“Money” by Cardi B
“Money” is the title of a 2018 single by American hip hop recording artist Cardi B. As the song’s title implies, the lyrics mainly see Cardi rapping about money. She talks about the insane wealth she has created for herself and the glittering lifestyle it has brought her. And despite the great fortune she has at her disposal, she still raps about wanting more in the song.
She talks about Kulture too
Aside boasting about her immense wealth, she also devotes a portion of the lyrics to talk about her daughter Kulture.
“I got a baby, I need some money, yeah
I need cheese for my egg”
In the lines above (from the song’s second verse), Cardi tells the world that she now has a baby. Owing to this, she needs some money to provide for her.
FYI: Cardi became a mother for the first time in her life in July 2018 when and fellow rapper Offset welcomed baby Kulture.
In the song’s last chorus, Cardi talks about Kulture for the second time. She raps about liking her more than everything in this world.
