Money Talk


Money Talk


 

Money Talk

All this Money Talk

It’s changed the way I think

The way I see things

The way I see you

I’m not in my right mind anymore

I hate this money talk

The privileged really do prevail

You all prevail

Don’t worry, this won’t be the first time I’ve lost

50 grand, do you have that by chance?

I feel like punching everything I see

Don’t take it personal

I’m just in that state of mind

Angry out of my mind

I wanna see you in my place

I wanna see you wear my shoes

I’m just dealing with these things the best way I can

Don’t look at me like you don’t know me

Maybe you don’t know me at all

Maybe that’s because there aren’t a lot of my kind around here

I guess that makes most days bad days

I guess you can try to calm me down

But I’m up right now and life completely sucks right now

There’s a reason I’m saying all of this

White really does prevail

I guess I’m just on the wrong team

I’m losing myself in this money talk

All this talk, talk, talk, talk

I wish college was free for all

Money talk takes me away from my goals

Money talk takes me away from my dreams

Money talk will be the end of me
