Yes, this is a commonly used slang expression meaning to earn money. "Bread" is slang for money, so it appears in many expressions involving money. It is related to the term "breadwinner," which refers to the person of a household that is in charge of supporting the family. Ex: Get that bread! (Make that money.) Ex: Lisa brings in a lot of bread through her side business.
