Kendrick Lamar - Money Trees (Lyrics) | that's just how i feel be the last one out to get this dough 

*imagine only listening to **4:00** and not the whole song 😳✋* Follow my TikTok: vm.tiktok.com/m8Q89S/

Man it's kinda annoying people judging others for finding this song on tiktok. Try to understand there are younger people than you and didn't get the privilege to listen to this amazing song growing up. And some people's parents came from different backgrounds meaning different music they play for their children. You should all just be happy more people can hear this gem of a track from one of the greatest. Better late than never

The phrase "Everybody gon' respect the shooter, but the one in front of the gun lives forever" is pure poetry, probably one of the greatest lines that will come out of this era. I'm glad this song is getting the recognition it deserves and I'm glad I got to hear it myself.

This could never be boring. Kendrick Lamar is straight fire on this track! Because he tuned into the short on my channel about how these rappers are making it big, now he is getting the recognition he deserves.

this song came out years ago.. im glad Kendrick is getting the recognition he deserves

"ya bish"

For yall who dont know, this song is about how chasing money or having money as a whole will influence your actions. Kendrick and Jay Rock describe their lives in Compton and how kendrick committed robbery and house invasions as said in the lines "from 9 to 5 i know it's vacant ya bish" meaning between that time he will rob homes when people are at work. Also the line "it go halle berry, or hallelujah pick your poison tell me what you doing" means that if you choose "halle berry" you will fall into crime and the dark path to get money. If you choose "hallelujah" you will not participate in hood politics etc.. Last thing, when Kendrick says "everybody gon' respect the shooter, but the one in front of the gun lives forever." Means that everyone recognizes who killed a victim but, the victim him/herself will live forever in people memories even though they are the ones who died. It also is apart of the story of "good kid, m.A.A.d city" which is the album that this song is featured on. In one of the album's skits/outro, Kendricks friend: Dave is heard getting shot and killed on the spot. Hence why he says that line. I HIGHHHLYYY recommend that you listen to this album and really look into each and every line and reference because in my opinion, this is one of the best hip hop albums ever made.

I had this song several times on repeat. Still a banger till this year.

I hate dudes that act like it’s a problem to find a song through TikTok, this a certified banger

4:00 TikTok joined the group 4:26 TikTok left the group

I’m the only one who’s not from TIKTOK

I remember when this album dropped. It was sick af 🔥 Glad more people are finding it now. Kendrick never misses 💯

Imagine only knowing this song from tiktok💀

Who ever skips to Anna’s part is missing out

For those of u kids who are here from tik tok; this song is about growing up in poverty in Compton. In order to survive u must do whatever u need to do in order to make money(drug dealing/robbing/rapping/prostitution) and provide for ur self and ur family. And such is the harsh reality of life

This song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Kendrick is a modern genius.. he is a true artist and I'm happy to live in the same time as his lyrical ingenuity

This is the perfect song for doing straight up nothing and just chilling with your thoughts

The lyrics is so poetic and carry meaning some tiktok ppl might miss the whole thing omg it's so good and artistic

This should've been in gta 5 radio

I don't usually listen to rap songs, but Kendrick always get me. Almost all his songs are about life, his lyrics make sense unlike some other rappers who's making raps without even relevant meaning and full of repetition.

I remember listening to this song back in my high school days, knew a few kids who can rap it front to back

Still vibing after all these years. This gon be known for generations.

I love how he's explaining the world behind the facade that rappers put on when they rhyme...talking about how much money they have and all the "hoes" they have and some people wonder why they value that so much. Money doesn't equal happiness but it temporarily eases pain and symbolizes making it out of their personal hell.

As soon as I saw this I clicked it cause I LOVE this song

This song is incredible. Kendrick always gets me in my feels

This song will forever be a banget. The lyrics, the beat + delivery on point

This song is such a vibe. I would listen to it 24/7

*the one.... in front.... of the gun... forever* fav part idccc

I remember hearing this song years ago, but not being able to connect to it. After seeing the harsher side of life, and lessons that have accumulated over the years, I can not stop listening to it. Now I can understand and appreciate the lyricism from both Kendrick and Jay. Before, I used to only come here for the Anna's part.

Yes, I may have found this song through tiktok, but atleast I listen to the whole song.

People just don’t know how good this damn album was for just anyone to vibe too. Me and my friends used to bump this is downtown Dallas when we were of shrooms. We listened from sherane all the way to Compton and the trip stopped one of the best times ever

People be like: "Imagine knowing this song only from tiktok" I'm just glad that tiktok introduced me to a song as good as this.

the flow is CRAZYYY in this one. such a good song

8 years what a old music and it's still alive one of my fav music

3:55 thanks

This song is a legend I remember listening to it in 2016 in highschool and now I love it even more

Still a banger till this year. Kendrick Lamar dun took off HAM ON THIS RIGHT HERE! a u t h e n t I c v i e w s dun took his career off 2 the next level fr fr no cap

Oh how we wish money grew on trees 🤧

I just randomly remembered this song. And no 🧢 this still fire

One minute of silence for people who still can’t find this song

This is a masterpiece, Kendrick Lamar dun took off HAM ON THIS RIGHT HERE! *A U T H E N T I C V I E W S D O W T C O W M* dun took his career off 2 the next level fr fr no cap

Been rocking with Kendrick Lamar for 9 years now to pimp a butterfly is one of his greatest albums if you haven't heard it definitely worth a listen

You can literally feel in the song the hustle it takes to try and survive another day in the hood. 💯 Compton baby ❤️

Damn I remember when all Kendrick had available were the mixtapes and EP he dropped. I discovered him in the 8th grade. His overly dedicated mixtape is what I heard first. He went by KDot in his previous mixtapes too. Then he dropped that album and now he’s one of the greats. It’s nice to see an artist doing so well when their earlier music consisted of them speaking about making it out the environment they were raised in and them not seeing they would make it so far. ❤️❤️

jay rock 's verse made this song go over the top !!!!

The song is more then 10 years old still a masterpiece

isnt this song like- 6 years old....y are ppl just finding it...

i know this song came out when i was a kid but i never remember hearing it? how have i not heard this awesome song😎

So I have been reading the comments and people are saying "it doesn't matter if somebody likes one part of the song, at least they know it's a song" Like bruh we aren't saying that your not allowed to like a certain part of the song, what we mean is that if you took the time out of your day to listen to the whole song, you will understand the meaning behind why this song was made and you could possibly understand what Kendrick and the lyrics means..

this song never gets old

I love how Kendrick tell story in every song with unique way

1:19 this part omg

I not even feel mad about a lot of people coming to this song from tik tok. This song is one of those you can vibe with anybody like no one cares this song is just that special

Jay Rock's verse and the build up is amazing

Its yall suddenly hopping on Kendrick for me

not sure why people think "tiktok is giving this exposure" when kendrick is one of the most famous rappers right now

this whole song is so good if you skip to 4:00 you're missing out

Fun fact: this song never gets old.

I dig the background. Fits real good with this chill af song

The songs really sad just happy that he’s living a better life now

Jay Rocks part is so underrated

And that’s that lifestyle we neva knew 👌

hopefully these kids notice the true lyricism and masterpieces that were put together by these greats. it’s a true art what kendrick, biggie, pac, em, juice, and so many unmentioned rappers do in their music. mumbling on the mic to make millions is not art.

Maybe it's sometimes good that tiktok gives these songs recognition. It absolutely doesn't matter if you're an OG. I personally listened to Kendrick back when Trickshotting in COD was still a thing.

why cant we let people enjoy this masterpiece regardless of where they heard or why they are listening to it again?

the verse is so lit.. I listened this for 2 whole weeks.. I can't go on my day without listening to this.. more song to release🔥🔥

"But the one infront of the guns lives forever" Best line

Lmao the new gen of these tiktokers are gonna find out about the greatest rapper of the 2010s through tiktok, im sleep

I love this song it has a such a deep meaning ❤😢

Any one 2024😂😂

this isn't what i normally listen to, but i like this song

I remember listening to this song in 2015 when my mom would blast it😂

listening to this while sitting in the backseat of your parents car driving on the highway in the afternoon or at night time was such a vibe.

Gatekeeping is so annoying. I didn't find this thru tiktok, grew up listening to it with my parents. Not everyone had the privilege to listen to this masterpiece. You like the song, you like the artist? Then shut up and be glad people are giving him the recognition he deserves.

This song hits different now.. And its sad ppl didnt know about this until now😤🤦🏾‍♂

the message of this song is extraordinary

Who else actually listened to whole song and still loves it cause i do🤩🤩

If you coming from tiktok, one thing. I dont want to send you any hate, but i insist that you listen to the whole entire album.

I remember my brothers used to deal on street corners and they'd blast this song a lot and I never really understood it with my Innocent mind, if they hadn't switched lifestyles they'd be all behind bars or under chalk. Don't feel you cant make a change people.

This song so nostalgic It's 9 years old bruh😖🔥

Ya bish ya bish🥵😔✨

This song was a staple in my playlist back in 2012, and has been ever since.

I remember when I was 13-15 I was in bad shape stealing money and when I listen to the song it makes me see I was always wrong Today I went back to the same

I'm glad tiktok helped some people discover this masterpiece

but the one in front of the gun lives forever 😩🔥

Literally all songs that from tiktok is a banger 🔥🔥🔥

I've been waiting for this

A good song is a good song, no matter where you find it.

I grew up listening to this on my buss eve day . The feelings I still get when I hear this is just amazing.!! Graduated 2014

Next level feeling song 😁💯

That last verse with Jay Rock killed it

escuto todo dia adorei

When the song said ya bish in the back my sis said very slowly ya bish LMAO 😂✨

Honestly as long as we really enjoy the song and its artist, does it matter where we first found it? Cant we just enjoy the same song for a moment like for goodness sakes 😭

3:10 ngl my fave part for some reason ;-;

lmao i like how most of them came from tiktok yet i knew this song ever since i was younger since my grandma always played this and some other one by kendrick on her speaker , it was somewhat annoying at first but as she kept on playing it constantly became stuck inside of my head to the point where i really loved it. 🐛

If you are listening this after 3 years, you are a LEGEND!

this brings back so many memories

what a throwback! Reminds me of the good ol’ days smokin trees with good company
