[Intro]
Yeah — lights up, city hum, we don’t play soft (whoa)
Banger on the block, feel the heartbeat knock (yeah)
Chase the money — watch the skyline change
Chase the money — we rearrange the game (uh)
[Verse 1]
5AM, mailbox got paper stamps and prayer slips,
Coffee cold in a paper cup, thumb prints on the script.
Corner store receipts from nights we couldn’t sleep,
Studio lights at 3AM, where promises run deep.
Counting small wins, folding dreams into pockets,
Backseat of the cab, whisper plans and locket lockets.
Late-night elevator, key clicks, worn soles,
Every streetlight mapped the route to reach our goals.
Internal rhymes like lifelines, grindlines, timelines,
Pocket change to prime time — flip dimes into headlines.
(Ad-libs: yeah, uh, let’s go)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Feel the bass carve the morning, mind set on the rise,
We trade our quiet doubts for neon enterprise.
No shame in the sweat, no fear in the scar,
We ride the hustle hard and drive the dream car.
[Chorus]
Chase the money, build the legacy (build the legacy)
Won’t forget the grind, won’t forget the family (won’t forget the family)
Chase the money, build the legacy (build the legacy)
We write our names in light — this is our epiphany (whoa)
[Verse 2]
City echoes gossip, but we answer with receipts,
Late-night coffee stains and beat sheets, studio defeats.
Haters on the stoop talk loud — we let the work speak,
Paper stamps on parcels, packed dreams in techniques.
Chasing paper, holding close the mates — we elevate,
It’s for our future, not just for the rates, we cultivate.
From rooftop hustles to small-room breakthroughs,
Turned an IOU to proof — now the whole crew’s on the move.
Punchlines, internal chimes, rhythm snaps like a fast clip,
We weave the hustle into hooks, every verse another fast flip.
(Ad-libs: ha, aye, let it breathe)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now the lights get brighter, pulse runs faster, stakes ascend,
We pivot, risk it, tighten grips — this climb won’t bend.
No more steady steps — we sprint, we change the frame,
Urgency’s the melody, success calls our name.
[Halftime Pre-Drop]
Cut the beat in half — let the room feel the suspense,
Heartbeat, breath, two-step bass, signature motif (na-na-na).
Vocal ad-libs echo: (whoa, yeah, chase it!)
Build back up — cue the drop, bring the anthem back in.
[Bridge]
There’s a cost — missed birthdays, one-sided calls at 2AM,
Candles blown alone, postcards unopened from them.
But I vow — I’ll bring the harvest back to our table,
Turn the price into promise, every risk into a cable
That ties us close — not just profit, but reason,
I chase the money to buy back all the stolen seasons.
(Human vow: for you, for us)
[Chorus - Final]
Chase the money, build the legacy (build the legacy)
Won’t forget the grind, won’t forget the family (never forget)
Chase the money, build the legacy (build the legacy)
We light the night, stamp our names — this is our legacy (whoa)
[Outro]
Banger anthem — hands up, feel the momentum grow,
From paper stamps to par
