A Penny For

A penny for yo' thoughts if you got a minute
A penny for yo' time if you down to listen

I
I been on the grind and I ain't sleep since
Tryna make a dollar out of 15 cents, cents
Money on my mind and it don't make sense
How much of my time does it take to pay the rent, rent
Man
I been thinking about it
Dreaming about it
Damn near half way fiending about it
Can't build a thing with your hopes and your dreams 'less
You got a little bit of that green in your pocket
Uh
In the land of milk and honey
You'll go hungry
'Less you starve your soul in pursuit of that money
Kinda funny ain't it
We so educated
Yet we earn fractions of the dollars that we spend to gain it
Life indebted to broken systems that we propagated
Sick and tired of being tired, think it's time to change

A penny for yo' thoughts if you got a minute
A penny for yo' time if you down to listen
A penny ain't that much but it's something innit
A penny for yo' thoughts
A penny for yo' thoughts
A penny for yo' thoughts if you got a minute
A penny for yo' time if you down to listen
A penny ain't that much but it's something innit
A penny for yo' thoughts
A penny for yo' thoughts

Can anybody tell me why if I was broke
Then wouldn't nobody help me
Why we justify so many po'
When so many are wealthy
We find ways to make things complicated
But we won't rectify the situation
We so damn complacent
Faced with
The choice of helping another
Or personal gain
It's too often that we let people suffer
A world full of pain
But we paint it like we care for our brothers
So tell me why fighting each other
Man it's crazy
Seeing victims on a daily
Losing lives because we failing to take the high road
All the things people die for
Will perish in time
That's why I cherish the time
Some sell they soul for a dollar
But there's no price tag on mine

A penny for yo' thoughts if you got a minute
A penny for yo' time if you down to listen
A penny ain't that much but it's something innit
A penny for yo' thoughts
A penny for yo' thoughts
A penny for yo' thoughts if you got a minute
A penny for yo' time if you down to listen
A penny ain't that much but it's something innit
A penny for yo' thoughts
A penny for yo' thoughts
