Bands
Significado: Stacks of money, typically referring to thousands of dollars (from the rubber bands used to hold cash together).
'Bands' refers to large amounts of cash, with each 'band' typically meaning $1,000 (the amount held together by a rubber band at a bank). It's heavily used in hip-hop and trap music. 'Bands make her dance' became a cultural catchphrase from a 2012 Juicy J song.
