It seems like the largest homes Have the most broken family. Look at all the stuff, it can't fill the hole, You are still alone, while I get a loan, You can't get along, I am barely standing. Afraid, they buy up safes and guns, Afraid, while the children get bored and high off drugs. They do it to escape their minds, They buy designer drugs to pass the time. Then once all the fun is done, They go back to an empty mansion. Return to responsibilities then remember, They don't have them. I represent a lower middle class, People ask me what is that, They don't understand. Let me explain like this, I don't qualify for assistance, I don't collect stamps, I can't afford a *** to **** in, I've got debt from the world just spinning. I'm not upset, I keep my head to stay modest. But I still feel the shackles of life, if I'm being honest. Every person shakes your hand and smiles, With a knife to hold, you sell your soul. The tiny printed stamp goes on for miles. They only let you get ahead once you break the bread, That holds your morals and convictions, Then turn and give the same hand shake, To the next man who will listen.
