I saw Citizen Cope live this weekend and he explained the origin of this song before plying it. Cope used to buy and sell tickets in DC. He met this guy named George who was from Baltimore. He once asked George what the most amount of money he ever saw was. George replied, "$200,000 in counterfeit $50 bills". He said George was always making money but always seemed to be broke the next day. It was assumed that he was spending it on drugs.
