This world will pull you down
Gotta fight to survive
Just to make it out alive
And that's real
Got laid off on a tuesday night
Two weeks later the money ran dry
Can't turn on the heat, can't afford the lights
How's he gonna make this right?
Got a wife all alone with two kids at home
And one on the way
And he can't find a job so he lost his car
Now the rent is late
Theres gotta be a better way
This world will pull you down
Gotta fight to survive
Just to make it out alive
And that's real
Down at the liquor store
He's pacing back and forth in front of the door
Pulls the ski mask over his head
Prays to god and decides, it's time to go in
"Now everybody get the f*ck on the floor
This ain't like me, iv'e never done this before
Just give me the money and noone gets hurt."
Then one shot from a cop left him dead on the floor
Step back, and take a look within
Are you that much different from him?
Where the f*ck do you draw the line
On how to survive?
This world will pull you down
Gotta fight to survive
Just to make it out alive
And that's real
Times like these
Pull crimes like these
Out of honest men
Over and over again
