Background Story of “Wealth Flows from All Directions”
This song was released on August 20, 2024, and has become one of the most popular tracks by SKAI ISYOURGOD揽佬. Since its release, it has been widely covered by other artists and has suddenly gone viral on TikTok and other social media platforms in 2025.
Underground Culture Meets Prosperity Anthem
The viral hit “Wealth From All Directions (八方来财)” by SKAI ISYOURGOD blends gritty underground rap with traditional Chinese symbolism. Originating from grassroots internet culture, the track’s hypnotic chant “lái cái lái” (wealth comes) and references to jade pendants, incense rituals, and mahjong tiles (bái huáng pái) reflect a unique fusion of streetwise lyricism and folk beliefs about fortune.
From Gambling Metaphors to Social Commentary
Beneath its catchy hooks about lottery wins (liù hé cǎi) and poker terms (děng hé pái), the song cleverly critiques materialism through Taoist paradoxes (“scatter first to gather later”) and ironic boasts like “I spend money to make friends.” The bridge’s rapid-fire enumeration of auspicious phrases (“Smooth sailing! Heaven rewards diligence!”) satirizes performative prosperity while cementing its status as a working-class anthem—raw, irreverent, yet deeply rooted in cultural imagery.

wǒ men zhè de biē lǎo zǎi

Only when grown do they reveal white and yellow plaques

Devoutly bow three times
