Текст песни Fool's Gold - Afari

Fame and money's where many get their identity
That's dead to me, that's detrimental like leprosy
People dreaming of getting rich by any means necessary
That cash flow liquidity to swell up the treasury
Flex and make it rain but that never impresses me
Fill the wallet in your pocket, stress to get that accessory
Then move on to the next one, expending your energy
When finally you made it you realize the discrepancy
You were misdirected, mental wealth is neglected
Replaced by a paycheck to embellish our beggary
We're sharing our memories specially for attention
Or on talent shows in the hopes to become a celebrity
Perfecting the pictures to protect your self image
Then if the likes ain't many, self-esteem is in jeopardy
Seeming flawless at first, but what you find looking further despite
How you might appear on the surface, your life isn't perfect
Behind the curtains, neither is mine
We blossom as we prosper inside, I'm expanding my territory
Developing a legacy with grace from above
Love comes first that's a must and the money is secondary
For thirty silver pieces Judas fell into treachery
Endorsing charity when his intent was embezzling
There's temptations that money brings, can't take it to heaven
A good man thinks of his grandkids and his wealth is hereditary
Feinding for the commas, root of evil if we love it
No mystery why people are treated horribly by companies
Greedy for profits, connect your self worth to your net worth
Then whatever the chest girth, there's never enough in the coffers
Celebrities idolized by so many people
When they see them on TV, but behind all the scenes it's
Not what you think when inside there's no peace and
Their soul is broken and they're falling to pieces, but everyone sees 'em
Thinks they wanna be 'em, but if you dig deeper
You might learn under the surface they're internally bleeding
You don't see through their eyes so you're unlikely to see it
So you really believe they have the life that you dream of
It's all in your state of mind whether you're really free
You can freely roam the streets with a slave mentality
Expect change doing things the same but that's just insanity
Working nine to five, all the while neglect your dreams
Attach to familiarity and never spread your wings
Wasting all your time chasing things that you don't need
But inside's a unique purpose and meaning
Seek and you will find, there's a reason you're alive
Don't waste your life
