let no corrupt word.... be spoken.. in other words....
Word! Logos!
Maybe, in other words, don't speak words to destroy but speak words to edify. Destruction is left behind in the rubble. Edification is not of that sort.
What People Do for Money
Divine Sounds
Selling their body, man
Shouldn't of even done that
(What people do for money)
(What people do for money)
A man came around in the neighborhood
And he promised to take you to Hollywood
That's what he said, he played with your head
And then he skipped town with all your bread
Got hit by a car, fell to the ground
And people all over start to gather around
And he was hurt so bad it seemed to be
But he was only down for the currency, huh
Ladies at the corner looked so fine
And man oh man I wish she was mine
I mean she looked so cute with the skin tight suit
But she was selling that body as a prostitute
Well it might sound sad
Or it might sound funny
But thats what people do for money
(What people do for money)
(What people do for money)
(What people do for money)
(What people do for money)
My man doing bad, commit a crime
But they caught him in the act, now he's doing time
And I asked him why, with tears in his eyes
He said I did it for the M O N E Y
Huh I got no money and times getting rough
I'm on Public Assistence, but that ain't enough
I got to get a gun and stick up someone
And Oy, I'll be sorry for what I've done, huh
A girl got married against the law
She married a man she never seen before, huh
And then she split, ain't that a myth
Cause it was all done for Citizenship
Well it might sound sad
Or it might sound funny
But that what people do for money
(What people do for money)
(What people do for money)
(What people do for money)
(What people do for money)
(What people do for money)
(What people do for money)
(What people do for money)
Sometimes it make me cry
(What people do for money)
Children growing up to see this
Teenage girls baiting senior citizens
I said tell me girl, what's happening
She says I'm down on my luck, so what the f...
I'll see if I can lay him for a couple of bucks
Three cards in my hand, one red, two black
You know red is making money, Black, you make nothing back, huh
You took a try and now I'm sorry
You lost all your money in three card molly
One dollar in your pocket, and now you're broke
But you're dying from hunger and you need a smoke, huh
You play a three to win eight to one
You lost your only dollar now you have none
Huh it might sound sad
Or it might soung funny
But that's what people do for money
Put 40 hours in at a minimum wage
Friday here, and you get paid, huh
And now you're paying the price
Huh you got to tell the story to your wife, huh
50 dollar sneakers and you got no job
Tell me how you do it when times are hard huh
You rob the bank and make big cash
But tell me how long it does that life last
Huh it might sound sad
Or it might sound funny
But that what people do for money
(What people do for money)
(What people do for money)
(What people do for money)
(What people do for money)
(What people do for money)

50 dollar sneakers and you got no job
Tell me how you do it when times are hard huh
this question .. how?
no past debt to repay.. must have been okay then, huh?
So.. a person had a forward motion going.. no debts, got out of financial 'pits'.. still had a good credit score.. The only thing lacking was a steady source of substantial income.. substantial meaning greater than expenses and others needed monthly, etc...
yeah.. he was doing okay.. these things were covered... So.. how? somehow.. it seemed strange to this person, too.. Must have been some 'loose' screws somewhere in his financial hopes.
It makes me really sad to think of what people do for money..
Got hit by a car, fell to the ground (victim)
But they caught him in the act, now he's doing time (victim)
Huh I got no money and times getting rough (victim)
I got to get a gun and stick up someone (victim)
Teenage girls baiting senior citizens (victim)
You lost all your money in three card molly (victim)
And that's what people do for money!!!
What's being asked? To not have 'money' or to stop the victimizing?
But what IF that is all I know of how to make 'money'?
huh? What age are we talking about? Not him or her.. You...
You see.. this is how I look at it.. Those who are 'well to do', usually has a social network of sorts. And if such a person asks such a question, that only leaves me to wonder what that social network could be. Now let's say that a personal 'friend' or a 'personal' spouse who wanted to get my 'opinion' asked this question.. Then it would be a question seeing to hear my opinion. But if for purposes of 'reality' the question was asked, I'd have to wonder..
This is a question that I'd like to hear an opinion regarding.. To either personal or to those with social networks...
What is it called when a mattress needing to be purchased for the home.. what is it called when the lowest starting cost(s) is at around >1,000 dollars or so unless you have a membership at a bulk/outlet type store such as Samsclub or Costco? And what is it called if every other mattress under that amount, not purchased from one of those mentioned outlets, shows to be more deficient than needing to have been purchased? And what does the person do when after purchasing the mattress has been downed a few hundred dollars or so and still with no mattress and with, still, no other retailer to purchase another mattress; seeing that the prices has not changed except upwards in all the private mattress providers?
Would this make you to wonder how any other person nearby might be getting their mattresses? Would you have preponderance that all others must have the funds available to be more than content; IF, what was stated of costs and retailers and outlets and suppliers, was, True?
So IF the statement given was true... then the only reasonable answer would be that all the others around would be able to sufficely be more than content and able; even financially, to not have any of the same concerns or lacks.
And given this, one could see how the independent earnings to each is at or above that basic mattress need.
I'm not suited for these classes of wealth; seeing I'm having a difficult time purchasing 50 dollar sneakers at this time.
50 dollar sneakers and you got no job
Tell me how you do it when times are hard huh
more less > 1000 dollar mattress.
And in a time when others are also being 'funded'; regardless of by whom, to do other wrongful deeds, such as terrorists groups and such, is it really okay? Is life going okay, really?
Are those the only sides to remain? The funded and the non?
Should we not hear from those funders' Funder?
Or would even they consider me or view me as over exagerated and over exagerating?
