[00:03.57]I am not merely an economic unit
[00:05.63]I am human
[00:07.47]How far off are we that that can sound confusing
[00:09.43]I want to strive for more
[00:10.57]But oftentimes I don't know how to
[00:12.50]I need a new money that measures my inherent value
[00:16.23]What's your salary, what's your rate
[00:17.37]What's your hourly wage
[00:18.53]What's your position, your commission
[00:19.63]How much are you for the day
[00:21.40]When we meet somebody new
[00:22.53]What is the first thing that we say
[00:24.40]What do you do, Aka
[00:26.17]How much money do you make
[00:27.37]And then we take that information
[00:29.17]And we sort it in our brains, assess the value
[00:31.20]Calculate where to put them on the page
[00:33.20]The hierarchy of importance
[00:34.40]I mean, this is just insane
[00:36.33]You're telling me that we've agreed
[00:37.50]To tie self-worth to what we're paid
[00:40.27]You're telling me that we've agreed
[00:41.57]To tie self-worth to what we're paid
[00:44.43]Well, what a grave mistake to make
[00:45.63]What terrible advice to take
[00:47.27]If the scoreboard counts in dollars
[00:49.17]What kind of game you'd think we'll play
[00:50.57]Yo, I am not merely an economic unit
[00:52.60]I am human
[00:54.43]How far off are we that that can sound confusing
[00:56.50]I want to strive for more
[00:57.63]But oftentimes I don't know how to
[00:59.43]I need a new money, that measures my inherent value
[01:03.23]But like my four-year-old asking Why
[01:04.57]Until she's blue in the face
[01:06.43]My inner child inquires about this money that we make
[01:09.60]Why, I make money because I need it
[01:11.53]Why, so I can have financial freedom
[01:13.53]Why, so I can keep up with the Joneses
[01:15.33]Why, so someday I can own a home
[01:16.60]And why, so I can climb the social ladder
[01:18.43]Why, so I feel like I even matter
[01:20.20]Why
[01:21.60]Because I'm constantly worried that I won't be enough
[01:22.73]Why
[01:24.50]Because I'm worried without money, I'm not worthy of love
