I feel that there's a cage inside my being
no matter how ******* high I jump
I never reach the ceiling
turn on the daily news and all I see is killing
bullets fly from clips but there isn't really meaning
in the blood shed that's spilling ever further
I don't even want to be a ******* father
cause my kids would inherit a sub par
school system, and it'd be worse if I got a daughter
guys with sick thoughts always picking on her
what happened to good old fashioned honor?
Hell I can barely afford community college
It's not like I'm a low life, just got an empty wallet
Work a minimum wage job if thats what you want to call it
but even 9 dollars an hour doesn't count as profit
when the government turns around, grabs half a pay check and swallows it
The good get put on blast while the bad get ******* all of it.
Not finished...rap
