Riches 2 Rags
Timothy McGimpsey

Intro
Everything I ever had, everything I had is gone,

Verse 1
Power took me up to the sky, now I’m on a literal high,
He gave me, my life, gave me riches that money can’t afford to buy,
I heard him say, that I should always keep my eyes on him,
But my eyes, lost sight, they couldn’t even hear his advice,
(Oh my Lord what have I done)

Chorus
I went from riches to rags, gave up all I had,
I went from riches to rags, gave up all I had,

Verse 2
I look into the past and I see, a version of a happier me,
I was naïve, I took for granite what it truly meant to be free,
If I could go back, it wouldn’t be different I know,
Cause I would kill myself, before I sacrifice my soul,

Outro
Ex royalty nobody will spoil me, spit upon the crown,
Well there goes my loyalty, there goes my authority,
I am the new minority,
Liars loose when they choose to use truth as their priority,
