Quarters and Pennies

Isolated faces paradoxically surround

Bound by wants infinity

I strayed away from banks

Cause greed was just to trendy

The idea of friends and numbers

Threw me to the ground

Figured we'd crown 4 quarters instead of 100 pennies

Swede shoes, silk shirts, and bentleys

By some is defined as plenty

While little Lenny with stomach empty dreams of Denny's

Or some water or a Father would help immensely

Afgani blowing and Hennessy gulping MC's

Take their aperture and narrow it densely

Make millions off the Emmys some how erases Memories

Of pennies struggling in this world

Mother fiend'n they're just fending

Against the many

In class they're considered lowers

Below us they just a penny

I say our morals need reordered

cause no doubt that they're all Quarters

And deserve entry into this bank of respect

That has become run by hoarders

Loving to build borders 3 times the size

Of their self righteous shoulders

This is a disassembly of a culture surrounded by sentries.

I enjoy writing some hip hop verses every once in awhile and this is all that was intended when writing the piece
