More Onus Negatively Expending You

"M.O.N.E.Y"

Dreaming & scheming for that cream/
sweet it seems until you understand what it means/
getting green by any means even if it demeans your personal creed/
from the greed, money got plenty on their knees/
bending over seeking keys/ to unlock the mysteries on how to make G's/
lost in the pursuit of trees/ forgetting what it means to be free/
living successfully/ excessively blessed, incessantly stressed/
while remaining contemptuously depressed/
the aim of life, missed the target/ losing the mark to the markets/
my main call to reform - let's spark it/
the creation of man being enslaved by the creation of his hands/
dictated by supply & demand/ while the power lies in only a few hands/
change, this time we demand/ not speaking of nickels & dimes/
my rhymes raise awareness to change the fickle times/
it's time to break free of the webs and nets they set/
here's a reality check for your set/ they got jacuzzis for their pets/
while cruising in private jets/ got the rest of us trapped in endless debt/
private banks funding privates in tanks/killing primates giving thanks to their god in other states/
labels are mistakes but the bigger the steaks, the higher the stakes/
justification for rape/ concealing truth with duct tape/


DOD sendin out private militaries/
PMCs equipped with TNT in foreign GMTs/
paid for by tax-payer monies/ yet their own pockets remain empty/
charity assets freezed/ conspirators get seized/ all in the name of liberty/
God bless the land like a sneeze/ sleezey industries being kept hidden under sleeves/
righteous misconstrued as thieves/ falsely charged with mass degrees/
money buy bullets of strays killing babies cuz they didn't go straight/
like the KKK/ funding fanatics to spray their AKs at the human race/
a human waste - drug addicts snatch off your purse and smack you in the face/
all for some quick change, money change the game plan/
the gold rush had plenty people leaving the main land/
all for the loot, less labor for your fruit/
forgetting the fruit's not as sweet if your teeth are accustomed to juice/


Rape and sodomy the profit of the economy/
studying the hoes' anatomy while committing blasphemy/
money makes it all happen but dare I still seek autonomy/
Ptolemy would say its astronomy the way they got you seeing stars/
bedazzled by these cars while checks are spent on countless wars/
government funding projects to build bombs/
just to drop it on the projects and kill your mom/
what is the meaning of disowning Uncle Sam and Uncle Tom?/
need to change this philosophy before somebody drops me/
but can it be? if a seed can grow from an apple-tree/
I got a seed of hope in the canopy to replace your apathy/
how to fix this madness and make some monetary reform/
surely one day this type of thinking will be the norm/
but until that day I'll continue to preach and roam/
never seeking home/ spread my gospel like Jesus did about the Caesar in Rome/
let it be known, that I tried to help the people
have it written on my tombstone/
so next time you look at that paper, look it in the face/
don't let a piece of paper lead you to disgrace/
time, there's none to waste/ join us in having the system replaced/
So listen to what I say and I hope you took notes sonny/
don't be fooled by what you see just cuz greed got them acting like dummies/
Remember my words and what I say honey/
all of this vanity was caused by M.O.N.E.Y
