I’ This ison it

I setit teetering near the edge Below iven, but once I descend the steps, he’ll remember his place

I own him

I own everyone here

Officially, my bank is the wealthiest private bank in the world Unofficially, it is the gateway to the underworld Every penny earned by crih me Unlike most of the banks on Wall Street, I don’t pretend to be so I’m not The money that lies in my vaults is dirty as fuck because I don’t cater to a normal clientele

No

Mine is of a different breed

The lowest dregs of life

They are drug dealers Gunrunners They are the cartel and the mafia At times, they are even the shady politicians who run countries, and the trust fund babies who fuck up

To thes of cash under their beds Nope Instead, they all corow it

Even though I’m technically one of theh that really reen Fuck, theirs reener A new shade stained by the life taken to make it

Tonight, the ht here instead It will arrive dirty, smeared with the sins fro ends, the tainted blood will be gone, and they’ll leave with bills as clean as freshly washed laundry

My house is ready, and the staff is prepared The gain soon, so all I have to do noait

I hate this shit, but it’s a necessary evil Here, I’ll learn secrets Possess fortunes I will amass an empire
