Lyrics

Verse 1

Counting crisp blue notes

Locked inside a windowless room

Thumb flipping through the heavy rubber bands

Twenty thousand stuffed inside a shoebox under the bed

Calculating interest while the neighbors sleep

My focus never fades

I trade the hours for the dividends

Building high a mountain made of dead presidents

Pre-Chorus

Money talks

Wealth grows

Empire rise

Stack it to the ceiling

Chorus

Level up the layers of the bankroll

Keep stacking till the paper hits the roof

Strips of green taller than a man

Watching every single digit climb

Money growing till it blocks the sun

Legacy carved out of currency

Climbing up a ladder of wealth

Towers of the cash won't ever lean

Verse 2

Portfolio thick and full of stock

Piling profit from the basement to the rafters

Business deals done in a silk gray suit

Every single nickel accounted for in the ledgers

Calculated risks bringing back a double return

Signed the contract with a fountain pen

Victory tastes like a vintage cabernet

Buying back the block because the hustle won't stop

Pre-Chorus

Money talks

Wealth grows

Empire rise

Stack it to the ceiling

Chorus

Level up the layers of the bankroll

Keep stacking till the paper hits the roof

Strips of green taller than a man

Watching every single digit climb

Money growing till it blocks the sun

Legacy carved out of currency

Climbing up a ladder of wealth

Towers of the cash won't ever lean

Bridge

Upward mobility

Vertical growth

Vertical gains

Rising higher and higher

I don't look down

Just add another row

Chorus

Level up the layers of the bankroll

Keep stacking till the paper hits the roof

Strips of green taller than a man

Watching every single digit climb

Money growing till it blocks the sun

Legacy carved out of currency

Climbing up a ladder of wealth

Towers of the cash won't ever lean
