00:00 You may know this
00:01 Well, this song saved the life of the singer who wrote it
00:08 We are in the 2010s in the United States
00:10 And what's going on in those years?
00:11 It's the crisis
00:12 The United States is in a recession
00:14 Unemployment is exploding
00:15 Not an incredible period
00:16 At that time, Aloe Black works as a consultant
00:19 In a big American company of financial advice
00:21 Where he earns his living pretty well
00:23 But unfortunately for him, in view of the crisis
00:25 The company in question decides to reduce its employees
00:27 In other words, to fire people, including Black
00:29 He goes from a rather comfortable situation
00:31 To a situation of unemployment
00:33 And says to himself that his only solution
00:34 While waiting to find a job
00:36 Is to try to make some money with music
00:38 He therefore composes an album
00:40 And towards the end of the composition of this album
00:42 He realizes that he has a rather stylish instrumental
00:44 That he wants to use
00:45 But he can't write lyrics on it
00:48 He tried many things on this instrumental without success
00:50 So he ends up taking up an old text
00:52 That he had written
00:53 Which speaks of the situation in America
00:55 The recession, the lack of money
00:56 And the lack of humanity
00:57 These lyrics match perfectly with the instrumental
01:00 The sound gives "I need a dollar"
01:01 And this sound will allow Aloe Black
01:03 To never have to look for a job again
