Make the Money Lyrics

Lyric discussion by claych 

Cover art for Make the Money lyrics by Macklemore

the song has to do with making music for the purpose of making music. He comments that if he wanted money he would have been a lawyer and tells everyone that if you want to be a successful, respectable artist that you need to make music to put out a message and not to make money. To him, it makes no difference how many people listen to him or who they are but just as long as someone is listening to his message then he will be content with not making any money
