A beautiful struggle of an average human vs. the lavish life of a sad billionaire

Every day I got a new set of problems

Can't figure out just how to solve em

Each day I find new ways to dodge em

But they keep coming back

Full circle revolver

What's a dollar to a billionaire

Spend all there money on diamonds without a care

Yet none of them seem to be happy

Rolling in cash yet smiling so sadly

Here I am waiting from cent to cent

Trying to afford food gas and rent

But at the end of the day

I can rest easy

Satisfied

Indefinitely ok

Is it the same for you mr. Billionaire?

With your fancy car ladies parties

In the designer clothes you wear

But what I see

All around me

Is beauty in simplicity

Beauty in the struggle

The empty pocket pit

Living off that next pack of Ramon noodles

Pressing on

Never settling

Knowing that your day will come

Because happiness isn't about the things you acquire

It's about the love you spread

The good you transpire

the universe returns to you

Threefold to fulfill selfless desires

Sometimes in wealth

Sometimes in power

You lose yourself

Forget To stop and smell the flowers

But I'll hold my head high

Through the hard times

Wait for the good

Gaze at the stars

And feed my head

With all that's left

The beauty in everything
