Money Theory

To this man

It's never " only money"

It's time
 away from a loved one
 or a favored hobby that I never have time foranymore

It's a sacrifice
 for a loved one

It's a promise
 to myself or a loved one

In my ability to "take bullshit" from a manager who can't whoop me, and isn't smarter than me, is the proof of my discipline to provide for those who look to me

Every dollar I earn
is two minutes I spent away from my loved ones

I can't just "hand it over"
to some stick up artist

The time is gone

The money has been promised

Besides,
How can I get my children, my woman, to believe in me
 and that I am truly able to protect them
If I cannot protect myself and deliver what I've pledged

The time is gone
Promises have been made

This man's only option
is to kill or to die

Can't take time from your loved ones
And not give them what has been promised

Money Theory
Based on life facts

They believe in this man because I deliver what has been paid for with effort expended
During time spent apart
