to see the light
Thinking 'bout these other payments
Fact of the matter I’m trying to save me
I ain’t eyeing these diamonds, baby
Glitter ain’t glam 'til it’s blinding faith and
Finding my way through the clouds
I been on 9, ain’t coming down
And if I fall, I’ma take my time
Cause that’s what life is all about, yeah
Every time I’m down and out I come back
Ain’t no regrets in me cause I see the message
My back against the wall, push off, move on, embrace it all
The past, just forget it, the present’s forever
Talking 'bout love but this ain’t it
Looking in the mirror, but this ain’t him
Gotta love you like I love myself
Gotta love you like I can’t swim
I was thinking 'bout these waves
Thinking I ain’t paid
On the world stage, I been looking real sane, oh
No one, can’t tell me none cause I’m focused
Pike up the prices on psyche, hmm
Ain’t really mean nothing
Ain’t defined by a digit
Ain’t succumb to a system
Never would suffice with a card swipe
Ain’t running through a band for these women
Thinking 'bout these other payments
Fact of the matter I’m trying to save me
I ain’t eyeing these diamonds, baby
Glitter ain’t glam 'til it’s blinding faith and
Finding my way through the clouds
I been on 9, ain’t coming down
And if I fall, I’ma take my time
Cause that’s what life is all about, yeah
Every time I’m down and out I come back
Ain’t no regrets in me cause I see the message
My back against the wall, push off, move on, embrace it all
The past, just forget it, the present’s forever
Life ain’t just about the dolla bills, yeah (The past just forget, babe,
the present’s forever)
Life ain’t just about the dolla bills, yeah (The present’s forever, babe,
don’t you forget it)
Life ain’t just about the dolla bills, yeah (Don't regret, ooh)
Life ain’t just about the dolla bills, yeah (Don't regret, keep moving forward)
Thinking 'bout these other payments
Fact of the matter I’m trying to save me
I ain’t worried 'bout these diamonds, baby
Fact of the matter I’m trying to save me
Save me, baby, I been finding my way through the clouds
I been on 9, ain’t coming down
And if I fall, I’ma take my time
Cause that’s what life is all about, yeah
Every time I’m down and out I come back (Down and out, I come back)
Ain’t no regrets in me cause I see the message (Ain't no regrets)
My back against the wall, push off, move on, embrace it all
The past, just forget it, the present’s forever
