Track 2 off of the upcoming mixtape, Paper Trees
lyrics
Rich rappers talk about dope, cars and cash
Imam spit about all the money I don’t have
Trying to make a living on minimum wage is tough
Cant afford to go out or buy any nice stuff
Growing up with kids who were forever spoiled rotten
I’d say Ive worked hard for most of the shit ive gotten
Barely getting by, might as well be picking cotton
But imam make it out okay, that’s a promise
Cause I know ive got potential
Anything that happens now, is sequential
Saving leads to money, and money leads to power
Power leads to fame and making thousands by the hour
En, but for now, im still struggling
Wish I had the balls to do illegal shit like smuggling
Living paycheck to paycheck is actually quite humbling
Is it any fucking wonder the economy is crumbling
HOOK
Oh ive been poor for so long
The difference from right and wrong is
A tricky thing to grasp when
All it does is haunt you
Ive been digging so hard
This holes too deep, its left me scarred
I know
The grass is green, the skies are blue
Everybody knows that the cost of living is high
Ever since 911 the prices hit the sky
Nearly impossible to keep up with the intensity
Of rying to make ends meet, on 10 25
Minimum wage is a joke
25 percent of our nation’s considered broke
20 percent of those people have jobs
for the work we put in, were all getting robbed!
Every Canadian overworked and underpaid
The only jobs available, within the skilled trades
American companies invading all of our space
Feeding off the system we worked hard to set in place
I guess you could say im speaking for all of us
Harper creating more jobs, that was all a bust
This is for everyone whos struggling at home
All I can say PC, throw us a bone
HOOK
