No More Dough
We always wanna widen what’s in our wallet
We always wanna find the dough to deposit
We always wanna be rich with big bills
We love making money, more than Winnie loves honey
We spend our entire lives working our butts off
We work for that dough, even through headaches and coughs
I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it
But spending is so much easier than it is to save
It is a fire so wild it flies through your wallet
It starts so small but spreads so suddenly
It is the pain that emerges when you get stung by a bumblebee
When you go to the mall, it makes you want to buy it all
It doesn’t even care how stupid or random
As long as you like it, it’ll make you buy them
But, hey, at least you’ll have the same headband as Jayson Tatum
I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it
Eventually you’ll realize you’ve run out of resources
You’ll have no more dough- you can’t buy any more purses
Regretting everything you spent without even thinking
But it’s too late to retrieve what you spent
There’s only one thing you can do: work harder to pay off whatever money that’s due
And try to patch up the hole you made in your own wallet
I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it
Refrain from “7 Rings”, a song by Ariana Grande
