Yes I admit
That life’s been rough
But I’m not looking
For free stuff
Cos I’m resilient
And I’m tough
So tell me
Have I said enough

Must I further
This discourse
When it’s clear to me
You have no remorse
Despite free labor
Done by force
Perhaps you need
A history course

I’m not looking
For sympathy
To reinforce
Your hegemony
I just want
For you to see
I don’t value
What comes free

If I have to name
One gripe
I hate it
When you stereo type
Because I think
I’ve earned my stripe
So I’m not trying
To be liked
