Jealousy


Jealousy isn’t just an emotion,

It can turn into a lifestyle.

He has this, she has that;

What you don’t know is that their dad has trial.

 

You may think, Man, I wish my life was as good as his;

That maybe I can get stuff half as good.

He gets every girl he talks too,

But he can’t even keep her a hot minute.

 

Like, why worry about what you don’t have

When there are 20,00 people in your city that are homeless?

What they would do to have a roof over their head

And you think that your house is too small

 

What's the point of wanting what someone has

You have what you deserve

Jealousy is not healthy

Spreads like a disease
