《The Bait of Greed》
(Verse 1)
A notification blinks in the quiet night
A voice promises fortune, shining bright
“You’re the chosen one,” the smooth talker claims
Planting seeds of gold in your restless mind
You stare at the bills piling up by the door
And imagine a life you’ve been dreaming for
That golden door seems to open wide
With nowhere left for reason to hide
(Chorus)
Oh, it’s the bait of greed
Wrapped in a lucky dream indeed
When desire paints your world in gold
All the warning signs grow cold
You trade your trust for a digital crown
Watch your hopes come crashing down
When the illusion starts to bleed
You see the poison in the seed
(Verse 2)
The group chat fills with “proof” of success
Screenshots of wealth, nothing less
They say you’re just one click away
From turning all your grays to day
You bet your savings, heart, and pride
On this euphoric, reckless ride
Till the site goes dark without a trace
Leaving only emptiness in its place
(Chorus)
Oh, it’s the bait of greed
Wrapped in a lucky dream indeed
When desire paints your world in gold
All the warning signs grow cold
You trade your trust for a digital crown
Watch your hopes come crashing down
When the illusion starts to bleed
You see the poison in the seed
(Bridge)
There’s no such thing as a free lunch
We forget the truth in a hurry
The fast lane might just be a cliff
Slow down, breathe, and think it through
Real wealth is seeing clear skies so blue
And a peace no scam can ever steal from you
(Outro)
Guard your wallet, guard your soul
Let the bait of greed lose its hold
Step by step, build your own way
That’s the treasure that will stay
(Spoken Word Outro)
A reminder: If it promises easy riches, it’s selling a fairy tale. Guard your wealth by guarding your mind.
