Money Stays With Me

[Intro] [Funky guitar riff and bassline intro] [Verse 1] They want my little numbers, my hard-earned stack of green For things that fill the landfill, the emptiest of scenes But my money is a soldier for my dreams and for my trips It's not for plastic trophies or momentary slips [Pre-Chorus] I see the shiny promise, the "limited time" glow But a stronger voice inside me says, "Baby, just say no!" [Chorus] My money stays! Right here with me! For adventures yet to happen, for a future wild and free! It's dancing in my account, a happy little sum! Because today, my friends, the smartest buy was "none"! [Verse 2] That jacket screams my name from its mannequin pose A fleeting shot of glamour, a debt in fancy clothes I touch the fabric lightly, then I turn and walk away My freedom's worth much more, and it never goes out of style, hey! [Pre-Chorus] I hear the siren's whisper, the "you deserve it" plea But my future self is cheering, shouting "Victory for me!" [Chorus] My money stays! Right here with me! For adventures yet to happen, for a future wild and free! It's dancing in my account, a happy little sum! Because today, my friends, the smartest buy was "none"! [Bridge] It's gonna see the ocean! It's gonna climb a hill! It's waiting for a moment that gives me a bigger thrill! It's fueling my tomorrow, a slowly growing fire! This choice is my true power, my deepest, real desire! [Guitar Solo] [Energetic, funky disco guitar solo over the main groove] [Chorus] My money stays! Right here with me! For adventures yet to happen, for a future wild and free! It's dancing in my account, a happy little sum! Because today, my friends, the smartest buy was "none"! [Outro] Stays with me! [Clap your hands!] Stays with me! [Clap your hands!] My money stays, stays, stays with me! (Yeah!) Oh, feeling good and free! [Funky fade-out]
