In "Rather Get Money," DeJ Loaf reaches the end of a relationship where love has become control and complaint. Accusations of ingratitude and unfaithfulness meet exhaustion, while insecurity demands feelings that no longer exist. The repeated choice between loneliness and money frames independence as relief, not loss. Silence and anxiety poison what remains, and the plea to be released turns into a quiet declaration that freedom is worth more than staying.
Rather Get Money Lyrics by DeJ Loaf
How can I make you happy if I’m not happy and you’re not sure?
You think you said, oh, you want someone who can do some more
You want me to feel it all because you’re insecure
I’ve done all I can do
I can’t give no more
You said I’m so ungrateful
You keep complaining plain
About what I don’t do
You think I’m not faithful
You, you
Keep tryna hold me, let me go
I’d rather be lonely, I’d rather get money
Keep tryna hold me, let me go
I’d rather be lonely, I’d rather get money
Tell me how you feel, why you gotta show out
I can tell how you’re moving, we ain’t on the same route
I can tell you’ve been having some doubts
You wanted to rush, baby slow down
Toxic love, you poison me
I’m too anxious, you’re avoiding me
Break my heart in many pieces
You do these things for no reason
Communication silently
It chills, it’s hard to speak
What are you doing?
You don’t know what to do with me
Do with me, let me go
You can’t control
Keep tryna hold me, let me go
I’d rather be lonely, I’d rather get money
Keep tryna hold me, let me go
I’d rather be lonely, I’d rather get money
