Nonmonetary Society

One day I was in deep contemplation The state of humanity had my brain racing Infuriating, I had to pinpoint an answer No longer would I ponder what spreads this earthly cancer And so an answer I sought and it dawned on me What is the goal of a growing economy To help ease the lives of society To keep the population happy with improved technology And so on I saw it isn't really money we like But the things our money has bought and why Because it makes life easier and relieve stress But come on now you could figure the rest Money is hardly really ever a stress reliever Because my life sure as hell ain't ever any easier What I buy to relieve stress only brings more Because I got a stress the maintenance I afford And stress the operation, stress the replacement upon breaking Stress the environment I'm wastin', I find my mind taking me, back in time To prehistoric humans living primitive, like swinging on a vine Life was probably a lot tougher But I wonder if that life, could ease my type of suffer The suffering of my soul, the struggle of my spirit I try to fill the hole, I offer up this lyric To anyone that want to hear it Deep down, I know we'll be all right, but at times I can hardly bear it I was blessed with this sheer gift, and so I'm here to share it I swear it, fuck money, so go ahead and copy this album Don't sell it, give it your friends for free, fuck the outcome I'm sick and tired of rappers dissin' bootleggers Rap for the love, not for the papers, do me no favors I'll rock live shows to accumulate dough No problem, that's fine with me, let's go See who has the real skill and who is strictly advertisement Who could generate income sufficient to survive in The underground, I'm all about independence I'll never work with the industry, I'd rather bust for free, keep your red cents Trust me, I'd like to get what I deserve But the reason I deserve it is because money is not the reason I'm assertive This ain't a joke, it's not funny Rapping's my hobby, my art, I'm not doing this for the money All I need is food and drink and room to think Fresh air to breathe and love to make my heart beat Nowhere does money need to interfere But somebody put it there so they could spare their share But that's not fair, "Life's not fair, that's how it be" But that's not how it has to be Nonmonetary society Money, the future of the world The mission for all boys and girls, as plans unfurl It is the motive, the driving force Behind wars, all guns, explosives, for money, of course Automotives, machines, all industry It is the means of living and luxury So many people love it, and think of nothing else And really know nothing of it, and love ignorance itself From them comes the phrase: money makes the world go round They do what pays, cause that's all they know how But hey now, the first lesson in life is to question what you were taught Including your way of life, so here's a thought What is money, where does it come from No, not your goal, or your monthly income It's funny, the majority only knows they want to get some But actually, it's liquefied resources Renewable or not, it's what supports us We need it because we total over six billion Really?, Yeah, we've got severe overpopulation Regardless, somehow we all gotta eat And money is global, so we all compete We make the product to buy or trade Then we get paid in a roundabout way, we fill our plate And that's all we really need The rest is just greed and manifestations of money And we even need much less than we consume So we drain more resources, turnin' this earth to ruin We'll surely meet our doom unless we do something soon Because of this view there are a few people Who say: money is the root of all evil Believable, but I say it overlooks Who makes the money, and so it's an excuse You can't blame the earth for our abuse And that's all money is so we're the crooks Putting the blame on money is like blaming the drug It's the fiend's fault for using, so now he's stuck Once supply runs out, he'll turn sober If his body's dependent, then it's all over So once our resources run out There'll be nothing support us, no doubt Opposing popular belief, money isn't unlimited Let's turn a new leaf and quit this silly shit Now you're really pissed, because cash is what you're all about But I'ma destroy that image and wring it out, to dry What's it matter what car you drive? As long as you survive and lead a happy life, I know why It's not necessarily because you're lazy But because of what's engraved in your brains by those crazy Commercials and advertisements from corporations Subliminal images and catchy phrases, they're tasteless Don't you know one person's profit is another's loss So when the corporations raising prices it's gonna cost Someone else probably lower class working hard To produce more, while they're sitting on their ass eating lard And here's another term to make a blood pump cold Globalization meaning spreading business across the globe They make it seem pretty by telling you they helping But they get dirt cheap labor and fat profits by selling, to you Before you say what I think, take a deeper look Why are these people so poor that they need this work No resources, because someone swindled those too They do what's necessary for clothes, shelter, and food, so would you But you'd rather make them do that? Maybe it's a dog-eat-dog world, because some cannibals are getting fat And I know you probably don't care But the whole time you destroy the earth, polluting the air So you also getting' fat off of future generations And you're so blind, you want to increase overpopulation Ignorance in abundance is amazing But I can't blame you, it's in your upraising And your parents, and theirs, and theirs before that With all this weight on my back it's about to snap My generation has to deal with this So don't tell me not to bitch, you greedy capitalist You selfish, materialistic swine When all this come back you better hope that you're dyin' But enough hatred towards the money grubbin' I wrote this whole song out of lovin', Zion! Nonmonetary society Economy and monetary systems Are all based upon selfishness, so what happens when I isn't Greedy, perhaps willing to work freely To help those more needy, it's seeming like these be Attitudes not allowed to flourish Hindered by hatred towards those malnourished While you make claims of humanity's laziness Saying: if everyone didn't have to earn a wage, who knows They may just live off other people But who could do such a thing, wouldn't that be evil? Well, hmmm, let me think, perhaps those few deceitful persons Were the ones who implemented this clever method to fill their purses Interest rates and usery, this is what Nazis argued the Jews were doing Because the Christian religion prohibiting charging interest It sounds like Christians just didn't know how to invest In reality, Germany was under stress paying World War I reparations A wheelbarrow of cash, no less, for a loaf of bread So who was charging interest?, Perhaps the U.S The collapse of the depression, showed capitalisms flaws put the test Showed an underdeveloped democracy under an aristocracy is discretion Um, may I make a suggestion A nonmonetary society The assumption that money is necessary for survival means Is an evil only adopted in the last few thousand years For utmost efficiency, currency must disappear Let's get this clear, with those accustomed to earnin' a living Bustin' ass, solely concerned with getting cash, seein' paycheck grinnin' Like worshippin' money is a religion, I caught you slippin' If you could only focus on givin', your work up to humanity Do some dirt for the family, then we could all live happily Assuming that since you got the need, and I got the means to fulfill it Problems would get solved and this would reveal that The world would still revolve, and we could all resolve not to kill it I know you feel it, you know the thrill you get Clutching the fat come up could come with
