Charcoal fills my lungs when I breathe in this air
Crooked eyes greet me in the streets of despair
Fish blood on the sidewalk reeks with no care (Care)
Man stomped down 'cuz he didn't flee or beware
Hope f*cking simply doesn't seem to be there (There)
Shopkeepers draw a smoke between every stare (Stare)
Not a single smile to be seen anywhere (Where)
Fat cats counting stacks like they been unaware
Which would you choose to lose first - teeth or your hair?
You'll be rich before they get cleaned or repaired
Electricity bill knocking seeking its share
While the previous 3 months still creep on the stairs (Stairs)
Last attempt to lower ditch the heat and compare (Pare)
Sit wrapped up so you don't freeze in the chair (Chair)
Clothes dirty no detergent hand and feet are bare (Bare)
Don't take our apartment man please please please it's not fair
Bills
Pain
How do we keep things the same?
Pills
Gone pain
Pills 'cuz the doctor keeps away

Just save some change yo
Just get the pape' bro
Sell your vacay home
Just lose some weight ho
Just get in shape bro
Just quit the smokes yo
Just start just do ju- just just
Now let's delve deeper in the darkness of this life
I know you don't wanna hear this shit, neither do I
But I'm a human I can't help it
I see pain I can't shelf it
In my mind it's infected
With ideas that can never die
(Ideas always survive)
People bury them deep inside
They prepare lies for themselves and others eyes
But this shit just gets funny when you realize
One friend makes in a month what another spends in a night
Out having fun, vodka gin whisky rum
Outspending their parents' food budget and then some
College kids making a tissue run
Worth their grandparents year of pension funds
Spending all that cash on f*cking napkins
Yeah you heard that right
Spending all that cash on f*cking napkins
What the f*ck is wrong with these people
Wasting stacks to flex your status ain't nothing new
But their kids won't even go to school
'Cuz they don't really have boodle
It's just so f*cking sad and cruel

Just don't break the law
Nothing more disgusting than a schmo
Who sold his soul and persona for a gold
Watch and watches all his old buddies
Barely afford a fourth hand accord
Thinking it's their fault
That their morals aren't flawed
'Cuz after all
He did study, work, learn and read hard
Book-smart yet still a retard
Chase the numbers buy diplomas
Get them clothes ignore those close
Get the cars get the hoes and spray 'em over
Get your money sent
1 2 3 m or kay then
Never let it end
More is more
But enough is not
You cant even hold em all but it's all right the drugs are affordable
God forbid you drop the ball
F*ck that guy he deserves to crawl
He didn't give it his all
Meanwhile you busted your ass in the west
All the stress just to try and impress the vapid
And rapidly have them undress
Do your best to fill theirs
And have em fill your own hollow emptiness
