How Much Do You Need?

Verse 1

Gold‑lined pockets dragging down your tailored coat,

Counting every dollar like it keeps your world afloat.

You stack your towers higher while the streets crack underneath,

Pretend you earned the sunlight while the rest of us can’t breathe.

Pre‑Chorus

You call it “ambition,” we call it greed,

You take the harvest, we plant the seed.

---

Chorus

How much do you need before you finally choke?

How much do you hoard while calling it a joke?

You build your throne on broken backs and call it destiny,

Tell me — how much do you need.

---

Verse 2

You sip your wine and laugh about the “lazy poor,”

But you’ve never felt a winter with no heat behind the door.

You gamble with our futures like they’re chips you’ll never miss,

And call it “just the market” when you push us off the cliff.

Pre‑Chorus

You praise the ladder you pulled away,

You preach “hard work” from a yacht in the bay.

---

Chorus

How much do you need before you finally choke?

How much do you hoard while calling it a joke?

You build your throne on broken backs and call it destiny,

Tell me — how much do you need.

---

Bridge

Maybe one day you’ll see the truth you buried in your vault,

That wealth without compassion is a kingdom built on salt.

And when the tide comes in and washes out your greed,

You’ll learn that having everything still never made you free.

---

Final Chorus

How much do you need before the mirror cracks in two?

How long ’til all that money stops protecting you?

You built a world where only you can breathe —

So tell me, how much do you need.
