I just can’t believe what
some folks do for money
if they’re flat ass broke
they’re hopng they’ll get lucky
by robbing a bank
with a gun and a yell
in front of cameras and guards
that will send them to hell
taking hostages just to negotiate
while police bring in snipers
all over the place
all looking to shoot them
in their stupid heads
there ain’t no spending money
when you wind up dead..
Women marry rich men who
are wrinkled and gray
scoring a sugar daddy
with one foot in the grave
swearing they are his honey
treating him warm and chummy
kissing his mouth all gummy
man, that’s got to taste yummy
till they find he’s no dummy
when his last will is read
filling all of the rich dreams
that clutter their head
with a huge, sudden shock
and sad disparity
when he leaves all his
wealth to local charities
denying them
one cent of prosperity.
Or those sadly addicted
spending all of their cash
for a very short rush
that is gone in a flash
leaving them needle marks
when they get high then crash
winding up on the streets
eating food from the trash
all their hopes sadly narrowing
when they run out of heroin
it’s a drug no one’s sharing
when they’re hooked
no ones caring
selling sex for a fix
stealing all they can get
from their families and friends
just more cash they can spend
till they meet a sad end
in their shortened life span
from a bad mix of dope
with no chance for narcan
and it all goes to shit
faster then it began.
fasterthenit began
Money is very nice
but it’s also a demon
it’ll tempt you to steal it
until you’re not a free man
it will promise the world
and leave you sadly bleeding
money never was fair
when it’s gone
you’re still needing
all the ways it was pleasing
it has lured politicians
to commit acts of treason
it weds women to old men
for only one reason
to be a rich widow
when his life hits completion
and you can’t take it with you
someone else claims your wealth
when you become a deposit
in a morgue on a shelf
flat ass broke and buck naked
at that point there’s no saving
anything you once owned
you’d best spend what your making
have a ball…. don’t refrain
cause when death comes to call
all that ever remains
is just your remains
is just your remains
Yeah I can’t believe what
some folks do for money
and most of it’s tragic
it ain’t even funny
What some folks do for money!
