Greed

GREED
The world has given me crown
Shameful and of thorn-I’m down
Here I’m I to be free and vindicate
Be my student and be educated


I’m desire of your craving heart
I am the driving force on earth
Why do you see me as anything bad?
I’m why a man wants to be a dad

The desire for a man successful at prime
The thought to be rich even without a dime
Greed is faith see it in that light and shine
Though cruel and evil in wrong minds

Far away I’m from the so righteous
To them I’m a crime so heinous 
A friend with the willed and covetous
Though sometimes their mind is ambitious
GREED IS ALL ABOUT WHO YOU ARE
