Dollar Bill

Money? Hush Chill baby. Sweet, honey suckle maybe Rich forever playing Lotto, what's more? What for? Liking the midnights laughing entertained By the thunder BOLTS clapping. Money? An extra favor gonna savor the Scent of a dollar. Always in high DEMAND. IT'S GOT THE POWER which most people don't It CONTROLS THE PUBLIC PROBABLY THE POLICE. Look a DOLLAR, THERE scream police please petrifying Possibilities. Money may cause some SAVAGERY. MAY CAUSEA BIT Of invincibility. Or even deaths as consequences It controls the SOULS of the powerless to the powerful All QUALIFYING say you would if you could Do you dare. Having it in your palm makes your heart pound? When we have it We want to spend it, lend it, control it. No, it controls, it is what you pray for. All we innocent TRIBES Fear the MAN with the most Who will hire a hit on who? Cold, the blood you spit. How desperate we must be. All worshippers of the sacred papers? It is so HONORED Would you ever risk, just how much would You risk for the DOLLAR BILL? Just the feel of a $500 bill. Do you get a thrill or a CHILL? Are you ill? Spend your money. That makes it better? Is MONEY THE ANSWER FOR ALL ILLS? THE DAMNED DOLLAR BILL. DOWN AND OUT?
