And besides, "we didn't come from money" is something to be neither proud or ashamed of. If one didn't come form money, then they you should working on earning some. And if one did, the they should working on proving themselves to be something beyond the money they were born with, to earn their own success I mean.

Like you're looking into the song way to much. She's saying "we didn't come for money" as in we don't do the things we do for the money, we do it to live life.
You make it sound like Money has to be everyone's priority.
Living should be everyone's number one priority and that's exactly what she's saying.
With your logic, Taylor's comes off as way more pretentious in her songs subjects by around 110% more.
