Health

Some say the man who takes no action in the face of evil shares the guilt
But I wasn't here when this place was built

When people are stripped of names and given labels they're dehumanized
That's not Josh Stevens sleeping on the street that's another homeless guy
And you know homeless guys bums and junkies tellin lies stealing
And stinkin lazy and drinkin who even cares if they die
The disassociation created by labels enables genocides
Keeps the fears rationalized keep the tears outta ya eyes
If ignorance is bliss then most are happiness personified
And even when people extend a hand to help they want a prize
Appraisal, approval, followed by prompt removal
Give him a shirt give him a sandwich then get him out of here he's got a screw loose
People call the cops but the cops aren't qualified
The cops don't study mental health they study which laws to abide
So if that man aint violent they just take him back outside left in the streets
To sleep in the streets to eat from the trash and here's why
The bulk of the systems in place are only in place to protect people's assets
Not to provide the unmet needs of what people don't have yet

Why's there always money for law makers and not educators?

So where does money come from, and what is money really worth?
Time is money and money is power and power corrupts then time is a curse
First we traded, and then we bartered, and then we created credit
A hundred thousand years later and everyone I know is in debt
I'm a wage slave with an open grave my path is paved til my back breaks
But I can't afford to break my back that's how I'm in this mess in the first place
Now I'm not looking for handouts, I want to work want to pull my weight
I want to be able to buy shit without the pot being scraped
And I'm already workin 40 plus and the principal ain't even bein touched
And people seem more interested in the interest gettin that first cut
It's disproportionate how much I paid for this education
Cause fuck me for not going into a more lucrative occupation
Dog eat dog Darwinism is an irrelevant justification
When symbiotic relationships are proven better, I'm sayin
The army of the unemployed is part of the ploy
To keep you paranoid you got families stabbing each other in the back let
Who the fuck are your "boys"

Why is there always money for politicians and bigger prisons?
Why is it practically a crime to be a student full time?
Why is there always money for law makers and not educators?
Why is there always money for law makers and not educators?

And what the fuck is a president? a figurehead barely relevant
I don't mind payin taxes if i could say how them taxes are spent
But nah, its not like I can call the cops and ask em to fix my teeth
For that, I gotta prove how much how I make to a stranger and plead
And hope that I'm broke enough to qualify cause I can't afford to lie
And get caught somewhere down the line and pay some type of fine
For being poor in the first place! I always have my bills paid
But after the taxes and after loans there really aint much left to save
And I'm tryin to save my sanity so I spent what little is left on a couple hours
In front of a microphone to get shit off my chest
And open enrollment's closed go figure, but I wonder
If there's an plan that recognizes that this mic keeps the gun outta my hands
Nah, you can't spell record without spellin rec
And they cut funds for rec centers every chance they get

Why is there always money for law makers but not educators?
Why is there always money for law makers but not educators?
Why is there...

Oh, we done?
