Here's a few I'm using sofar:Money's too tight to mention- Valentine BrosI want money- Serge PonsarReganomics- Jonnie TaylorGoin up in smoke- Johnny G WatsonTight Money- Leon HuffCan't Afford to be poor- Dynamic SuperiorsWhat are some of y'alls favorite tracks about being financially unstable?Of any genre
