Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why money ain't free?
Why can't you just give it to me?
I don't wanna work for nobody
I rather keep doing me
[Verse 2]
Why money ain't free?
Why can't you just give it to me?
I don't wanna work for nobody
I rather keep doing me
Why money ain't free?
[Verse 3]
Wake up in the morning with a frown on my face
'Cause I know it's another day that I got to fake smile
For people I don't want to see
Working at a job that I don't want to be
[Verse 4]
Breaking my back to the bone
With nothing to show
But I got dreams and goals
But as soon as I clock in, I'm ready to go
So there's one thing I got to know
[Verse 5]
Why money ain't free? (Why money ain't free?)
Why can't you just give it to me? (Give it me)
I don't wanna work for nobody (Nobody)
I rather keep doing me (Doing me)
[Verse 6]
Why money ain't free?
Why can't you just give it to me? (Why can't you just give it to me?)
I don't wanna work for nobody (Nobody)
I rather keep doing me (Doing me)
Why money ain't free?
[Verse 7]
Clocking in at nine to five
Got your girl hella tired
Why won't they let me be?
Now I understand why my mama always use to ask
Did I think money grew on trees?
I got these bills after bills and they just keep coming
Working overtime but my pockets ain't flooding
Yeah, my funds low
Adult life is ghetto
[Verse 8]
Why money ain't free? (Why it ain't free? Yeah)
Why can't you just give it to me? (Why can't they just give it to me?)
I don't wanna work for nobody
I rather keep doing me
[Verse 9]
Why money ain't free?
Why can't you just give it to me?
I don't wanna work for nobody
I rather keep doing me
Why money ain't free?
[Verse 10]
Tell me how the money ain't free
Every five minutes kids bothering me
They seem to think that money grows on trees
Always asking for allowance, ain't cleaned one thing
Sick and tired of my funds being low
Spent a whole bag on the groceries at the store
Got a little something but I need a little more
And I'm a single mama, you should already know
[Verse 11]
Why money ain't free? (Why the money ain't free?)
Why can't you just give it to me?
I don't wanna work for nobody
I rather keep doing me (Doing me)
[Verse 12]
Why money ain't free?
Why can't you just give it to me? (Won't you give it to me?)
I don't wanna work for nobody
I rather keep doing me
Why money ain't free?
[Verse 13]
Why the money ain't free?
Why money ain't free?
Why money ain't free?
Yeah
Why money ain't free?
