which one is worse:
not making dollars out of 15 cents
or slaving harder at a job
for more pennies to pinch?
either way you lose
in this game there is no first place
when you're broke
you're just a rodent
in the money rat race
all my life i've lived check to check
and now i'm impatient
my degree aint doing nothing
so that was 30 G's wasted
just to keep from complaining
i have to look at it like this:
i would rather have a plaque
then to get those years back
and have nothing to show for it
i'm trying to pass financial blessings
to the next generation
and give them so much more
to dream and live for
than just a job or occupation
i want my daughters kids
living off of what grandaddy did
instead of starting out from scratch
i want to leave them something to work with
i want my baby girl
to see the whole world
from the ocean surf of Fiji
to the Egyptian pyramids
so in social studies class
when students say what they've learned
she'll say "I took pictures of the Sphinx"
when its her turn
but my good intentions
don't make not-a-nan million
they only make for good conversation
i have to remind myself
to go get the wealth
and stop procrastinating
take it from me:
keep your 30 G's
and just learn this lesson:
...talk is cheap
and doesn't sell well
in a recession
SHOW & PROVE!
