Monetary System

Nowadays it’s all about cash.
Man, people just put their dreams on the shelf,
push them aside and lose their true self.

Why...?

Because people say you can’t make a living that way?
I’d rather be broke and happy than rich and miserable any day.
See, I was one of those people, a little over a year ago.
I was miserable in school, my mood was always low.

Then one day someone said “This ain’t a way to live.
You’re an amazing person,
you gotta let your talents show, give yourself room to grow.”
Took it to heart, and before you knew it, I dropped that shit
 and became a major in art.
I still get shit to this day.
Still get told I’m throwing my life away.
 Truthfully, I couldn’t care less about what they proclaim.
“It would have been good money!”
Please, let me just put this bluntly:

I don’t need to live a life of luxury.
As long as I have friends that care,
then the memories are enough for me.
