Money, Power, Glory Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Barracuda 

Cover art for Money, Power, Glory lyrics by Lana Del Rey

The way I see it, this song is about a woman who can be considered a black widow, an evil girlfriend, or an evil sugar baby. She doesn't care about love, she doesn't care about salvation; dope and diamonds are the only things that are important to her. She'll use and abuse any man to get those things, or as she puts it, 'take them for all that they've got'. The song begins with her talking about her current conquest, and his desires, contrasting his Godliness to her greed and obsession with power. Despite the fact that she ignores/fails the call (perhaps the call from God), she still believes that good things are waiting for her.
