(Intro)
"Look. You ever been through a situation, yall? Where you caught yourself in a tug of war between...."

"Love...Career...Love...career vs. love...career vs. love..."

"Listen up."


(1st Verse)
I always thought that success from grinding would help
but I lost myself in the process of finding myself
Now I feel like a machine
Career and love playing Tug-a-war
I ask God, "Would you please intervene?"
I usually vacate through a dream
Had one last night, about the girl of my dreams
As if I saw this woman's face before
Call me delusional, just tryna have my faith restored
cause before my success starts peakin'
is giving up on love really worth for what I'm seekin'?
My pride kills, me and her not speakin'
I feel like I just cut my fun shorter than a weekend
If music is a gun sport, at the least
Then what good is all the shootin' if I end up at the precinct?
Pardon the kid if I come across beastin'
I got career and love, I'm just tryna see them meet...ends

(Chorus)
I love you girl, but its just something 'bout the money
(Something 'bout the money)
I need it in my world, but your love is sweeter than honey
Now, why I gotta choose?
The career over love...Career over love
Why I gotta choose?
The career over love...
Now why you wanna go and do that, and do that, Hey?!

(drop)
Love? Money?
Money? Love? Money?
I love money.....

(2nd verse)
I need a hug for every industry challenge
and not one or the other, a nigga need balance
a jungle of snakes got this industry crowded
and crabs-in-a-barrel niggas they wanna see you down and out
I need a real love to fall back on
cause if I don't have a spine then my back gone
and if she doesn't understand then I'm that torn
between career and real love, am I that strong?
OK. I'm strong. But its stressful
The pressure of having parents being successful
A legacy will go to waste if a nigga let go,
to fall short of legendary status is regretful
If music is a gun sport, at the least
Then what good is all the shootin' if I end up at the precinct?
Pardon the kid if I come across beastin'
I got career and love, I'm just tryna see them meet...ends.

(Chorus)
I love you girl, but its just something 'bout the money
(Something 'bout the money)
I need it in my world, but your love is sweeter than honey
Now, why I gotta choose?
The career over love...Career over love
Why I gotta choose?
The career over love...
Now why you wanna go and do that, and do that, Hey?!


::fades::

(Bridge)
Feels like I'm caught in between the two
I don't know what to do
feeling like I'm trapped
caught in this situation
time is wastin'
I don't know how to act
Career...love...fear
yeah, I love love,
but I love my career...

::Drops::

(Chorus)
I love you girl, but its just something 'bout the money
(Something 'bout the money)
I need it in my world, but your love is sweeter than honey
Now, why I gotta choose?
The career over love...Career over love
Why I gotta choose?
The career over love...
Now why you wanna go and do that, and do that, Hey?!
