What they need from you
What you are worth to them
Them is a people of need and displaced
I'll give you the honest truth,  
That no one really values you
Good luck trying to escape it
Just know that history can't erase it

Showing up with a broken back
Hopeful the overlords keep track
Hardworking and dedication out the windows
While Tad poles search in a lake of minnows

I'll give you the honest truth
That no one really values you
Good luck trying to escape it
Just know that history can't erase it

Reaching for more and feeling aspirational
Trying to accomplish goals so unobtainable
What they need from you
What you're worth to them
Them is the people in need and displaced

On your best day you feel alone
When your on the straight and arrow road.
Trying to grow yourself while you're aware that they wont.
