(Intro)
Let’s say the United States needs money
Instead of issueing there own United States notes
Backed by their own credit
They issue treasury bonds
They then sell these bonds to the Federal Reserve
Which buys them with money they created out of thin air
The money that the Fed creates then goes the US
The US then pays interest on the money the Fed lends to the Treasury
So to clarify
The Fed creates money out of nothing
Loans that money to the US and then charges interest on that money
What this means is that there is never and will never be enough money in circulation or in existence to pay back that debt
Life is a disease
Life is a disease, yeah
Yeah
Life is a disease and you can die of it indeed
Disguise blood pressure high
He had diabetes
Swisher sweet, I smoke a lot of fucking weed
I’m trying to see could I get higher than the trees
Brain go 200 hours to the mile every week
So the fire bring the peace
Put desire to an ease in the street
Where someone dyin’ every week
My neighbors wildin’
We all dying for some cheese
It’s a drug war ragin’
The supplier livin’ free
The customer’s a target under fire in the street
The police, framin’ n***as
Sentencing to years for a gram from the government
They lyin’ for the cheese
We are meese, mouse’s in a maze tryin’ to feed
We’ll do damn near anything
For our perception of a freedom
Woe is me
Our humankind is in defeat
We are out here hoeing for our cheese
Money is a disease
(Chorus)
Woe is me
I think I’m dying from disease
Spend all my time chasin’ cheese
Now I’m infected with greed
Feel like I’m dyin’ in my sleep
Wake up to get it, any means
For money I’m a fiend
(x2)
I suffer from withdrawals
When I go to make withdrawals, so it seems
I get the shivers at the thought of spending cheese
Woe is me
I could be dying from disease
Why the fuck am I so greedy all I wanted was some green
And it’s hard for me to get it
Me and everyone it seems
We out here tryin’ out your dyin’ for it
But then there’s people who get hired for a job right on the scene
Complexion for connection
Or cause she had DD’s
Woe is me
I need something to sell to make some cheese
Maybe I should chill and let the paper come to me
Have you ever gone insane
You feel like broke it’s so demeaning
You want more than what you have
What you have you ain’t seeing
Woe is me
I want a steady flow of currency
It ain’t about the superficial spending or the fees
Naw, I just want to hold it
I just want to see it
I just want to know I have it
Just in case I ever need it, yeah
(Chorus x2)
Life is a disease
I think I’m dyin’ in my sleep
So I don’t do a lot of that to keep me breathing
Woe is me
I think my brain in need of ease
I don’t know how to do that
I’ve been trying now for weeks
Woe is me
I think I’m dying from lootkemia
Cause’ all I want is money in the first and third degree
What that mean?
I kill for it, get it any means
Just want to hold it
Want to know that I can see it
But the Federal Reserve applying pressure to receive it
In cahoots with local states
To make employment rates decrease
The profit margin slowly but steadily then recedes
Demand for work is limited and bankruptcy is king
It’s easier to sell someone a janky ass business
Than to pay to keep it running
That’s the art of making cheese
And n***as do it with financial aid and EBT
Just tryin’ to cheat the system for some green
Money is a disease
And you can die if it indeed
The Federal Reserve applying pressure to receive it
In cahoots with local states to make employment rate decrease N***a you slavin’ for a burger with some cheese
Woe is me
(Chorus x2)
