Tekst piosenki
[Intro]
Good job, First
[Chorus: Post Malone]
Diamonds in my chain gold
Every 20 minutes, change clothes
I had a mil before the label
Just as long as they know, money made me do it
I said rest in peace to Bankroll
You in a better place, dog
You won’t ever see me lay low
Start the engine, watch me take off, money made me do it
I said, yeah, I said money made me do it
I said, yeah, I said money made me do it
Watch me, yeah, I said money made me do it
I said, yeah, I said money made me do it
[Verse 1: Post Malone]
Take a ride when we wake up
Hit the gas, melt your face off
Spend the day counting cake up
With a dime who think I changed up
I took the Lincoln down Rodeo
Ran through it like some Drain-o
Lot of bags, can’t complain though
We was shopping until they closed
Why did I do that? Did I do that? Ooh, yeah
New whip, now I can pay my rent, ooh no, ooh yeah
[Chorus: Post Malone]
Diamonds in my chain gold
Every 20 minutes, change clothes
I had a mil before the label
Just as long as they know, money made me do it
I said rest in peace to Bankroll
You in a better place, dog
You won’t ever see me lay low
Start the engine, watch me take off, money made me do it
I said, yeah, I said money made me do it
I said, yeah, I said money made me do it
Watch me, yeah, I said money made me do it
I said, yeah, I said money made me do it
[Verse 2: 2 Chainz]
Got a bandana ’round my neck
Like Bankroll Fresh
Pocket full of street money
’ Bout to count my blessing
One hundred, one thousand
100K, one million
We smoke, we lay up, we rap
We talked about a vision (switch it up)
I got diamonds like a rainbow, every time I change clothes
Shawty fucked my friend but I act like I ain’t know
I’ma buy a raincoat, the storm might approach you
Clown like your daddy met your mom at a circus
I do it on purpose, do it for the neighborhood
Smoking on that Meagan Good, with my niggas when I do it
Got that leather and that wood, got the marble on the floor
Got the burglar bars on the door at the bando
[Chorus: Post Malone]
Diamonds in my chain gold
Every 20 minutes, change clothes
I had a mil before the label
Just as long as they know, money made me do it
I said rest in peace to Bankroll
You in a better place, dog
You won’t ever see me lay low
Start the engine, watch me take off, money made me do it
I said, yeah, I said money made me do it
I said, yeah, I said money made me do it
Watch me, yeah, I said money made me do it
I said, yeah, I said money made me do it
Tłumaczenie piosenki
Analiza piosenki
Tytuł tego kawałka znakomicie oddaje sens tego, co chcą przekazać tu Post i 2 Chainz. Chłopaki rapują tutaj po prostu o swojej największej motywacji, o rzeczy która skłoniła ich do tego, by działać, przeć do przodu i pokonywać kolejne przeszkody na swojej drodze. Mowa rzecz jasna o mamonie, będącej dla autorów siłą napędową, popychającą ich do większości działań. Obydwaj uwielbiają trwonić kasę, pozwalać sobie na luksusy i kupować rzeczy, których zadaniem jest tylko podnoszenie prestiżu właściciela.
Kochają biżuterię, szybkie samochody, dobry alkohol i szalone imprezy, a w końcu żadna z tych rzeczy nie jest zbyt tania. Stąd więc pogoń za bogactwem, popęd który zarówno u Posta, jak i u 2 Chainza jest wysoko w hierarchii potrzeb. Może i uważamy materializm i miłość do pieniądza za coś niekoniecznie dobrego, ale jednak ciężko nie zgodzić się ze starą ludową prawdą, mówiącą że lepiej płakać w mercedesie, niż na ulicy. Niektórzy po prostu lubią kasę i dzięki niej spełniają swoje marzenia i nie ma w tym nic złego.
