Brandon Jenkins - Livin Down on the Line lyrics

Poverty it's everywhere Money rules in everything They say it's just our cross to bear For all the things that money brings They're standing on the corners beggin' And they're crowdin' in the welfare lines We're all lookin' for something When you're living down on the line Survival here's a full-time job Pit bull's runnin' off the chain Better learn to k** and rob Take some pills to k** the pain They're fillin' up the prisons blatantly Makin' money off of them doing time Somebody's gotta lose son When you're living down on the line There's certain places you don't go There's just some things that you don't do You drive around these streets at night You mess around, they'll get you too They're callin' up the coroner To the scene of the latest crime You gotta learn to keep your head down boy When you're living down on the line
