The Means of Life
As a teen we all have dreams
Dream of love, happiness, and riches
To find Paradise
Everyone needs it, everyone craves it
You need it to live, you need it to find peace
Without it you're dead, with it you're king
I never wanted it, wished it wasn't a need
The hatred of power and greed made me weak.... They told me to make it
They told me to live it... Money.
Just working for nickels dimes quaters and ones, What was the point for a few greens?
I just wanted paradise without all the needs
Time flew by with only couple hunders in my means
Wanting more and more then ever before
Finally understanding why the power of greed, Isn't as bad as it seems
Using money to make my dreams. Yearning to live in paradise
Money and greed isn't always bad, as long as you give back to the ones in need
