Blowing Money

from The Bandwagon: Director's Cut by SoSoon

about

"Blowing Money is a lyrical satire that talks about the excessive spending of my personal finances during a time in my life a few years ago. It is my hope that songs like this will pave the way for a new style of "conscious Hip Hop."

lyrics

Vs 1: I treat green like it grows on trees,
fall time money bags full of raked up leaves,
they say, they say the best things in life are free,
but apparently somebody done lied to me.

For me, every penny earned's 2 pennies spent,
a one hour shopping spree is like too many spent,
but then again too many aint in my vocabulary,
like a thumbs up I need the one up on my adversaries.

My real profession, is bill collecting
I want a duck, duck goose Mercedes Benz collection,
a pair of his and hers compressors, impressive,
with the retractable stairs watch your step when you step in.

I got a, fetish for lettuce,
peeling off 20's cause you need money when you're trend setting,
I treat em like Ronco rotisserie I set it then forget it
by the time you get it I be on some next shit (Soon).

Vs 2: Look, I blow dough like the war on terrorist,
Christian Dior Juicy Coture for my better chicks,
fresh sweaters overseas got the better kicks
freshly stitched cow hide etc. Etc.

Look, who can do it better than this veteran,
the ice glow on tonight’s show call me Letterman
cheddar never been an impediment, check spent,
outstanding debts, F it I'm so American.

-I got a fetish for air dunks and matching fitted's,
matching stitching is tedious but I'm attractive in it,
sports jackets fedora's my glasses are exquisite,
it’s the museum of fresh, a mobile art exhibit.

A rare occasion if you see me wearing something old,
I'm SoSoon bitch! I dry clean my underclothes,
sneakers in different flavors bet yours don't come in those
wear em 3 times if you're lucky then I'm done with those.


Vs 3: Big spender, little saver, slow dancing with little paper,
living check to check the thrill of danger,
gold standard with silver paper,
truthfully I could afford to spend a little safer.

Its more than flossing honestly I got a problem
saving is a rare occasion I refuse to hold a dollar,
I could blow through a G easy no hesitation,
cause a black man with money is a bad combination

I got a fetish for, dressing impressive,
expending expenses on expensive expenditures,
spending extensive, amounts, accounts
that be looking so tremendous suddenly they get suspended.

Spend some lend some still paying rent um,
the black plague I like to call disposable income,
check come, check go now I gotta borrow like
lemme hold something, you gon get it back tomorrow.

Yeah I got problems, I know how to resolve em,
but some new kicks just dropped (did you get em) yeah I got em,
the moment I spot em, I dropped a bill on em
like Hillary Rodham now I'm back to the bottom.

Get a little show money, but that's slow money,
but I aint broke enough to get that on the low money,
the work for sure money be the easy blown money,
cause when I get a hold of it I'm seem to blow money.
