Materialism

[Verse 1] Materialism is the craftsmanship of a deceiving art Some are smart, but others take part It's lust perpetrated by businesses Gold has might have your name engraved Diamonds picked from modern day slaves Off the rocks of Africa And someone might laugh at ya Because the way you dress But they walk around thinking Gucci’s the best Some call it fashion But here’s the question I’m asking Where does materialism belong in society Well Kay jewelry didn’t lied to me Straight down kissing their ass Think of me as a teacher, and this song as a class But we’re still living in the past Trying hard to be a higher caste But in reality the truth gets watered down Business schemes made by business men, no ordinary circus clowns [Verse 2] What are you rocking, what do you wear And in a century no one will care You can spend millions of money But look how stupid you look, when's it's not so funny We pay for the name on clothes Putting a name on cotton, increases the cash flow Materialism stars in our dreams And is brought back alive in business schemes And it’ll sneak up on your back When the wackest color is the new black And you say, you go with the flow But you don’t know that companies get more dough Your desires, you aim for a style But you end up paying for a cheap smile Losing cash, spending money wild Until you get want you want like a stuck-up child [Verse 3] Materialism feeds and murders the wallet And poisons the brain, and steals it like a bandit It attacks and sneaks by wants and habits But look at it, and at the end of the day You might go broke and care to say What is it really worth? When you taking the last buck out of your Gucci purse Christmas is getting commercialized, materialism is a curse And when your out to your last buck You don't have a chance of luck To fulfill your urges and materialistic needs To get those nice jewelry, or gold beads And you might say there's nothing wrong There's a message in the song Stay wise, stay strong
