Aged in Oppression

 I’m  angry

So  damn  angry

Wanting  Peace

So  I  remain  suppressing

Guessing  its  me  and  not  society

Fair  shakes  are  given  to  players

So  my  condition  is   supposed  2b  this  way

I  could   feel  better  if  I would  only  give  in

To  seeing  it  there  way,  so  I  hit  the  highway

Drinking,  smoking  and  cussing,  gat  busting

Trusting  in  the  All  Mighty  currency  in  flowing

Me  a  River  of  dollars,  but  all  my  debtors  just  holla

While  I’m  living  in  a  prime  location  for  squalor

Sharing  my  parlor  with  tricks  seeking  treats  from  creeps

As  some  do  bids  coming  home  to  mo’ hungry  kids

Out  to  feed  on  reps  of  swallowing  bigger  fishes….

Wallowing  in  pools  of  despair,  like,  we  are  all  gathered  here

Never  there  on  the  other  side  of  grass  being  greener

I mean  the  corporate  plan  of  expanding  pockets  even  deeper

As  I  tune  in  to  the  speaker  in  the  house,  fighting  powers  that  be

Falling  back  because  I’m  scared  to  make  waves   due  to  a  cost  of  living

Holding  on  to  them  better  days,  that  I  know  but  not  from  yesterday

Cuz  the  other  day  was  payday  and  I  couldn’t  partake  without  ID

Although  they  seen  me  more  times  than  not  just  before  this  day

Hating  on  me  cuz  its  my  day  and  rate  of  pay  and  not  their  time

Forgetting  that  we  both  working  for  peanuts  to  feed  the  elephant  in  the  room

I  resume  and  outside façade,  as  a  wind  swept  cool  demeanor  instep

Reared  back  from  withholding  tax  on  followers  of  everyday  by  day  drama

Karma  is  a  bitch ,  so  I  ride  the  witch  not  only  on  my  back  but  fronting  on  me

As  this  land  is  unkind  to  unwanted  visitors  trying  to  come  up  with  weight  to  push

So  I  rolled  with  the  punches,  even though  my  growth  is  stunted  in  net  worth  numbers

Slumbering  in  the land  of  material  made  for  exploitation  is  a  highly sought  after  engagement

Wanting  sum,  I  do  admit  to  pitching  my  pennies  to  walls  hoping  to  find  few  dollars   more

In  store,  but  the  banks  reject  and  confiscate  my  funds,  from  scores  close  to  absolute  zero

Wrongs  never  righted  for  the  overly  plighted  as  the  most  haves,  make  laws  for  have  nots

Free  marketing  ill  will  to  masses,  but  regulating  my  passage  by  cameras   and  stops  2b  frisked

Even  though  I  ain’t  holding  skittle,  Sam  still  wanting  to  make  me  pay  for  visions  lying  to  me

So  I’m  angry,  so  damned  angry……and  this  Oppression ain’t  new….its  now  aged  and  still making us do  what  we  do!
