Fake Money

Showing off new and expensive gadgets everyday

But you’re the one that’s being played

Kids always tell you how you’re smart and funny

But they only say this to get at your money

Can’t you see?

The day you become like me,

An ordinary kid attending Lexington High

Having just enough money to get by

Nobody will love you anymore

Thrown out like yesterday’s trash; right outside my front door

Time for you to adjust your field of view

And see that the world doesn’t revolve around you
