Sixteen Dollars and a G.E.D.
Embracing Life Beyond Wealth: Sixteen Dollars and a GED
Lyrics
I ain't got no big screen tv
I lack a big screen TV.
I ain't got no woman waiting up for me
I don't have a woman waiting for me.
Hell, my daddy never expected too much of me
My father never had high expectations for me.
But it ain't like I got nothin
Despite challenges, I have something.
I got sixteen dollars and a GED
I possess sixteen dollars and a GED.
Couple crooked branches in my family tree
There are unconventional aspects in my family history.
Thank God the best things in this life are free
Grateful that valuable things in life are free.
I got sixteen dollars and a GED
Reiteration of having sixteen dollars and a GED.
Ain't got no bossman telling me what to do
I am free from a boss telling me what to do.
Ain't gotta press my suit ain't gotta a shine my shoes
No need to maintain formal attire or shine shoes.
I've seen the damage that a rich man can do
I've witnessed the harm caused by wealthy individuals.
Boy, ain't that something
Expressing surprise or realization about the preceding statement.
I got sixteen dollars and a GED
Confirmation of having sixteen dollars and a GED.
Couple crooked branches in my family tree
Reiteration of unconventional aspects in the family tree.
Thank God the best things in this life are free
Emphasizing the value of free things in life.
I got sixteen dollars and a GED
Confirmation of having sixteen dollars and a GED.
I got sixteen
Repetition, possibly for emphasis or reflection.
I had twenty four dollars
Past possession of twenty-four dollars.
But a drink is eight dollars in this town
Highlighting the high cost of a drink in the current town.
I got sixteen dollars and a GED
Confirmation of having sixteen dollars and a GED.
Couple crooked branches in my family tree
Reiteration of unconventional aspects in the family tree.
Thank God the best things in this life are free
Emphasizing the value of free things in life.
I got sixteen dollars and a GED
Final confirmation of having sixteen dollars and a GED.
