Oh Yeah.

Ungainfully employed

Far from joy

Told to cool my jets cause it could be worse

Than being this puppet used in America’s employment like a toy

Constantly annoyed

While others try to avoid

Slip into a state of carelessness

Is no one else paranoid?

No amount of words I spit can truly have any weight

An overgrown ego let’s in no reason as it continues to inflate

Troublemakers make sure to talk, Money gets to walk

No one’s really anonymous when information shares the same fate: Leaked.

The problem isn’t simple, no matter the solution presented:

Work till you’re too dead to enjoy life, full of resent

Cut the throats of others young so that all you experience is decadence

Until someone decides to take it from you, living with a fear intense.

I can put pen to paper but it ain’t gonna change the fate you meet

Maybe help you figure out a new way to bow to your maker and take a seat

But it isn’t enough to change your life, so I turn the other cheek

If the world is gonna blow up, I wanna make sure the self-destruct gets its havoc to wreak.

My sentiments plateau, we all know where they’re gonna go :

In one ear out the other then you hit the doo’(door)

I can speak volumes and tomes for the mazes that you roam

But to me it’s just another opportunity blown.

See the truth is, that the world doesn’t learn like this

It has to be sick, violent, twisted no repentance

Religion and faith are supposed to make the ultimate saves

Yeah man, tell me that when you’re trying to take in the view from your grave.

Pretend you don’t understand my frustration

Like it’s just another figment of my overblown imagination

Then remember you’re part of the problem and breeding indignation

Keep toilin’ the fields to harvest for someone else’s plantation.

The fall-off is when you learn that you live only to end

That money gets you by, but never pays dividends.

Makes you give everything til your body breaks and your mind bends

Gives you enough cause to show up, but rarely gives you one true to defend

Maybe I’m in the wrong, It’s a piece of the puzzle I never understood

Hard to understand it when it can’t be associated with any element of good.

Don’t build your life or your family around it, because when it’s there it’s Zion

And when it ain’t, all the vultures take flight, and the Garden of Eden gets to dyin’.
