Rich Girl

by NtsikaThePillar

Wine cellars, under a blanket reading the best sellers. A room big enough for you and your wealth. A car as expensive as a house. Classy lifestyle, expensive taste. Her breath mints, taste like money. Rich girl. Million dollar smile with one more million every year. I mean, Rich Girl, smile and show me your million dollar smile. Average kid, chasing a dream. Never known money, so he chases it blindly. A heart full of dreams, a mind full "get rich" schemes. Average kid, don't know wealth so he... He looks up to the wealthy hoping he'll get the chance to have a million dollar smile, with a background of only a dollar. Average kid, born into a struggle. Passed down from parents to heirs, every meal a blessing as the rich girl throws a stare at her salad. Rich girl meals are fancy foods, with fancy prices. Average kid who checks the prices for the next slice of bread. Average kid ain't known nothing but the struggle. Relying on the grind with a million dollar work ethic, and a $10 minimum wage. Reached the age of independence, scraping the bottom of the barrel, for a few extra cents. Average kid asks the rich girl for a dollar, and she say she don't have. Meanwhile, she doesn't know what it means, not to have a dollar.
