$

I was never meant for money,

It goes right through my hands.

Cash is always king,

Living in a world of brands.

Money is meant to be spent.

Spending without a care.

I went through money,

Like I was a billionaire.

I was known as a big spender.

I  had money to burn.

I would go through those dollars,

Without any concern.

They say money talks,

And I know that for a fact.

Mine says goodbye,

And it’s never coming back.

I wish I had a nickel,

For every dollar that I blew.

Why, I’d be a rich man,

With a different point of view.
