Money Lyrics – Kolja Goldstein, Dú Maroc

Money Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Dú Maroc]
In this intro, Dú Maroc sets the tone by acknowledging the harsh reality of street life, where survival and success are the main goals. He states that they’ve lived their lives on the streets, and it’s the only thing they’ve ever known.

[Part 1: Dú Maroc]
In this part, Dú Maroc talks about the relentless pursuit of money. Everyone is chasing millions, and he questions if it’s worth it. He mentions that true hustlers will go to any lengths, even risking their lives, for money. He then meets the son of an oligarch, who comes from a wealthy background but is now exposed to the rough streets and culture. He shows him around the gritty parts of the city, contrasting their worlds and making the oligarch reflect on his roots.

[Domoj?]
Here, Dú Maroc describes a moment with the wealthy son. They’re in a luxurious setting—driving a fancy car, wearing expensive clothes, and living a life of privilege. But even in this world, there’s danger. The son expresses his reluctance to get involved in the shady dealings, but he feels he has no choice. Amid this tension, a woman whispers a bad omen in Dú Maroc’s ear, signaling that something dangerous is about to happen.

[Hook: Dú Maroc]
The hook repeats the ominous phrase “Your time is ticking,” with the clicking of a gun magazine being the sound of impending danger. This line reflects the pressure of time running out for someone who owes money. The constant repetition builds the tension, emphasizing the urgency of getting paid and the threat of violence if the money isn’t delivered.

[Part 2: Kolja Goldstein]
In Part 2, Kolja Goldstein describes the lifestyle of high-stakes hustlers. People are washing money and taking risks to earn millions. He meets the son of a hash farmer, who shows him the illegal side of the trade—hashish plantations. They plan to start their operation, traveling in luxury from place to place: from driving a Porsche to taking a ferry. The thrill of danger is ever-present, as they pack the goods and head to the beach, with an air of cocky confidence. The reference to “Day X” signals that something significant or dangerous is about to happen, adding a sense of urgency and doom to the situation.

[Hook: Dú Maroc]
The hook repeats again, reinforcing the same tension. The ticking of time and the clicking of a magazine are symbols of impending danger. The focus is on the pursuit of money and the consequences if it’s not delivered. The repetition amplifies the anxiety and the sense of inevitability in the dangerous world the artists navigate.
