about

"Money To Make" is a song I wrote and produced during the pandemic. I began an Instagram series entitled Black Excellence Series Inspired by Ismael Rivera & Outkast. I am born and raised in Atlanta, Ga and I attended collage on the island of Puerto Rico at the age of 18. Before coming to the Caribbean, I knew little about the culture and the experiences of the people that worked and lived there. But to my surprise, there was a very strong Black community that had food, music and slang that I could relate to and understand as a fellow black person. I began to realise that no matter where we are in the world, Blackness is something that ever non-black person is gravitated towards for good or bad. And to see my people of the Afro-Diaspra be treated less than or belittle and everyone else claiming our style, rhythm and speech is something that didn’t really surprise me. The Atlantic Slave Trade was a trillion dollar business ran and organized by different cultures of Europe. By that being said, my research in the Afro-Diaspra of the West Indies and South America has led me to different Slave Descendants communities that we in north America are ignorant of. This song is an ode to all people of the Afro-Diaspra, which in reality all music in the western hemisphere is Black music.

lyrics

INTRO:

Night life can be a dream
I bet you don’t even know what that means
Juugin’ culture don’t know what it means
But we let them steal all of our things
Fetishizing on how we speak
It ain’t for you!!!!!

PRE-CHORUS:

They got money to make, money to make
Money to make, money to make
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday, PULLIN’ UP IN!!

VERSE:

Pullin’ up in yellow 24’s
In 2006 ya alrdy knoo
Got da White tee wit da all white 1’s
Tell me one mo time where ya really really from....
Got dat Got dat
(Weed laws)
Gas ya I got dat Gas ya
Why da world trash mé, ya dey actin’
Dey on LOCKED me up for 45 (45 months)
Ain’t never passed me. (Never forgot)
Ya my twin he got life
But dey rollin’ pass dat. (Innocent imprisonment)

CHORUS:

They got money to make, money to make, Money to make, money to make
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
All that money they know how to shake
Got all that money they know how to break
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday

Money to make, money to make
Money to Make, money to make
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday

Got all that money they know how to shake
Got all that money they know how to break
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday

Dollars all on me

VERSE:

Wondering why this pain
Why this pain still exists
Money is a strain
But dis CHAIN is lick
Damn we gettin JuugedNo Bread in da mist
