Observations

February 15, 2018
Celebs got money but dont help the people, That's why money is the root of all evil, Don't let the media fool and mislead you, That the rich and poor are both treated equal, Flint and Puerto Rico are under urgency, But they rather ride their yachts overseas, And it really hurts me to see, That human value is based on currency, I remember when Irma happened, They said they're helping Mexico how long ago has that been, Knowing how bad their situation is and tryna mask it, They rather upgrade and invest in their mansions, The rich skip paying taxes and regress, But the poor gets harassed by IRS, They want the rich to stay rich and want us oppressed That's how the system keeps us down and we don't progress
