Opening Act

Two kids Angel and Jess
Last night, I laid them to rest
To sleep, they're not dead
But the time is ticking, my family not fed

We're out of rice, we're out of veggies
We're out of chicken, we're out of meds
Only got two cans of soup, a bag of fruit
Dry oregano, and some nasty bread

This colony, man, how'd I make it
You don't work for food, it's allocated

See the systems messed up, they don't want to question
You work hard, nah there ain't no security, pension

And people steal too
I'll admit, I had to steal too
Daughters say they want real food
Favourite butterfly is teal

My existence is a mess
Talked to missus, she is vexed
We suffer, struggle living under stress

The higher ups in this colony
They hoard the food like it's quarantined
We're all screwed, and it's all to me
To figure out what to eat next

Two kids, Angel and Jess
You can say that we're depressed
Distorted, misfortune
The militia like to deploy units
And come destroy our campgrounds
Our rich soil
People are disloyal, steal our food and leave the tin foil

Tribunal, been afraid
Propaganda, inundated
Kicking sand just to entertain us
No Allah, who to send our prayers

Yo foot on gas to accelerate
Like I'm tryna last, I can't take a break
So I gotta but come up the in clutch
Both of my daughters they're asking for lunch

And l don't have an answer
You got eat baby, I know it tastes rancid
Gotta start a revolution
Now I've got to take my chances
Heartbreak with my wife, kids man
I hate looking at their glances
I hate looking at their glances

Angel's three years old
She was born with wings
Jess is two years older
She likes fall and spring

Jess says in the winter, she misses butterflies
When they go to sleep, we sing them this lullaby

Please listen to me
We gon see the light
We're about to feast
We gon sleep alright

We stay on this trail
Make it through the night
Swear we cannot fail
If we say we have tried

Please listen to me
We gon see the light
We're about to feast
We gon sleep alright

We stay on this trail
Make it through the night
Swear we cannot fail
If we say we have tried

Please listen to me
We gon see the light
We're about to feast
We gon sleep alright

We stay on this trail
Make it through the night
Swear we cannot fail
If we say we have tried, ay
We have tried, ay

Your household food allotment for the month is ready

Retrieve your household food allotment now

Now? Is this, is this all of it?

Retrieve your household food allotment now

This'll feed like one of my kids. Where

Retrieve your household food allotment now

I've gotta re-enter this c

*beeping*

Can I enter my code again? It's not

Retrieve your household food allotment now. You have 10 seconds

Who? Wha

Ten, nine, eight, seven

Retrieve your household food allotment now

Three, two

What am I gonna tell my wife?

Have a good evening

I gotta feed my kids
