Economy


I'm not the richest n-gga,

But I save my money.

I don't live in the best house,

But I make the best of it.

I started lower than I am now,

But I grew up to become me.

I wisely use my money.

I wisely tell my financial status.

I wisely make the best out of what I have.

I don't live in the projects.

I am not lower class.

My income is not Lower.

I don't ask other friends and family for money.

I am not inconsiderate.

I put others before  me and work hard for what I want or have.

You can make money,

But can you keep it?

You can make more friends,

But who would really be with it.

Wealth is a curse,

Attracts hos

And creates foes.

But I don't say much,

I keep my money where my wallet is.

My teacher did always told me to keep my eyes on my own paper.

She wasn't kidding.
