Pockets Drownin in the economy
an sovereignty seemin to be absconding me
stuck in a state of poverty, an honesty
“I don’t know If I can hang on”
But a man stays strong,
even when his chips are down, he plays on
deprived so I have ta make pawns
just to pay my damn bills,
this shit can make a man feel like a landfill
depression leadin to crammed pills
to numb away these stressful days
I cant escape the stress of getting paid
Bet these oxy’s ll fade that away
the pain of tryin to get some pay today
or laid some way, gravity has paved the way
cuz if there’s no up there’s only down
and at rock bottom there’s only ground
why is any one able to hold me down
if im solely crowned, king of my self
than why am I held by the dying of wealth
I try but I dwell, on the tide’s rising swell
Involved in the mining of hell
Perpetually stuck a product of my environment
Its as if I was conspired against,
To never see retirement as a requirement
tired of being fired quick, but what can I do
when the music influence is my only fuel
my only tool in a sand desert it’s the only jewel
