lyrics

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
