If you ever heard Lifes a B***h by Nas & Az you should know this line. "The buck that bought the bottle could of struck the lotto". I like this line alot.
Think of the"buck" that Nas is talking about as time. Martin Luther King once said that time is neutral. It is neither good or bad. It can be used constructively or destructively, it depends on the individual. Some people use their time constructively, they may be educating theirselves with a book , or creating through art, or anything else in that nature. Some people are destructive with their time. Things like "playing the block" all day , or watching tv all day , any inactivity is destructive in my opinion.
Nas in this lyric uses his "buck" to buy a bottle of liqour. This is a destructive use of his "buck". However since the "buck" is neutral being neither good or bad Nas decided that the same "buck" or dollar that he used to by the liqour could have gotten him a winning lottery ticket.
So how are you using your time ? Are you using it constructively or destructively. Are you getting drunk with the same dollar that you could have been using to make you rich ? It all comes down to you and your choice. Choose wisely my friends .
