You dug your own graves With a silver spoon Mita Then traded away Chattel slaves for paprika To feed and to fund Private armies and states To invest in your pearly white Collar bill gates And keep everyone out Who had less or made more Then you capitalized Off of for-profit war Like the Western grand dragons And lion’s share kings Who demand from us tribute Of paperweight things Be it standardized oil Or genocide gold It’s all backed by the blood On this weapon they hold

A Brief History of Money
You dug your own graves With a silver spoon Mita Then traded away Chattel slaves for paprika To feed and to fund Private armies and states To invest in your pearly white Collar bill gates And keep everyone out Who had less or made more Then you capitalized Off of for-profit war Like the Western grand dragons And lion’s share kings Who demand from us tribute Of paperweight things Be it standardized oil Or genocide gold It’s all backed by the blood On this weapon they hold
