Greed runs the globe, people fiendin for more. Like a crack whore willin to sell her body to score. What good we doin throwin an addict in jail Treat the sick, somehow we managed to fail Bandaged and pale, babies worldwide is dying The good never prevail and they're tired of trying Government all wack, they is admired for lyin'. I stand tall, straight defyin the "peace" You not in for the long haul just signin a lease. You greedy fucks always needa possess more. The worlds gon' to hell and you wonder what im stressed for... Written by me.
It's got that Immortal Technique style, mad props. Rap with a message- you don't see it that much these days. I've been stuck on accepting that our countries economic system, even though it is one of the best systems in the world still it forces poverty with it's buy low, sell high scheme. People are paid more for being able to throw a ball through a hoop really well than a doctor who saves lives. This ultimately causes a number of people to suffer. People are paying money for no services rendered because it's a kill or be killed world out there and people charge for everything they can- even just for being late paying a bill. After it's all said and done the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor. I don't think it's fair at all, but I'm stuck living with it. I can hate it and suffer or just accept it and wish things were different. If I have to be greedy so I can be comfortable and have a family than so be it. But in my heart I know there must be a better way, we just never found it or we weren't capable of making it work right. Man is just too greedy, and it's that greed which will be our downfall.
