Money On My Mind Lyrics – Jake La Furia

Money On My Mind Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
In this intro, Jake La Furia expresses that he’s not trying to pick sides or get involved in emotional drama. His focus is entirely on money. He’s not trying to waste anyone’s time, suggesting that his priorities are elsewhere, namely on wealth and material success. It shows his detached attitude and his intense focus on making money, ignoring distractions or feelings related to people around him.

[Ritornello: Rose Villain & Jake La Furia]
In the chorus, Jake acknowledges that he’s preoccupied with money, using it as a distraction from his emotional pain, particularly from a broken heart. Money has become his new reason for living, and he’s constantly thinking about it. He reflects on how the person who broke his heart is no longer part of his life, and now he’s focused on wealth. Jake even mentions how he could buy a new heart, symbolizing his inability to heal emotionally, with money serving as a temporary fix.

[Strofa 1: Jake La Furia]
In this verse, Jake reflects on his troubled past, where he had to run from the police, constantly on the edge. He had a dangerous lifestyle, dealing with illicit goods, and even though his mother wasn’t there to help, he called out for her in moments of fear. He recalls losing a friend, Max, who died in his place. He dreamed of making money and helping those around him, but now, his success comes with a heavy price. His wealth, represented by a 0,000 necklace, has become both a symbol of his rise and his inner conflict. He reflects on how the pursuit of wealth traps people in a cycle of desire, where even dignity can be bought. Despite his flashy life, he questions whether he is truly free or just another slave to money and power, echoing the struggles of his past.

[Ritornello: Rose Villain]
In the chorus here, Rose Villain echoes Jake’s sentiments, reinforcing the idea that money is on his mind and is a constant distraction. He uses money to avoid thinking about the emotional pain caused by a past relationship. He reflects on how money has become his new driving force, replacing personal connections and emotions. He’s buying his way through life, unable to focus on anything other than the pursuit of wealth, symbolized by running on cash instead of the harsh streets.

[Strofa 2: Artie 5ive]
In this verse, Artie 5ive speaks about living a fast-paced, reckless life where money is the ultimate goal. He dreams of dying a legend, consumed by thoughts of wealth. The reference to drinking beers and pondering life’s choices at 3:30 AM shows how he lives in the moment, always thinking about the future but never really deciding what’s meaningful. He grapples with the choices wealth brings, asking whether the good life is truly fulfilling. He questions his own purpose, wondering if the “beautiful life” he’s chasing is really all that it’s cracked up to be. The reference to drügs, money, and guns shows a life filled with danger, yet he remains numb to it, as they all keep pursuing fame and riches.

[Ritornello: Rose Villain]
In this final chorus, Rose Villain reinforces the earlier themes. The focus remains on money as a distraction from pain. The pursuit of wealth is presented as a way to avoid emotional turmoil, with money becoming both the goal and the means of coping. The chorus reiterates the idea that wealth has overtaken everything else in life, including love and connection. The emotional pain is masked by the chase for more money, which now dominates the singer’s life.
