started out with shit, working my way up
didn't have a pot to piss in, I used a cup
Don't try to tell me you ain't changed by your envirement
coming up worried, wondering about your retirement
this is real, I'm not lying
I can't feel, too many people dying
around me and they can't eat
hungry and cold living on the street
how can we change this and help the penniless
we all try in life, but it's just a game of chess
Pawns and rooks, cops and crooks
Some go for the books, some go for the looks
but it's all the same, hope and dreams
caught up in ourselves, we can't hear the screams
