[Verse 1]:
I can go back and fourth with you about all the little things I never had
Whether shoes that just dropped
New whip just copped
Man I'm beginning to feel a bit desperate
Wasn't hard for me, envious state of mind
Confused after looking at the messages
Penning down what I seen
Tell it to Karim
People like me they just stuck up in between
My people are coming from other environments to escape horrors of theirs
I gotta whole family too
What I gotta see through
Eat a whole meal can't fill up on pears
12 hour shifts on my knees with the sun blazing more than suburban teens after cla**
Only thing I look forward to is watching the sunset so I can go get my cash, Ima fiend
A third of it cut, I'm surprised it's less than last time
Cause last time they robbed me for every damn dime, I wish I could leave it behind
But the clothes on my back be the same ones my great grandparents had sitting in the old room
Can't complain
Plus, I barely make enough to maintain, damn
I feel so ashamed, why was I raised
Placed in a hate filled place
Sleeping with aches, I need to stay sane
Looking to stay alive longer, yes I need gains
Put dirt on my name
Same kind I use to keep families from pain
When will this change?
[Verse 2]:
I'm on a come up with a mill, got too many knots and I swear they can fit my pockets
Got everything everyone else just copped but the style they think they can jock it?
Get up outta here and my face with all your bullsh** and nonsense
Talk that sh** I promise
Can't talk to you if I don't see progress
Of dead presidents forming in the conversation in its direction
Never took a lesson
Goddamn I'm stressing
I'm building up anger to level the tension
They tell me it can be gone, but gone is exactly what I feel
Forget about feeding the homeless, I'm tryna come up on another M, still
They talk about greed
But too many people don't talk about it
Rewarding the arrogant humans that forget the people who looked & doubted
Landscape of their homeland
With people they love all around em
Coming here for a chance to get a name, get some bread and public housing
Maybe if one, person can come
Into this office and into this country
I wouldn't be sitting here watching these people keep dying and die by the tons
How in the f**, is this all allowed
Saw a kid my age get taken, now he's Gods child
