MINIMUM RAGE
By Tonia Gutting and Lynette Vantreese
1ST VERSE
Four dollars and twenty five cents
I worked an hour for it
I spent an hour of my life
For this handful of money
Somehow I thought I was
Worth more than that
More than money
More than worth
Priceless
Priced
CHORUS
Four Twenty Five
2ND VERSE
For my parents' passion moment
For my mother's
Nine month and twenty year labor
For my grade school pictures
For my sixth grade
Ribbon in running
For my moment of glory
For my potential
My life
My soul
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Four faded dirty dollars
A dime
Two nickels and a few pennies
Copper
What will it buy?
