Screw hooked on phonics I’m hooked on economics gotta learn it so my checks got zeros on it

I’m ballin out buyin bank loansto cop a new car or my dream home

But I cant, cause my credit is lowwait, i’ll just put it on my credit card yocan’t forget to pay the bills though

Interest is the charge for a loanif you don’t pay you’ll lose your home

Workin to pay off debt, gotta get off my assets & work hardjust wish I could find a job for me. Sucks workin mad hours cause to them I’m free

Which means I’m worth 18 hours minimum wageI feel like they got me locked in a cageI’m tryin to see green but all these walls are beige

It’s all about, economics, economics, economics!

Supply goes up demand goes downnow all the extra products are layin on the ground

You lost your job and your girlfriend toobut now you got unemployment to help you

Money, money, money man you don’t got a lotfirst of the month pay those bills on the spot

April 15th, is the big day its your taxes that you gotta payAll your taxes are due then, so what do you do now?Get money from a friend?

I need money, money I want!

Economics makin choices to suite our wants and needshopefully this economy will succeed…

…in a new direction, because we are in a recession on the road to a depression

So sick of this economy, somethings gotta giveI don’t know how Obama expects us to live

So I’m staring at the price ceiling thinkin bout my total revenuegotta stand up on the price floor & start rationing too

Havin your own business is hard to do, build up on my consumer surplus to see how customers benefit from us

Elasticity, subsidy, subvention oh wait did I mention?

The substitution effect, what does this reflect?The outcome on demand of a price change

Cant forget Centris Paribus, the Latin name for which means all other things are the same

Some might think economics is lame,but to me it’s the ticket to money and fame!

It’s all about, economics, economics, economics!
