Lyrics
[verse]
Growing up we dreamed of trees that dropped a bill each leaf
Sitting on the porch just planning our escape and our relief
Every corner had a story, every story had a cost
Counting up the wins against the things we lost
[chorus]
Money trees, we planted them ourselves
Watching every hustle turn to something else
Sit back, watch it grow, watch it multiply
Everything we needed used to feel so far, so high
[verse]
Used to split a dollar between me and my crew
Now the vision's bigger, now the picture's coming through
Every hustle taught us patience, every hustle taught us pain
Now we planting seeds that grow into the gain
[chorus]
Money trees, we planted them ourselves
Watching every hustle turn to something else
Sit back, watch it grow, watch it multiply
Everything we needed used to feel so far, so high
[bridge]
Jazzy loop keeps playing while the memory replays
Every summer evening, every one of those days
We ain't forget the hunger, we ain't forget the grind
That's why the shade feels sweeter every time
[chorus]
Money trees, we planted them ourselves
Watching every hustle turn to something else
Sit back, watch it grow, watch it multiply
Everything we needed used to feel so far, so high
