STEALTH WEALTH

The cost of living keeps on increasing
While our incomes remain the same
At the rate that we're steadily going
Many will be unable to fully maintain

This is nothing more than a game to the rich
The rules of which only truly benefits them
That trickle down effect is a disloyal ass bitch
It's all rigged so that only a select few can swim

While the remainder of us keep on drowning in debt
They'll tell us all to pull ourselves up with hard work
Failing to mention they came up off of daddy's check
Born with silver spoons and an established net worth

So those 40+ years of our hard work, blood, sweat and tears
More times than not fail to equate to much generational wealth
Many living in poverty work much harder than their rich peers
And have their big houses, cars and yachts in the mode of stealth
