I HATE MONEY

I HATE MONEY

I hate how some people
are born into poverty
and struggle their whole life,
yet some are born on 3rd base
and go through life
thinking they`ve hit a triple
Yeah, and these are the same people
who as adults are still on their momma`s nipple!
I hate how the lack of money makes you feel
And how people with money
Think the rest of us should just bow and kneel
How it makes otherwise honest people
rob and steal
I hate how money decides who`s important
And who`s not
How respect can be bought
How money decides the plot
How money changes your lot
How people with the most money
call the shots
How money hides what you are not
And how money can make an ugly bitch look hot!
I hate how money effects our self esteem
How the lack of money
prevents us from pursuing our dream
How to make more money
we feel come up with these
crazy ass get rich quick schemes
I hate how for money
We`ll make a decision
That puts us at risk
of going to prison
and hasn’t your life gone seriously awry
If for money you`re willing to die?
I hate how for money
we`re even willing to fuck
How we`ll give up our dignity
for a measly buck
How those with money
treat people like schmucks
I hate how people with money
assumes that everyone
will treat them
like the Emperor in new clothes
That we`ll just play along,
kiss their ass, and help them feel entitled
I suppose?
I refuse to follow along
and be a pawn
The borrower is always servant to the lender
And I`m not running up debt
just to be a pretender
I don’t give a damn
what everybody else owns
I`m not living in envy
or taking out loans
You got the wrong guy
if you think I give a damn
about keeping up with the Jones
I will happily live in a cave
before I allow the pursuit of money
to make me a slave
And all this is for what?
….more stuff?
How much will ever be enough?
A new car?
A bigger house?....
The more things you own
doesn’t fill the vacuum
It creates one
1 Timothy 6:10 tells us
"The love of money is the root of all evil"
And to pursue it by any means
is to risk your own soul’s upheaval
Throughout history
It’s the same sequel after sequel
Money more than anything else
Is what prevents us from being equal
