I'm having a difficult time understanding this song. Is the girl "dolla bill" a symbol for money, or ? Interpretations anyone?

$ is the attitude one has when they go out with or are looking for fun and good times.

$ is attitude/confidence/self-assurance/knowing/comfortable


in "Players" by John Farvue(sp?)...Vince's character says it constantly..."U're money baby...u're money!"

I Love this song. I take it 4 face value. It's nice when Ur spirit dances in jeans and a T-shirt, but dressing to the 9's, can make her a little better of a dancer in his little world. cool

I just think of it as a stripper song. Tuck a buck and all that.

2 me I c Its about paying for a false sense of love, Being cool and acting a fool n imitating music as ur life. If ur "Gansta" copin a lean ur gonna 2 get a "Shorty" 2 dance for u like in a music video there is no true love or honor in it. It's a false sense of playing out what u see instead of keepin it real...Like in the Old School where a man would court a lady for her hand n affection, it wasn't bout paying.. $ for Love n Affection..People were themselves and being unique was cool, an individual not a Label, Style, Genre. If there were people 2 admire they were doing rightous things like Peaceful marches instead of drive bys n the like... I say its a call 2 WAKE UP and decide, be AWARE of who we r supporting musicaly and what artists give back and care about hummanity.. I c it goes 2 those with + and who care about where the $ they make goes.. Instead of the Bling it provides for the EGO... I say it starts in US we r the 1's payin the bills and supporting that which will flourish or not... They need us we don't need them and that's the trick n deception.

Maybe sometimes P wants to dance and or watch dancers without playing with the band. The way we spend $'s to hear him, he might sometimes just like to use $'s to watch dancers dancing jig dance... where happiness sometimes is.
