Classroom of kids, or a venue performing
If I'd done it for the money I'd have been a fucking lawyer

from Macklemore and Ryan Lewis (Ft. Macklemore) – Make The Money Lyrics on Rap Genius

He is saying that he would rather be performing his music in a classroom full of kids, or performing on a stage with all of his fans and sharing his struggle in life to help others, rather than get the money for what he does as a hip-hop artist. If he wanted money, he would have been a lawyer.
