The economy is not kind to me now i am facing reality.
Black,and living in poverty I find it it hard to see beyond my community.
My expectation lacks education, But i am not the only one in this situation
There's many thats underprivilaged who can't afford medication, now
this creates frustration.
The cost of living is going up, while the crime rate is blowing up
which only leaves dreams of coming up,but reality finds us stuck.
In the battle fields fighting for our rights,but who has the right to fight
The rich gets richer,and the poor gets welfare.
Those fortunate don,t care if they never been there
Teenage moms are left to raise a child
While trying to live a lavish lifestyle. Living beyond there means
chasing there dreams.
It seems that there father won't even bother to face there responsabllties.
such humility
to the blackrace this is truly a slap in the face,
and the kids don,t even a have a clue or rather a trace.
Wheres the justice its not just-us this goes out to all the
minorities living in poverty in our society.
