In T.I. Ft. Young Thug's song "About The Money", they both rap about the importance of money and the attitude they have towards people who try to communicate with them if it's not about money. T.I., in particular, talks about his journey from rags to riches and moving from Smart Cars to bigger and better things. The lyrics "I went from rags to riches to a feature with Tip" highlights his success and how he's now at a point where he is going fishing with "little bitty shrimp dips". The line "Quite trill, no Quik Trip" illustrates his calm and cool demeanor and how he's not interested in any rapid, illogical conversations.
The chorus "If it ain't about the money, don't be blowing me up, nigga I ain't getting up, if it ain't about the money" reinforces the message of the song which is the importance of money and how it plays a significant role in their lives. The line "I ride in a gator, my shoes are Guiseppe" exemplifies their extravagant lifestyle and luxurious fashion taste.
