I'm no unaffordable home

Well, look at my friends,

Some people get power,

Well, I went to the ATM when I awoke,
It said, you are broke, financially depleted,
your money is deleted.
Like your hairline, it has receded.
your troubles are big.
a bit of restitution.
with the means
Spilling the beans to pay for my dreams
Spit out the bills
I need a tower of gold
I need the treasure in a pirate's hold
I need the profits of a corporation sold
And if I can be so bold
What Wall Street stole
And enough dough to buy rolls
And hand -tailored clothes
And mansions and islands that I have chose
And I don't want to die,
Security that'll never doze.
Live sculpture in a perpetual pose.
I want to be bathed in velvet
from my head to my toes.
I want my teeth capped in gold,
so when the light goes out,

No sooner had I spoken

that the ATM spit out a bus token,
said, here's the situation,
you'll be taking public transportation.
I was incredulous.

But I didn't have jack I in the street
And who did I spy with my little eye
but Sheena with a new life complete
see she had done time for a
serious crime
But after her incarceration
She had given her life a new interpretation
by ringing the bell for the salvation
of souls
And when they hear the bell toll
they know they are in
receipt of a place to eat
I said, look at my friend Sheena.
Ain't she an angel?

Her life could have been for naught.
G
D
Her resurrection was hard fought.
And here comes Bobby.
He's off the pipe.
He should have been dead, we all thought.
He was up to his neck.
He was a wreck.
But he kept it in check
C
G
He had us laughing at his antics.
Even through a tumor.

Because roaring in his glorious stories
got the young boys jerkin'
Now that's no judgment
berserkin'
She got a special needs child
So she does it all with a smile
D
G
Bordering on smirkin'
C
G
I think it's safe to say
Look at all my friends,
barely employed
Maintaining their integrity,
not null and void

I saw what clarity, charity,
and it humbled me galore,
and I went back to that ATM again
and requested an encore,
because sometimes you gotta
open up your eyes
and see what life is truly for.
