OF THE MONTH

JUST A HUNDRED

By Brine Taz

Was talking to my guy the other day Debating on this life and how we get by

Chasing these dreams In the sun Hoping our eyes don’t give out Before our times do That the lives we’re chasing One day become a reality

As we find ourselves asking why Doing what we can to get by When you find yourself being The guy everyone knows To always be looking for a yi bai

Because it takes 1 hundred To get you from a to b It’s plain to see

This life it be filled with highs and lows something like ecstasy

But all I need is 1 hundred Because I’m hungry Insatiable appetite for a feast I am yet to reach Is it cool for me to pretend?

Jumping around Like a headless chicken I swear the way we chase This red money You’d think something Within us is broken

But who am I to speak When I find it hard to say With no hesita-tion The means to which it comes to me

So can you lend something To keep me float, Help me get by,

All I need is a yi bai (100)
