I Like Cheap Skates

Take a look at this video for insight on why I wrote this particular piece.

Spending money is against my religion
It’s my decision to keep the coins hidden
Normal spendin is hard for me to envision
Cold sweats at the thought of money missin

I only spend when absolutely necessary
My frugal game is skrong beyond legendary
I even quit my duties acting as the tooth fairy
F…. dem kids they better get a job

Go submit a resume, it’s not that hard
I hate when I have to use my credit card
To buy food and gas…that’s…too…..far
So I bought a bus pass and Uber f…..a car

I don’t have lights, I kick it in the dark
Don’t want them bcuz I hate being charged
Spending money leaves me forever scarred
Run me them coupons though, yeah that part

I run to the discounts like marathons
Yard sales be da bomb, da hell with Amazon
It’s an adrenaline rush flowing like the Amazon
When I buy hand me downs it feels like I won

That cheap shirt looking like a whole snack
A big mac B-line to the clearance rack
In the goodwill I just forget how to act
I lose my mind in Dollar Tree yup straight facts

I don’t eat Fruit Loops, I eat those Fruit Rings
Purchased with a coupon, I like nice things
I can’t explain the joy that a cheap price brings
Like a warm day coupled with a slight breeze

I once went to the gun range with a friend
Shot up all his bullets that he used money to spend
When it was time to pay for both lanes at the end
I said “SEPARATE” who tf he thought I wuz

I’m so cheap that I’m inconsiderate just bcuz
F…k his bullets my reputation won’t budge
I’m just ungrateful, it runs in my blood
But don’t judge or I’ll hold a grudge

As you can see I hate spending money
Makes me feel funny I scratch my neck like a junkie
My wallet closed off wrapped tight like a mummy
I don’t pay full price what I look like a dummy

I look like a pair of used New Balances…..that were on sale
