[Intro] Money talks in the dark. I don’t answer. I translate. [Chorus] Money talks when the room goes quiet, black suit clean but the soul stays private. Gold on my wrist, but the pulse went silent, I came from dirt — now the dirt walks behind me. I don’t chase, I collect what stayed, every scar on my skin got paid. They see the shine, but they don’t see the marks, money talks when it speaks in the dark. [Verse 1] I learned hunger from an empty plate, learned patience from a locked gate. No one opened, so I picked the frame, walked through silence and came back with a name. My pockets used to sound like shame, now every number got a colder flame. Paper folds, but it never forgets, every bill got fingerprints of debt. I don’t wear gold just to look alive, I wear proof that the poor boy survived. Count slow — let the paper confess, every stack got a pulse in its chest. [Pre-Chorus] You hear that silence? That’s not peace. That’s money moving underneath. [Chorus] Money talks when the room goes quiet, black suit clean but the soul stays private. Gold on my wrist, but the pulse went silent, I came from dirt — now the dirt walks behind me. I don’t chase, I collect what stayed, every scar on my skin got paid. They see the shine, but they don’t see the marks, money talks when it speaks in the dark. [Bridge] Money don’t change people. It gives the mask better lighting. Some sell their soul for it. I made mine expensive. [Final Chorus] Money talks when the room goes quiet, black suit clean but the soul stays private. Gold on my wrist, but the pulse went silent, I came from dirt — now the dirt walks behind me. I don’t chase, I collect what bled, every ghost in my past got fed. They see the shine, but they don’t see the marks, money talks when it speaks in the dark. [Outro] Count slow. Trust nothing that shines first. Money talks. In the dark.
