A Mirror Image

This is my message,

Don’t get it backwards.

Get your mind in the right place.

You want to go to school?

Thats a dumb idea,

Do not read books,

Understand this hook,

Does it even matter?

To Make as much money as possible,

We would all say that this is our motivation,

My friends and I all have the same ideals.

Our only option is to follow our peers,

I would be lying if I said,

This is not how we should live,

To work our whole life,

To make as much money as possible,

To drink fine champagne ,

Is more important than,

Family,

Knowledge,

Honor,

Thats the way it is.

You’re crazy if you listen to anybody else.

 

But there is a mirror reality.

 

You’re crazy if you listen to anybody else.

Thats the way it is.

Honor,

Knowledge,

Family,

Is more important than,

To drink fine champagne,

To make as much money as possible,

To work our whole life,

This is not how we should live,

I would be lying if I said,

Our only option is to follow our peers,

My friends and I all have the same ideals.

We would all say that this is our motivation,

To Make as much money as possible,
