came out into the world
with a few friends and a degree
spent all my cash on it
but no one’s hiring
told us we’d keep rising up and up
trophies, ribbons, medals, love and such
even though we’ve been kicked in the shins more than enough
they just keep beating us up
dollars and dimes and cents
it’s been a while, where you all been?
finally on time with the rent
but the check bounced back again
being alive is a goddamn expensive feat
sharks salivate at the smell of my bleeding being
and the smaller the fishes the louder they promise some sort of relief
they found my skin tone threatening
now we’re facing down catastrophe
exxon wanted more money
now we’re dealing with a boiling sea
did anyone once even care for us?
all the old guard playing us for chumps
even though we’ve been kicked in the shins more than enough
