I’m making an honest living Everything else I’m giving To keep the world spinning Yet I feel I’m not winning As others pass me Thinking they’re classy Their weapons blast me Causing pain everlasting They’re like crack addicts With attack tactics Viciousness attracted Their violence didactic They can’t spare the rock In this paradox Where they care for stocks And selling glocks Farmer Meets charmer A disguised harmer Dressed in social armor With wealth they flex For wealth is success Wealth can undress ****** impressed Materialism strangles With salesman angles The consumer tangled Becomes helplessly mangled Looking to turn the tables I cut my social cables A cutthroat mentality enabled Only financially am I stable A ****** Hunts me Grunting Bluntly About getting his dues Through cut and bruise Controlling the news So I know I’ll lose The social anxiety Inside of me Pirating The life of me From the strife I see Makes acting righteously Seem like goodnight for me To avoid being a fool I play by their rules By acting cruel To win this duel Of fatal competition That Satan envisioned For our moral dereliction From our paper prescription With no self esteem I join a selfish team With a hellish dream Believing genocide cleans I’m always conforming To not be a minority But a thorn in me Says I’m ******* I’m perched in the mist Of being purposeless So ******* purchases Drown my worthlessness When my heart is dying Yet I must keep producing I think that I’m trying Which is quite amusing After demon fusing I can’t see I’m losing I’ve morphed from a hoper Into an interloper Who’s splintered poker Becomes society’s choker
