MONEY

JaQuiondia Banks 1990 (MILWAUKEE, WI)



Money
They say money cannot buy you happiness
I say otherwise, I believe it can
The more money I have, the more I can withstand
The less money I have, the more my life is deprived
How money does not buy you happiness, when I need money to survive
I do not know about you, but when I lack money, my life is in a whirlwind
I get down and depressed like the world is going to end
They say money is the root to all evil
But I say it varies from people to people
Those that lack financial literacy
Lacks knowledge, so being broke is not a conspiracy
Financial wealth should be an ultimate goal
If you do not have your money working for you, you are living without a soul
Yes, money does change people
But does it really mean that it is the root to all evil?
If you ask me, it is the people who are feeble
All I want is financial wealth
It is going to buy my happiness to provide and take care of myself
