Money Worries

[Verse 1]

You can lend me your ear
Or lend me a tenner
I’m at the end of my tether
In debt to my friends forever
I robbed rita and peter so I could pay Paul
We pray for money
While other countries are praying for rainfall
I possess no other skills
Man it’s only rap
Wish I was Biff with the Back to the Future almanac
It’s now or never time to die or swim
Can see myself going under drowning to the
Sounds of violins
If you ever feeling sorry for yourself
Cus' your borrowed ya wealth
Don’t bother with apologies it doesn’t help
The country is in debt I think about a trillion
That’s a 1000 billions like one million millions
You’re doing alright
The struggle makes you resilient
In fact compared to the government
You’re doing brilliant
Forget about your stress
You’re just an innocent civilian
Watching from the pavilion
You could be a Sicilian
Lending out a quid
And charging em a gazillion
Killing 'em and and beat your own people
Like Brazilian police
Money makes a man act
Colder than a reptilian
They want your money
Written in a book
Like King William

[Chorus]

I don’t really care for this illusion
I’m a man of freedom
In the midst of this confusion
They put me in the system
I got to keep it moving
‘til the next time I get paid
Money got the whole world
Going insane

[Verse 2]

And they money that doesn’t make you happy
You’re running round town trying to find money for nappies
Just a couple of quid will come in handy
To make you feel better
Instead of hungry and angry
Thoughts of stealing
Revealing your true self
A couple of new bags
Some shoes and few belts
Shame you got caught
Stealing from the boots shelf
Time for a honest living
Honestly the truth helps
Now you’re sprinting
Twisted your ankle
Now you’re limping
You might as well stop
You’re not the shoplifter kingpin
Can’t be Jay-Z with no job and big pimpin’
Like trying to write a cheque with a pen with no ink in
Need to go back to college and start thinking
For the ships starts sinking
Shit starts stinking
Day time drinking
10 bag linking
Living large but everyday
Your wallet is still shrinking

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Funny how a small piece of paper
Can make or break ya
Fly ya to a place of freedom
Buy you an acre
Every method of getting it
Has been tried and tested
From slavery to interest
On a house investment
Chasing cheese like a mouse
Got us tired
Worrying about the future
And how we’re gonna retire
For the P’s we’re really losing our life
And we get it, we worry if we’re using it right
A new bike for the kids or case of booze for the night
Drown your sorrows but don’t see the future is bright
Whether you’re a big spender or a Scrooge and your tight
The best things are free nature is a beautiful sight
I’m not counting my chickens
Trying to prove that I’m right
But I’ll probably go platinum
On the day of a nuclear strike
Damn…
Can you borrow me 50p?
