Vous Pouvez Cracher (You May Spit) (In Cash Or Kind, You Can Pay)
Money is, no doubt, a necessity in our world
To enjoy it requires planning, discipline and toil
Apply mind, a balance, and working hands
Recall time, opportunity in the wind, blows like sand
Perseverance and hard work, a definite decision
Contemplate in advance for a long term acquisition
With self-indulgence, comes a long list of "wants"
Consuming lives, destroying souls, when excesses flaunt
“Just to have enough”, is the average man’s dream
But not when greed in abeyance lie plotting schemes
When life had fewer distractions men traded for needs
Today scams-destroying nature, even genocide are seeds!
Makes no difference, having a million or just a dime
As our lives go in circles and we stand at this place in time
Rich or poor, black, brown or white, you choose your way
Because today, tomorrow, one way or the other, you can pay!
*Vous pouvez cracher..Interprets as “You may spit”
This catch phrase means …You can pay (In kind, perhaps w/your soul; in monetary terms-
Large sums)
