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!
So damn angry
Wanting Peace
So I remain suppressing
Guessing its me and not society
