There's a giant disparity No economic parity Or intellectual clarity When they're scaring me So I'll collapse invariably Under coins they're barreling They nickel and dime me So I'm pinching for pennies No peace I'm finding Working at Wendy's For the money lending Capitalism bending Sharks that are trending We coin those with stacks of cash As successes Even if their heart's black as ash It impresses Money doesn't grow on trees But it seems to float in the breeze The direction these people please Or happen to sneeze I scrape And claw But those apes Are frauds Playing God No sin absolved Without their call Because I don't put up with their torture I haven't made a dime this quarter Because of dollar hoarders Ruling through law and order Creating tribalistic borders Nobody's paying my bailout I'm too small to fail now My life's become stale, how? The **** of a male cow I tear apart my only couch Looking for a coin pouch To get me out Of this drought I cut my fingers And bruise my knuckles My fatigue lingers Until I buckle My stock tumbles As I scream uncle We allocate all our resources to a few While the rest of society turns into a zoo Where people die to pay their dues And are given a pocket of coins to use Which ignites their fuse But their obfuscated views Are swayed by the news Teaching trivial truths Change starts jingling in my pocket When I get on a revolutionary rocket So they buy a gun and **** it To preemptively block it They use marketing to stop it Like it's just another stock tip They have the guns They have the money I have to run If they start hunting Because those that say something Are the edges they're blunting With coins they're dumping To protect one thing: The profit margin Like social Darwins They say the hard win With unholy marred sin By collecting the coins of their foes To help economic hostility grow Until coins are all we know

Coins
There's a giant disparity No economic parity Or intellectual clarity When they're scaring me So I'll collapse invariably Under coins they're barreling They nickel and dime me So I'm pinching for pennies No peace I'm finding Working at Wendy's For the money lending Capitalism bending Sharks that are trending We coin those with stacks of cash As successes Even if their heart's black as ash It impresses Money doesn't grow on trees But it seems to float in the breeze The direction these people please Or happen to sneeze I scrape And claw But those apes Are frauds Playing God No sin absolved Without their call Because I don't put up with their torture I haven't made a dime this quarter Because of dollar hoarders Ruling through law and order Creating tribalistic borders Nobody's paying my bailout I'm too small to fail now My life's become stale, how? The **** of a male cow I tear apart my only couch Looking for a coin pouch To get me out Of this drought I cut my fingers And bruise my knuckles My fatigue lingers Until I buckle My stock tumbles As I scream uncle We allocate all our resources to a few While the rest of society turns into a zoo Where people die to pay their dues And are given a pocket of coins to use Which ignites their fuse But their obfuscated views Are swayed by the news Teaching trivial truths Change starts jingling in my pocket When I get on a revolutionary rocket So they buy a gun and **** it To preemptively block it They use marketing to stop it Like it's just another stock tip They have the guns They have the money I have to run If they start hunting Because those that say something Are the edges they're blunting With coins they're dumping To protect one thing: The profit margin Like social Darwins They say the hard win With unholy marred sin By collecting the coins of their foes To help economic hostility grow Until coins are all we know
