"Funny how I used to pray for a chain until there's bruises on my knees"
In this lyric, Headie One uses a play on words as it’s ironic how Headie use to pray for “a change” from his previous lifestyle and now he is a successful rapper who makes a lot of “change” meaning money.
A Christian practise is getting on your knees to pray to God.
"Look what this money is doing to me (Money)/She wanted goals like Bey' and Jay-Z (Jay-Z)"
The phrase “relationship goals” is used when speaking on a relationship people admire to be like.
In this case, Headie's girl wants their relationship to be like rapper JAY-Z and singer Beyoncé's. The hot hip-hop couple have three kids together, and combined net-worth of over $1.4 billion/ The pair's names carry weight with their status.
"Then she got left emotionally scarred, little Baby"
In this bar, Headie alludes to the February 2020 Platinum certified single “Emotionally Scarred” from Atlanta rapper Lil Baby.
"Got a new n****, but she'll be back/Shorty said I'm unforgettable like Swae Lee"
Headie One mentions American rapper Swae Lee's collaboration with French Montana on April 2017’s “Unforgettable.”

Turn, turn, turn[Chorus]
They say the pound signs turnin' me crazy (One)
Just look what's it doin' to me
I put two hundred racks on his cranium and make his own friend wanna put him to sleep (Turn)
Funny how I used to pray for a chain until there's bruises on my knees
A hundred thou, man blew it this week (Turn)
See friends turn foes (One)
Then roses grew out my sleeve
I've seen the fiend nearly overdose, and I can still hear that voice in my dreams
Packs got flew out the T, no one was rootin' for me
They should make a movie of me, musical lyrical on me
Look what this money is doing to me[Verse 1]
Look what this money is doing to me (Money)
She wanted goals like Bey' and Jay-Z (Jay-Z)
Then she got left emotionally scarred, little Baby
I make this money, this money don't make me
Gotta chase money 'cah pussy don't pay me
Got a new n****, but she'll be back
Shorty said I'm unforgettable like Swae Lee
The pound sign amaze me
Look what it's doin' to me
I just go flood the whole block with trainers
One was velcro, the rest had laces
Somebody on job could have got a facelift (One)
'Cause the stupidity
And my label love the lucrative me
So next time I want ten milli, that's a platinum pay cheque
New opp block, the neighbours don't know my name yet
But they know there's trade
Don't know how shh-shh didn't turn flavours
It really could have went the gelato way
Need one hundred mill before I touch my grave
I pray, I pray (Money)
Until then, I'm on work bro, night shift, day shift, night shift, day[Chorus]
They say the pound signs turnin' me crazy (One)
Just look what's it doin' to me
I put two hundred racks on his cranium and make his own friend wanna put him to sleep (Turn)
Funny how I used to pray for a chain until there's bruises on my knees
A hundred thou, man blew it this week (Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn)
See friends turn foes (One)
Then roses grew out my sleeve
I've seen the fiend nearly overdose, and I can still hear that voice in my dreams
Packs got flew out the T, no one was rootin' for me
They should make a movie of me, musical lyrical on me
Look what this money is doing to me[Verse 2]
Pops said this money is ruinin' me (Turn, turn, told me turn, yeah)
My pops said this money is ruinin' me
My new ting Cuba ain't cuter than me
And even though she ain't ten-ten
It's the inner beauty for me
How many times did I bring that wraps to boil
The T-house brought out the Susan in me
Drug squad bootin' off the bando door
They found nothin' 'bout n***** and failed
Done years in the can, now I'm free (Free up)
Took the PWITS to the chest but you know for the works had to turn on the the plea
They would have threw away the key (Ah)
Two hundred racks for a show
Three years ago, I would do it for free
Not to long, I was kway up north
875 what I took for that 'teenth
Had to chase this money all through my teens, now this money chase me
Ah, this paper long, ain't comin' in free[Chorus]
They say the pound signs turnin' me crazy (One)
Just look what's it doin' to me
I put two hundred racks on his cranium and make his own friend wanna put him to sleep (Turn)
Funny how I used to pray for a chain until there's bruises on my knees
A hundred thou, man blew it this week (Turn)
See friends turn foes (One)
Then roses grew out my sleeve
I've seen the fiend nearly overdose, and I can still hear that voice in my dreams
Packs got flew out the T, no one was rootin' for me
They should make a movie of me, musical lyrical on me
Look what this money is doing to me[Outro]
Look what this money is doing to me
