Talking To Benjamins
https://suno.com/song/af154eb0-c7ed-4184-bd11-ed4f80b9eb18
V1
Got a crumpled-up twenty and a hundred with a tear
Ridin’ in my pocket ‘bout half a year
One says “Spend me quick,” one says “Hold on tight”
Both sound louder in the dead of night
Laid ‘em on the bar like they’re old friends
Bartender laughed, said “That talk never ends”
Pre
One says “Freedom’s close,” one says “You ain’t free”
Funny how they both sound just like me
Chorus
I been talkin’ to Benjamins, they don’t talk back clean
One says “Live forever,” one says “Stay lean”
They lie like lovers, still tell the truth
Every dollar’s got a little bad and good proof
Chasin’ them ghosts in the ATM light
Tryin’ to buy a little peace I can’t hold tight
Post
They fold, they fade, slip right through your hands
Sound like prophets… for dead presidents
V2
Got a five-dollar sermon and a ten-dollar sin
Quarter in the jukebox tryin’ to cash me in
Seen rich men cry in a Cadillac seat
Seen poor men laugh with holes in their feet
Asked that hundred, “What’s it all worth?”
He said “Same damn trouble, just a different hurt”
Pre
One says “Buy her love,” one says “Let her go”
Both spend faster than you’ll ever know
Chorus (repeat)
Bridge
They got faces of men who ain’t met me yet
Still act like they know every move I regret
Funny thing is… I still ask ‘em why
Final Chorus
Yeah I’m talkin’ to Benjamins like they got a soul
Like a stack of paper’s gonna make me whole
But they burn, they break, disappear in the wind
Leave you right where you started… countin’ again
Chasin’ them ghosts in the ATM light
Tryin’ to buy back time I lost in the fight
Outro tag (1 line)
Still talkin’ to Benjamins… again

It's a cool idea. We all have an interest in money!
Like the way they are talking back to you too!
The chorus and verses sound very similar to me melodically. Would be nice to have a little more separation there.
