[Chorus]
The chorus is Kamer’s confession of how making money became his first love, something he found purpose and stability in.

[Verse 1]
In this verse, Kamer talks about the struggles he faces and the competition he sees around him. Others may joke or play around, but for him, it’s a serious journey to secure his own home and stability.
