Happy Monday friends, I was working out yesterday and Make the Money by Macklemore came on my pandora and was inspired to do a little calligraphy print. I am a big supporter of Macklemore and the truth/honesty to his lyrics. The hook in the song is “Make the money, don’t let the money make you. Change the game, don’t let the game change you”. Although some may not like rap, I really do think the meaning behind the song is great, so I really just wanted to share this with you today.
In general he raps about not conforming to the standard of fame and not letting greed or money get in the way of who you are. Now, I’m sure most of us who are listening to the song cannot relate to having such success as him, but think on a smaller scale within our own industries per say. In relation to my own business I want to make sure that as I grow I keep true to myself and what I do best..and basically never do something just because it may make good money. I always want to wake up and look forward to going to work..and the last thing I want to do is burn myself out or not be true to myself. Hopefully some of you can relate to this too and feel free to share on!
I like the calligraphy. I originally heard that line in the movie Players Club.
Oooh, I haven’t seen it! I wonder if that’s the original source!
I love this! I think Macklemore is fantastic. This is yet another one of his fantastic songs with a great message.
