Stop lying to me
what happened to the economy?
Once was boss
and now we bound
to dire straights and
everyone can relate.
I have a hunch that the big men
Don’t feel the crunch.
And all the while
I struggle to bunch pile pennies for my lunch.
Gas prices got me closed in
Food prices got me starvin
Cost of living through the roof
Now I’m borrowing
Trying to stay afloat by any means
Moneys so tight
every night
clasped asphyxiation constricts the foresight
I’m willing to work and work hard I will
But still
No work to deal
No work got me standing still
Willing to work for next to nothing
Just throw me a rope
Show me something
Hope!
I’m trying and trying
crying on the inside
so preoccupied
my tears have dried.
Take out our options?
We in a recession
Which possesses our life
I do what I can to survive
I try.
Nothing ever good enough
To get out of this rut
I stay positive through my music
But believe me times are tough
If it isn’t one thing its another
brother o brother
sepulture
for what?
I understand I’m not free from responsibility
Accountability is in me
But I am flexibility
Good and Bad so Rad
decisions of mine
made in haste
But what type of place
Ruins you after one two three many mistakes
No job no healthcare
No healthcare no healthy living
Falling deeper and deeper in that wormhole.
I accept the school-like concept the world
Fed me.
accrue all that debt and spend a lifetime
trying to reset
The life that everyone said
would be the easiest
Food that’s good for you cost more
I eat artificial cuz that’s all I can afford
Cooped up around my block
And all there is around me
Is a fast food nation killing me slow.
I pay taxes like the rest of them.
