A Penny For Lyrics

A penny for yo’ thoughts if you got a minute

A penny for yo’ time if you down to listen

I

I been on the grind and I ain't sleep since

Tryna make a dollar out of 15 cents, cents

Money on my mind and it don’t make sense

How much of my time does it take to pay the rent, rent

Man

I been thinking about it

Dreaming about it

Damn near half way fiending about it

Can’t build a thing with your hopes and your dreams ‘less

You got a little bit of that green in your pocket

Uh

In the land of milk and honey

You’ll go hungry

‘Less you starve your soul in pursuit of that money

Kinda funny ain't it

We so educated

Yet we earn fractions of the dollars that we spend to gain it

Life indebted to broken systems that we propagated

Sick and tired of being tired, think it’s time to change

A penny for yo’ thoughts if you got a minute

A penny for yo’ time if you down to listen

A penny ain't that much but it’s something innit

A penny for yo’ thoughts

A penny for yo’ thoughts

A penny for yo’ thoughts if you got a minute

A penny for yo’ time if you down to listen

A penny ain't that much but it’s something innit

A penny for yo’ thoughts

A penny for yo’ thoughts

Can anybody tell me why if I was broke

Then wouldn’t nobody help me

Why we justify so many po’

When so many are wealthy

We find ways to make things complicated

But we won’t rectify the situation

We so damn complacent

Faced with

The choice of helping another

Or personal gain

It’s too often that we let people suffer

A world full of pain

But we paint it like we care for our brothers

So tell me why fighting each other

Man it’s crazy

Seeing victims on a daily

Losing lives because we failing to take the high road

All the things people die for

Will perish in time

That’s why I cherish the time

Some sell they soul for a dollar

But there’s no price tag on mine

A penny for yo’ thoughts if you got a minute

A penny for yo’ time if you down to listen

A penny ain't that much but it’s something innit

A penny for yo’ thoughts

A penny for yo’ thoughts

A penny for yo’ thoughts if you got a minute

A penny for yo’ time if you down to listen

A penny ain't that much but it’s something innit

A penny for yo’ thoughts

A penny for yo’ thoughts
