Blame It On the Money

Look at our daughters They now show no ill in laying with men old as their fathers Look at our sons Nothing is holding them back from scamming the green people with their bad brain and laptops Look at our mothers, fathers, the young men and alike; women, They now have no time for their own children, Everyone is too busy searching for just one thing, And that is known as MONEY! Why will a lady lay with a dog? Or why’ll she prefer to be known in the environ as a hog? Is it not just for one thing? They choose to sell their body? Why will a schooler choose to become a drop-out with no good passion? But he’s trying to boycott hardships and hardwork He’ll just join the bad gang And will receive money off stealing from the innocent man He’ll swerve off money from the fleeceable parents And to all their good, he’ll put an end He’s not retarded He just wants the wealth; in anyway it comes and at whatsoever cost, he cares less! Blame it on the money, What is ours is now owning us, And we still show no remorse, As even today, some of your sons and daughters are still singing this MONEY SONG! ©Emmiasky Ojex
