about
After conquering the 5 corners of Quebec with over a hundred concerts in the past two years, La Musique Populaire de Verdun has undertaken the humble task of conquering the rest of the world. Guided by the iconic French artist Naâman, Clay and Friends travels around the globe, crossing the most sinuous forests, climbing the highest mountains and clearing the most inhospitable nooks in search of the mystical Moneytree.
True to their Montreal roots, their single Moneytree ft. Naâman marks an English turning point for Clay and Friends. This is one small step for mankind, but a giant leap for La Musique Populaire de Verdun.

Après avoir conquis les 5 coins du Québec par sa centaine de concerts donnés ces deux dernières années, La Musique Populaire de Verdun se voue à l’humble tâche de conquérir le reste du monde. Guidé par la sagesse de l’iconique artiste français Naâman, Clay and Friends, obnubilé, fait le tour du globe, arpentant les forêts les plus sinueuses, grimpant les montagnes aux plus hauts sommets et défrichant les recoins les plus inhospitaliers à la recherche du mystique Moneytree.
Fidèle à ses racines montréalaises, le single Moneytree ft. Naâman marque un tournant anglophone pour le quintet Clay and Friends. Il s’agit là d’un petit pas pour l’homme, mais d’un grand pas pour La Musique Populaire de Verdun.
lyrics
Who took the money from the Moneytree
One thing for sure well it wasn’t me
Burry all the money in a great big hole
Light it on fire that’ll warm your soul
I say
Who took the money who who
Who took the money who who
Yeah yeah
Who took the money who who
Who took the money who who
Smoking moroccan
Now I’m a martian
Dearly departed
Panties been dropping
My flow a fausset
You can get lost in
Freeman like Morgan
Shoutout my grandma
Young brown and handsome
You know the mantra
Life ain’t a mortgage
Help me remember
Don't you forget when your pockets get filled
Words are forever like strawberry hill
Who took the money from the Moneytree
One thing for sure well it wasn’t me
Burry all the money in a great big hole
Light it on fire that’ll warm your soul
I say
Who took the money who who
Who took the money who who
My bredda pass it to the left money trouble I shall let go
Them a better run
One puff to da one ya say the worries affi let go
Bill spicy, may I space it
Mi must make a son maybe the cash get around
I wanna trod and skip the problems
Keep the peas bubbling
Mi nah let a dollar get me out of my pace
Can the money grow as the love inna we chest
Whatever the distance I know well of his grace
God on my side and I question always
Who took the money from the Moneytree
One thing for sure well it wasn’t me
Burry all the money in a great big hole
Light it on fire that’ll warm your soul
Who took the money who who
Who took the money who who
Yeah yeah
Todadeduh todadeduh
Todadeduh todadeduh
I am not the one
I’m just a believer
