Salary Gap

(Verse 1)
Yo since the Lynians invented the 1st coin
To be traded for goods and exchanged like it’s worth points
Which spread into other countries who would then join
And start the revision from barter system to bitcoin
From physical tokens, to bill, to banknotes
To criminal motives for the economy’s fake growth
Hand to hand got overtaken by a faster charge
Since the conversion from paper money to plastic cards
Digital transfers are sent most currently
From electronic money to crypto currency
So everybody’s been scheming again
It doesn’t justify the means but it’s a means to an end
Damn, and that’s probably the reason they feel stressed when
Everybody’s been competing with the next men
And everybody’s devising a plan
In this societal scam of supply and demand

(Chorus)
So as I’m sitting here to write this song
All the money that I’ve earned in my life is gone
While my sister’s got a house to build
With bills to pay and an additional mouth to fill
Now both husbands have a wife and a home
Not to mention what they’ve been spending on diapers alone
So I’ve been watching learning right from wrong
Cause all the money that I’ve earned in my life is gone

(Verse 2)
I’m unfulfilled on this thrill for the cash and bucks
I’d really like to chill but these bills keep on adding up
We’re getting played told to stay in a spades place
I’m getting paid fully and ain’t waiting on a wage raise
Like damn, cause Uncle Sam’s got a plan
To keep Static a couple hundred grands from a band
Plus the attorney for trial at my defense
Costs so much that he could probably smile at my expense
Cause the less that you make, the less you get paid
And often the less you get paid, the less you get laid
So all aboard the money train when it’s pullin’ up
Wages going down but the rates keep going up
Plus most are greedy and people have free will
So that’s the reason that police steal and teens deal
They’re either tryna be real or eat meals
Cause grindin’ to get paid is an American keen skill

(Chorus)
So as I’m sitting here to write this song
All the money that I’ve earned in my life is gone
While my sister’s got a house to build
With bills to pay and an additional mouth to fill
Now both husbands have a wife and a home
Not to mention what they’ve been spending on diapers alone
So I’ve been watching learning right from wrong
Cause all the money that I’ve earned in my life is gone

(Verse 3)
This last verse is a matter of fact
Because between men and women there’s a Salary Gap
So for you, here’s my letter of vindication
From facing all of those years of gender discrimination
And this is how they make a profit for a living
Even in industries that are predominantly women
Like female nurses live discriminately poor
While male nurses are paid and earn significantly more
Cause their ain’t integrity in pay inequity
Ignored consistently throughout women’s employment history
Cause it’s an unfair game where men get away
With having women do the same work for lesser pay
Without taking into consideration
Their education, tenure, or certification
Damn, cause gender bias is alive
Leaving lots of women lacking what’s required to survive

(Chorus)
So as I’m sitting here to write this song
All the money that I’ve earned in my life is gone
While my sister’s got a house to build
With bills to pay and an additional mouth to fill
Now both husbands have a wife and a home
Not to mention what they’ve been spending on diapers alone
So I’ve been watching learning right from wrong
Cause all the money that I’ve earned in my life is gone
