a dollar listen listen y'all gotta pay
attention i just balled it up so clearly
it's not worth a dollar anymore all
right all right so maybe what if i step
on it what if i stop it i just stopped

cents 68 cents
it's still worth a dollar okay what if i
ball it up what if i stop on it and then
i'll put it in the trash can and it's in
here with some trash and it's around
some beer and some gum and a bunch of
other nasty stuff and some guy off the
street pulls the dollar out unfolds it
how much is it worth now maybe 82 cents
and me come on at least 92 cents
it's okay all right so what if i ball it

years ago who put value over this life
and said that no matter what happens to

to tell you that you were created and
you're born and you're here and you have
life and you have purpose and you have
value and though you've gone through
some hard times and though you've
experiencing some depression and you
might be wanting to hurt yourself or you
might want to give up i am here to tell
you you still got worked in value and
there is nothing that can happen that

is you gotta pick yourself up
you gotta dust yourself off and you
gotta keep moving
