Minimum Wage

Making ends meet on minimum wage
Stuck inside systematic cage
System got flaws and it plays it's tricks
Rich men act like dirty dicks
Space trips cuz fuck poverty
Paid it with inequality
Sitting on wealth like a legal thief
Running this cycle of global grief
Sitting on wealth like a legal thief
Running this cycle of global grief
System got flaws and it plays it's tricks
Rich men act like dirty dicks
Clocking in and out like every single day
Freedom don't even seem underway
Go to work with chronic pain
Give fake smiles and forget yo pain
All day long survival mode
At work I gotta switch that code
Trade my life in to fill my plate
Poverty a business white men made
Trade my life in to fill my plate
Poverty a business white men made
All day long survival mode
At work I gotta switch that code
Eight to five tied to a screen
This ain't freedom I wanna scream
Endless cycle on repeat
Finish that report on excel sheet
Profit over people everyday
Gamble with our lives they play
Forty a week and barely survive
System ain't built for us to thrive
How do I thrive on a minimum wage
Rent is due in a few days
All the time I am climbing hills
Losing track of all these bills
Need a sick can't afford
Basic needs we ignore
Barely getting through the month fuck
Numb my pain with that blunt
I feel I can't even breathe
They lied when they said I'm free
Cost of living be so high
I'm just tryna get by
Making ends meet on a minimum wage
Stuck inside systematic cage
Work life balance a luxury
There's no time for recovery
Years of pain clocked in my bones
Stressed about all those damn loans
System is a trap it stands on our back
My body pays high emotional tax
How can I be free when the system is a cage
Don't ask me where I get this rage
You feel me
