Riches


It must be nice to have so much cash Have nice houses and a car to flash Spend and spend, its forever endless Stay popular and never be friendless That's cool that you have all that cash But next to your house is a man in the trash Searching for food to feed him for three days He lives in the alley while you just got paid You pass by every day and never look his way While he sits, starves and always prays You love your life and you think you're the king With your gold chains and your diamond earring Only caring for yourself and what you have to shine But the 53 year old man just so happens to be blind While your life is perfect someone else's is not You see that man every day and left him there to rot You should feel horrible and also ashamed But your head is too big and all you look at is the fame That man starved for days and eventually he died You drive pass every day and look at the spot in which he lied You could've saved that man but yet you didn't care All that money you have and you could not have shared Now that you see he is gone, you want to feel bad Where was all of that when that man was sad? Slowly but surely, it starts to eat you alive But no worries, your money still will be there once you die
