Numbers


Isn't t funny how numbers run our entire lives
That we prefer quality over quantity
But yet we are so pressed over quantity
That the numbers in our banks accounts define our wealth
And the number of people you have in your family 
Will determine your help 
And the numbers on the scale 
Will show your pounds
 
And it's seems like time is endless but we are forced to remember history dates
And dates that are marked most important 
Like our birthday or expiration dates
 
That because she is 50 she supposed to carry a certain image 
That when she don't have wrinkles
She looks good for her age
 
A girl is characterized as a hoe
When she has too many bodies
But a man is experienced when he has sex with "thotties"
 
And when we go to the store and look at price tags
We determine whether or not we have enough money
 
Our life is portrayed by numbers 
Our time is count down by a timer
But we want quality over quantity 
But yet our life run by numbers
 
Ridiculous
