Man I'm fed up
Have to work extremely hard to keep my bread up
Trying not to sink got to keep my head up
The executives are out of touch with reality
They do whatever to increase their salary
When bottom feeders can barely eat
What's 50 thousand a year  with 55 thousand in student loan debt
Some catch millions and cool while I'm hot I sweat
Playing catch up like I'm down 40 points
In the fourth quarter over working my joints
I'm fed up with racing against the poverty line
Its on my heels Lord don't let me fall behind
In this society that's driven off of finances
Why does one person need 5 mansions
With one gasoline can I won't even need 5 matches
My saliva is lighter fuel..
This capitalism mind set Lord set fire to it
I shouldn't purchase unless you desire me to do it
If I cannot find self control than I'm forever losing
I want to be rich
Not for me but for those stranded in a ditch
Teach them self empowerment
I'm fed up with this system
Its feels like something's missing
Integrity goes out the window when there's no more cake in the kitchen
