Analysis of Chest Pain
Chest Pain..
Divided by Class & Wealth,
You Work until you Destroy Your Health
Governor says there's millions You See,
So Far Nothing For This Family,
Driving to interviews Dizzy & Pains in my chest.
So Damn Tired I just want to Rest.
Yet I cant rest I struggle & I strive,
Can't be sick this state will eat you alive.
I'm not a Slacker just looking for a hand out,
That is far from what I'm all about.
The Drug Dealing Neighbors seem to be doing just fine ,
Bribing The Landlord, Selling Death & Sucking Off The Taxpayers Dime.
A White Hot Rage Runs Down My Spine,
Yet remember Theres Millions To Help My Family Thrive,
It's Hard to Breathe as I come up with another plan just to survive,
Your not supposed to feel like your drowing everday,
I Find No Comfort It The Empty Words You Say.
I see the Big picture vividly & Clear
For My Class Life is Pain, Struggle & Fear.
Offer me a Fake Hand & Tell me Life is what you make it,
You should prolly just Walk Away before I break it.
