This line is simply a continuation to the last one. I’m saying that I’d rather spend a night having fun with my friends, than be out spending all of my family’s hard earned money. I’d rather lay low and enjoy the little things in life, than to go out searching for ways to spend money and acquire nothing but emptiness.

I’m not trying to say that all. The simple fact that I admit owning a debit card shows that I am economically confortable. What I’m trying to say in this statement is that although I may have money, that is not necessarily what brings me happiness. I’d much rather spend a night with my friends drinking beers and talking instead of spending money on nights clubs and expensive clothing. I never tried to say or even imply that I’m “ghetto” or “hood”, because I’m not, and that’s clear from the video. All I’m trying to say is that money doesn’t buy happiness.

They = The Industry/Labels/Executives

This entire verse is simply a reflection of my contradicting personality. Although on one side I do want to make the music I like, and discuss the topics I feel are relevant to me, I still want to succeed in the industry. The statement you are referring to is a joke that plays on that one emotion — one side of me wants to stay true, while another is ready to change and adapt to the industries standards. The line said right before this one sets a common ground for which my joke stands on, I don’t quite know if I’ll sell out or not. As for now I won’t, but who knows what will happen in a few years if I manage to develop a buzz. I’m trying to be honest to myself and everyone who listens to me; for that reason I avoid screaming clichés and corny sentences such as “I’ll never change!” because I don’t know if I’ll be able to live up to those words. I’m only seventeen and I have a life ahead of me, I might even stop rapping in a couple of years (although very unlikely)

When I used the word “money” I simply used it as a symbol of everything that comes accompanied by fame. I’m afraid that if I ever become famous I’ll change, not specifically getting money
