Verse 1
Dm 
You ever have negative money?
That's depressing,
isn't it? You look at your bank account,
negative ten dollars.
That's how much I have now.
Negative ten.
That means I don't
even have no money now.
I wish I did.
I wish I didn't have anything.
I wish I just had nothing,
but I have less than that.
I don't have none.
I have not ten.
That's right. I don't know. I'm a big
Em 
Born to be
Born to be
Dm 
Money, money, money, money
Em 
Most folk ain't got no money
Dm 
So on  to the next swine song,
don't be kept surprised
Em 
Gotta give it to get it
Dm 
Like we do a whole lot more
givin' than gettin'
Em 
Biker Social Security
Dm 
Why you keep takin'
Gsus4 
my money?
Dm 
Come and go with the wind like Scarlett
Em 
O a spin, copped a buzz,
then the buzz just policed it with a sting
Dm 
Proper buds, spot the duds
from the eager ones that grin
Em 
Be the kindest ones to kill you,
guess the evil ones within
Dm 
For every drought on the rummy,
there's a leader flood of gin
Play your cards while there's cause
for a leisure runner
Em 
Dm 
Sprint to the ballot, slam your balance,
make believe that it's a gavel
Pass the judgment vote to hush him,
Em 
like he's only speaking babble
Dm 
You either get it or you don't,
take no credit for the loan
If I drop a jewel on you
but happen to crack your dome
In the process of Katrina,
any progress made to clean up
Em 
Dm 
took the soul from black folk
Am 
Let the mud stains re  -up,
Dm 
in other words gentrified
Probably like the 10th reprise,
Em 
Am 
so on to the next swan song, dawg
Dm 
Am 
Em 
Though we kept surprised,
Am 
Dm 
mor bidly mesmerized
Cordially, Ed invites you to
form your own view,
Em 
Dm 
or albeit step aside
Em 
I'm a bee, born to live like this
Dm 
Born to live like
Seems to be a recurring trend
Em 
amongst poor people
Born to live like
Dm 
Amongst  brown -skinned people
Em 
Born to live like this
Dm 
Born to live like this
Em 
She's not for you.
I guess I rubbed her up the wrong way,
Dm 
so...
I'll try to fill her up when I can get her.
Gsus4 
It's a little   fill up, fill up, you know?
Dm 
It's a sign that a time's worth
to kill Scott's rhymes.
Em 
Wonder, is this the way?
Like, Joe Scott tryin'
Dm 
out a protein powder
that weak arms power.
Em 
Brainstorms ain't strong,
Dm 
so they pump rain showers full of lead.
Instead, I'd rather fight
with graphite.
Opinionated leftist
Em 
is known to get the facts right.
Dm 
Never made a death wish,
resented the past life.
Several ways to exit,
Em 
try not to backslide
Dm 
Broke pockets, fixed sockets
on being wealthy
Am 
At all costs, die to live free and be healthy
Dm 
Try to still help heaps with little to spare
Em 
Like a tribal warrior
Dm 
who needs his weapon repaired
Em 
Am 
Dm 
Stared at the face of desperation
and reflected despair
Em 
Dm 
1 % of population
had neglected to care
Em 
Am 
Dm 
The other 99  were trying to find
methods to share
To make their mugs run dry
Em 
Dm 
Em 
Dm 
like dehydrated deer
than it used to be before,
because when you're rich,
Em 
the bank pays you for being rich.
If you have a lot of money,
Dm 
they give you money,
Em 
because you have a lot of money.
They say, you have so much money,
Em 
Dm 
Dm 
that we should give you some.
Em 
Because you have a lot,
you should have more,
Dm 
here, take more money.
Take this guy's 15,
buck him, you should have...
Em 
It makes perfect sense.
Dm 
Em 
Dm 
Em 
Dm 
He  doesn't have enough, you have a lot.
