Classes
|
I've got something to say about the state of union today
|
it's not a union, sometimes i wonder if it ever was
|
United states, united people, is it all just b.s. are we all created equal
|
correct me if I'm wrong, i hope i am
|
i stand in the lower class and i see no end
|
we're all just victims of income segregation
|
why must 3 classes separate the entire nation?
|
there's 3 classes, 1 on top and 1 below
|
the middle doesn't matter and neither does the low
|
the top irritate and subjugate the bottom two
|
try to deny it but they do it to you
|
now the masses are controlled by the minority
|
they have just wealth, not rightful authority
|
we see the rich pockets getting fatter, faster
|
what will you do, is money your master?
|
|
|
land of opportunities
|
i hear the word opportunity so many times I'm not sure what it means to me
|
all importance lost in a definition that's been spread to the masses
|
by the age of integrity
|
i hear the talk about stability, i start to realize this ain't the land of opportunity
|
i heard a story today about a man who had millions but no stories to tell
|
climbed on top of his mountain of money & found he was all alone
|
to live a life in the name of money was the opportunity he should have blown
|
no shit i realize, I'm not the only one
|
this happens everyday, you know it happens to everyone
|
i get real pissed off, & i throw my hands in the air
|
but i got my friends with me, so i don't care
|
don't tell me what i want, don't tell me what i need
|
don't tell me what i have or what to be taking, ill tell you what i want
|
don't worry about me, I've got my opportunity
|
|
i remember
|
when i think of my youth, i don't remember you, you weren't there
|
you didn't care, you still don't care, you never cared if i did, but i don't
|
it was a dream i had no choice, i couldn't scream i had no voice
|
to say or do anything, i was all alone and the hate did grow
|
and i remember what its like to be different, a constant fight, ya, i remember
|
you couldn't see no you couldn't feel, wake up from the dream just to find its real, yeah i remember
|
my mind was full of hate, my heart was empty i couldn't take it
|
it was your choice to leave, i hated you, did you hate me?
|
a fight for custody, over me, a piece of property, just filled me w/ confusion
|
empty thoughts, anger & illusions.
|
Do you remember me, that whining kid, that crying baby
|
the hate has evolved, problem solved, you don't exist, its all your fault
|
yeah i remember what its like to be a kid, that's not my life
|
you're nothing to me, you never were, that's pretty lame
|
i guess that's just the way it goes... but i remember
|
|
|
My life
|
what you think doesn't f@!#$ matter to me
|
i like my life, run by me how it's gonna be
|
i might decide to change my ways of i might decide to ruin your day
|
ok, i figured it out, 2 people and 1 chair that's what this life is all about
|
your life is just a single day, wake up & go to work, your death your escape
|
my life, it's all i have, it's something we share, & we die
|
wondering if and why, no i don't care
|
what you think you saw, you didn't see, & what you wanna be, you're never gonna be
|
my life is not gonna be that way, when i die I'll smile, cause i did it my way
|
take a run here's your chance come and get me, I've been beaten
|
but you'll never beat me, had your chance now it's gone, and it's up to me
|
i understand you, do you understand me?
|
understand one damn thing, it's my life, my way, my life, it's all i have
|
its something we share, wondering if and why no i don't care
|
wasting away wondering if you will die tonight, i wont waste 1 day of my life
|
|
should...
|
i guess I'm wasting my time trying to tell you how i feel, or
|
maybe
|
asking you how you see us, I'm confused but i know what i mean
|
i can never say it, i could hardly write it, you'll probably never
|
read this
|
i';m not going to sign it, no that's not me, it just seems this
|
is the way it had to be, not anymore i want you & me, this is the
|
way it had to be
|
should have would have could have had it, i blew my chance |
