Money Doesn't Sleep (Version 2)

Verse

Concrete pulse beneath the neon sky

City breathes with every dollar passing by.

Cash on my chest like a heartbeat in gold

Every bill I count is a story untold.

Skyscrapers whisper my name through the haze

Money don't sleep but I do.

I feed it, it feeds me back in return

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when does it end, this chase for more?

Is a wallet full enough to keep the door?

Something's watching from behind the glass

Is it gold or just the greed that lasts?

Chorus

Money doesn't sleep but I do

Living to count what I already knew.

Money doesn't sleep but I do

Waking up empty when the sun breaks through.

So let me stay awake for something true

Not the cash beneath my floor, not you.

I'm chasing fire that this gold can't buy

Verse

Traffic lights turn red where the rich ones play

Diamonds on their wrists catch what the light of day gave away.

I walk past the gate, their shadows in the dark

Mansion windows closed behind an iron spark.

Every high I chase ends up in a debt

Something's counting what my blood forget.

Corner store owner knows me by name only

Not the suit and gold — just the hunger inside him still

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when does it end, this chase for more?

Is a wallet full enough to keep the door?

Something's watching from behind the glass

Is it gold or just the greed that lasts?

Chorus

Money doesn't sleep but I do

Living to count what I already knew.

Money doesn't sleep but I do

Waking up empty when the sun breaks through.

So let me stay awake for something true

Not the cash beneath my floor, not you.

I'm chasing fire that this gold can't buy

Bridge

Maybe rich is just a number nobody owns

Every dollar folded still wears someone's hands.

I'll never be king of the table I serve

But every night I dance where the streetlight bends.

No crown, no mansion — just my own two feet

Walking home lighter than when I left this heat.

So let it all go soft like the city at dawn

Nothing built to last will ever hold me down

Chorus

Money doesn't sleep but I do

Living to count what I already knew.

Money doesn't sleep but I do

Waking up empty when the sun breaks through.

So let me stay awake for something true

Not the cash beneath my floor, not you.

I'm chasing fire that this gold can't buy

Outro

Let it go soft like the city at dawn

Nothing built to last will ever hold me down
