about

hey uh, can I just like borrow $20 from you?
Yo oh my god, I-I-I need $40 right now.
This is so serious, I need to get, I mean I need $60 I promise I'll pay you back this time
Oh my god look at this. Can you get me this? Come on it's only $80.
Yo give me ten bucks right now.
Here, this is my venmo. Do you have cashapp?
Listen, I'll make it worth your while

lyrics

If you don't have money, come and get it with me.
Don't act like you be getting hunnids, we got Benjamin's key.
Hit the spark and light it up, you better check your history.
Show it off and make a move on, hit the flex and mystery.

Stuck where it sounds like a tribute to Mavis and Vince.
Retail's a bitch, but it's paper to clinch and payment is critical for them savings, kid.
So you better get slaving away for the corporation.
You know that it's worth the wait and the strain, just gotta have patience.
You come home, give a few bucks to the ones you love most.
For them you've struggled. It's all you can do to not be alone.
Just shrug it off. If it's all you're worth than it's all you're worth.
It's all your worth that's netted to benefit everyone earning off your work.
You're learning. You're getting the lesson.
To get their attention, you ready the leather
And spend it on Whatever anyone's eyeing.
"Don't do it." They're lying. They know that you're buying.
They know that you want them to love you.
They know they can make you give anything unto them.
Everyone knows it, so why not embrace it? Become a sugar daddy. Baby let's face it.
You're basically wasting away, but the bait you display will make everyone stay.
No more loss, no more hate.
It's not up for debate.
Money's your character when you have nothing to say.
You're just as empty to them without it as you feel.
As long as you got the paper, your pain is concealed.

If you don't have money, come and get it with me.
Don't act like you be getting hunnids, we got Benjamin's key.
Hit the spark and light it up, you better check your history.
Show it off and make a move on, hit the flex and mystery.

I get off to being unnecessary.
I could try to leave, but they'd never let me.
This is what I want. If my devils get me
Let me kill them off, make it very messy.
If I ever stop with this bread I'm getting,
I could lose it all. No expecting help.
I would have to find a gun and dead myself
I'll guess my sentence. I'll be sent to hell.
"You're canceled. You're a human error."
I can hear it ringing. It's inducing terror.
I could do it quick or I could do it better.
Follow with the act when I say "I got a letter."
Who do I have who would want to wait for me?
They always act as if there was a way for me
To get away from this and find a safer place.
I never could. I'm running out of ways to be
The maître d' of all this pain. You say to me
"Maybe you just need to change the way you seek
Validation. Look away from us.
Learning self love is the most advantageous."
That's what I've been trying and it never worked out
So I put my self worth with my net worth. I'm checking the account
For a purpose. I give it all away to feel perfect
Just for a second, then it worsens.
"Money can't buy happiness" said someone who never needed it.
The two become synonymous to anyone trying to feed a kid.
We're trapped in this economy. We don't really know what freedom is.
Distribute what my life was worth. I hope it's enough to appease.
I'm leaving.

Z the Stranger Rockland, Massachusetts

Allow for all to breathe air as clean as Eden. I will drown in the River Styx and keep the planet eternal, along with all the love in it. Your own beauty is yours and no one else's. I will inject the earth with the divine milk of a ghost's breast and the living will never go thirsty. I still remain a stranger to everyone. ... more
