MONEY
My money is hard work.
My money is my mentality.
My money is luck.
But my money is with the government!
That’s your deal: the government, the government, the government.
Buy a suit, let me get you a job—
Money is all hard work!
But my money is with the government!
No, no, buy a book,
Learn about how money is all mentality
But my money is with the government!
No, no, buy a ticket—
Money is all luck!
But my money is with the government!
See, that’s your deal: the government, the government, the government.
But my money is with the government!
Well….
My money is hard work.
My money is my mentality.
My money is luck.
My money is my mentality.
My money is luck.
But my money is with the government!
That’s your deal: the government, the government, the government.
Buy a suit, let me get you a job—
Money is all hard work!
But my money is with the government!
No, no, buy a book,
Learn about how money is all mentality
But my money is with the government!
No, no, buy a ticket—
Money is all luck!
But my money is with the government!
See, that’s your deal: the government, the government, the government.
But my money is with the government!
Well….
My money is hard work.
My money is my mentality.
My money is luck.
