A Monologue About Money

Money is an illusion And money is only worth as much as we say it's worth You see that 50 pound note safely tucked in the insides of your wallet Is only as valuable as the institutions that govern and regulate your money say it is I mean, what's really the difference between a 50 and a 100 Cost of producing a tenner, a 50, a 100 are probably the same The only difference is the number printed on it So if you're wondering how the governments profit off you There you have your answer They make you pay money for money And then take back the money from you After it's doubled or tripled or quadrupled or...whatever comes after Let's put this into context, they print a 50 at the cost of 10p You toil to earn that 50 and then save it in your bank You think you have a 50, but it's true worth is 10p Now the bank has successfully conned you To help increase its total reserve by 40000% What kind of racketeering is going on here Before the financial Patriarch, Rothschild took over the global finance world And influenced what will become today's banking system What exactly did we earn Well, people only cared for their needs And were apparently less greedy than we are today Consumerism is killing America yo Some traded by barter; a direct transaction of goods and services In exchange for other goods and services Without using money as a medium of exchange And now, money's gone virtual Something I'm not even sure is real or should be legal in anyway They display a bunch of zeros on your mobile screens You got a mil on screen but you don't You ever tried to walk into a bank and ask to get your money in cash And see what hell they make you go through It's cos they don't got it themselves That's why I don't believe in money as a measure of wealth Such a useless thing to have A worthless gift to offer anyone If i give you 10 euros now yeah, you get a burger and that's it That's it? Cos two hours later, you're hungry again Especially if you're like Isaac So money will buy you some security, but never peace It will get you treatment, but never health Money will buy you admiration, but never friendship It will get you comfort, but never immortality Some time, but never eternity So however you wanna slice this pie Just know that the money you think you possess is an illusion And the rich and mighty made it so
