about

I found it important to focus at least one song on the economic brainwashing perpetuating the oppressive system that leads to a lot of the disenfranchisement this album attempts to put flesh on.

lyrics

"The Money"

So, if you're making money, you may ask what money makes.
Money makes the whole economy of self-worth inflate.
Money makes few goals mean more than to maintain,
then money makes two souls out of the same name.
Money can get your dick get play, then put dicks in a tomb.
Money can make vampire teeth appear in a womb.
Money can make a woman feel she can control her endeavors.
Money makes a man try and fail to hold every treasure.
Money can make you hella cautious how you spend it.
Money can make you start a song hot then not care how you end it.
Money robs.
Money takes.
Money makes mobs.
Money makes slobs productively useless.
Money makes problems,
so money creates jobs,
but jobs don't fix 'em.
Jobs create more excuses.
Money makes you pay for rain
and the rain-keeper's disease.
Money makes you think you need it to breathe.
Money makes life a living hell,
then money makes you need it to leave.
Money makes you feed your greed while you feed your seeds.
Money makes marketable -
money makes massive -
same things money makes passive.
Money makes you active in mass genocide, although you don't plan it.
Money makes the land across a sea a whole different planet.
Money makes the man across the street a whole different planet.
Money makes them bandos 'cross them freeways whole different planets.
And, if given the chance, money makes "coke" sound like "cope"
and "hope" sound like "nope"
and "trope" sound like "dope".
Our scope and focus broken on how much we give and we take -
money makes you wait for fuller plates to state you relate.
Outrageous how we make money make us.

Money creates tension between people that you've known your whole life.
Money makes your girl not your wife.
Money makes funny Jakes trife.
Money creates.
Money enables imaginations to reach levels unstable.
What's on the inside countin',
but accountants can't count it's worth's amount - is more than mountains of the ground from which we're founded.
