Budgeting Errors

Synopsis: The budgeting and financial errors come to light as the head of the household expresses his mistakes. Lesson learned.
My errors began at the apartments called the Oasis Club
Notice, I said "my errors"; accountability runs through my blood
You mentioned you couldn't afford not even half the bills
So I thought it was smart to show you my power of will
I decided to put all the financial pressures on me
Didn't know the extent to how that would affect me mentally
With both incomes known, we should have sat at the table
To discuss our financial future; instead, I was the one to enable
Your faith put an obstacle in front of you to look ahead
"The world will end soon"; those were the words you said
I should have disregarded and focused on investing that bread
The lesson learned in loss keeps my status a thoroughbred
You're not the blame; your environment programmed your brain
But my environment is switched, as well as my thought train
Nowadays, it's like I'm in Babylon with a mind like Arkad
My mind on my money with a savings habit that's ironclad
