When I was small I went to my cousins house and got up into the night and walked into a wall.

One man cashed into a wall driving and looking a girl whose legs reached the sky

But I am not talking about physical walls

- sickness
- If I am so wonderful why am I still single

Our society constantly promises us that money will provide what we want—success, comfort, peace, and happiness—leading our fickle hearts to trust money for things it was never intended to give us.
