Modern Day Slaves
Masters getting paid as slaves get minimal wage
Salaries arranged based off letters on the page
B.A., M.B.A is how they convey our worth
If we can't play in the NBA or on green turf
Many Smurfs will disperse because of Gargamel
Seeking the purse while on Earth to escape a living hell
Fairytales aren't fulfilled if we ain't banking commas
It doesn't feel that thing is real that we call Karma
Cause those in power that devour and sour our stomachs
Keep finding ways to get away with so much excrement
Folks who're insolvent are trying to invent new personas
Faking it before making it as they try to get diplomas

This educational debt is indeed a ball and chain to the debtor. There are years and years spent trying to get out from under, years that could be spent buying a home, better vehicle, health care, and raising a family. And dude you mentioned Gargamel, just how much does Rudy Giuliani look like the cartoon character. We guess about as much as Mitch McConnell looks like the cartoon character Ichabod Crane or his plow horse. Tight piece dude

Trying our best to attain another man's idea of statis/success while following rules written by someone who does not wish happiness or success for us unless there is profit in it for these "others"

Poverty will always be there, the rich always making sure that they are always way. way. way above the ''maddening crowd''
