Defeat Before Being Defeated

They got us held down
Like paper plates on a windy day
Out here killing our self
For a paycheck that's alrighty spent
We ain't like them
We can sprint till our death
And never come in eye sight of seeing ourself get ahead
Wear us down till our mindset leaves us mindless
Play with our emotions till we flip on who's closest
Leave a once loving couple full of hate and rage
Normal kids turn into those Mendoz boys
While the smoke rolls out our heads due to the fire they lit
Stomping around like king Kong
Pissed off but not sure what for
Then they stop the delivery
Turning green from the vomit that comes due to the sickness
Begging God almighty as we lay on floor
It's a no win situation
How can you one up something that you cant score on
Like being dirt poor trying to go on vacation
Have us pacing the floor
Breaking the blinds like a mental patient

They sit back in dark shades
Smelling like old spice
Wearing expensive slacks with the extra loop
A hundred dollar button up and shoes with exotic skin
How the he'll we going to relate to them
Quit trying and start knocking them off their pedestal
I know my worth and refuse to be devalued
Silence yourself
Refrain from singing praise in hope of them throwing some change
I'll snatch a chain before I lower myself to the level of a dick like them
What's a fucking dollar besides another's man income
I'll draw the line the keeps the walls up
Continue the separation but I will burn the labels you try to use describing me
And believe me
In due time when boredom kicks it
We will come conquer your tribe
Takeover the space you think is to good for me
You know how much cash you need to throw in order to stop me
Like Pac man to dots
Catch your twentys, fifties and hundreds
Then move on to the next board
Laugh when you try stopping me
Man I ain't afraid of no ghost
