Sometimes I feel like I can't be placed
but the prospects of life keep my hands at length
and I know that every step is a chance at fate
but the second I deny it is a chance at stake
and I can't really afford to miss opportunities
even tho avoids the poor like you and me
and with the struggle comes brotherhood and unity
and I understand if you gotta pursue your dreams
so why be mad if mine comes next?
cause in the lines of checks is my success
even though as an artist we have a right to stress
cause our families gotta eat so why do mines get less?
so I sit and wonder what I gotta do for proper food
cause the Dollar Menus ain't healthy for the modern youth
even if they throw fits I ain't stopping through
cause my kids deserve better so I do what I gotta do

is our thinking so strange
look us in the eye and tells us you don't see the same things
is our thinking so strange
tell us we're the only ones in the world that wanna see change

so strange
how fast the world change
like the old timers say it didn't used to be this way
desensitized to it now
another youth slain another brother lost another soldier down
six feet above ground and shit gets deep
cost of living high wages low can't catch sleep
or a break for that matter
you know it's bad when shots are fired
people look away but don't scatter
test scores low
unemployments high
the country sold it's soul on a loan that's subprime
in due time we shall all see the light
but for now a brush fire will illuminate the night
and hopefully the day will bring the sun and the rain
and we can smile and pray cause it didn't used to be this way
hopefully the day will bring the sun and the rain
and we can smile and play cause it never used to be this way

and as a kid
I never thought that this was life
now I sit trying to reach some new heights
no bills no worries picture us
now that the games over we live it up
