Money Trees explores the complex relationships people have with wealth and the pursuit of success. The song delves into themes of aspiration, the impact of money on friendships, and the fleeting nature of happiness, wrapped in Frank Ocean's signature storytelling style.
Verse 1:
Get the money, then you go on and spend it all
Got a dollar, but you know that you want it all
Counting stacks, as the hours crawl
Everything you do, just to feel so tall
Chorus:
Money trees, they won't grow for free
Plant a seed, wait for a dream to see
In the wind, hear the leaves, will they sway?
Chasing green, but it leads you far away
Verse 2:
Late nights, city lights, and the high stakes
Building fortunes over dreams, but what's at stake?
Every deal, every choice, like a gamble's take
Living life like a script, but is it fake?
Chorus:
Money trees, they won't grow for free
Plant a seed, wait for a dream to see
In the wind, hear the leaves, will they sway?
Chasing green, but it leads you far away
Bridge:
And the bills keep piling, no end in sight
Trying to climb, this endless height
But when the funds go low, the shadows bite
In the glow of gold, it’s hard to find the light
Outro:
Money trees, they won't grow for free
But in the end, what does it all mean to me?
Counting dreams as they fade out of sight
In the garden of life, is it wrong or right?
