[Verse 1: Kollin Reynolds]
The other day a transient came up asking for change
But little does he know I'm out here asking the same
I told him life only gets better when you're pa**ing the rain
Too distracted by the woman driving past in the range
He said why does it feel I'm living in some quicksand?
Give me a penny for my thoughts I'd be a rich man
But all the money in the world don't make you sh** man
This misconception we're presented makes me sick fam
The value of a dollar is outweighing the value of our knowledge
Tell this to the youth and see how many make it to college
Look sir, don't ever have your hand out
And not expect these creatures who walk the street to smack your hand down
Understand that money is the motive
It's also the root of all evil, but I'm guessing that I'm the only one who noticed
It's what the world has showed us
But we don't get involved
That's why we're feeling hopeless
It makes no sense at all
[Chrous]
Lately I've been thinking
Dreaming, of things I can't make sense of
And I can hear them saying..
Hating, they're praying on my downfall
So when we face problems
We drown them in alcohol
Since we can't face them
It really makes no sense at all
[Hook x4]
More Money, More Problems
I feel ya
Why is love so unfamiliar?
[Verse 2: Kollin Reynolds]
Truth be told, I've never liked the way that we've been living
Had a crazy thought at 16 that I could make a difference
But who's going to listen
To a kid who still had a curfew
I tried to be patient but the truth is that it hurts you
It's been three years and counting
I'm about to drop a tape
There's like three peers who are counting
Down the days until my heart gets played inside their headphones
I'm terrified to head home
And see the looks on faces of strangers who had me read wrong
Little did they know I use the jokes that I said, only to cover up the thoughts that roast in my head
And now seeing me, and knowing that my lyrics are deep
They're just a product of my vision and I'll continue to speak
Hopefully reach and touch the lives of everyone around
Stand up for what we believe and we can meet on common ground
You see there's not much of a difference from me and who walk the streets
Cause really a little change is all we need
A little change is all we need
