Bread and Water (feat. ageofdom)

No wonder blood smells like copper, trade it for some pennies
The Land sharks are loose and they're hunting for your shillings
You barely got your bearings and already need a new beginning
Cast a net to catch some fish that weren't yours to begin with
Living on borrowed time, borrowed capital
See through hollow eyes, your veins are tappable
Live in an enterprise, your death is taxable
I can empathize, The dread is palpable
Living in fear with the instinct
Jump in the water fall six feet down
Shackled to the things that we don't want to be
Freedom in the moment let the mind quiet down
Up and down from the skies and the seas
Fill me with ease
Spread it all around
Life is inside of your hands, so just make sure to not let yourself down
Into the flames, into the fire,
Immolate your ambition and all your desires
Fan the flames of not your destiny, manifest corporate entities, abandon your identity, cry in a soliloquy:
Bread and water alone? Please throw this stray dog another bone
Not another loan
I just want to have a home I can call my own
A place where I can make my peace and one day lay down my weary bones

Building up now to be better later on
What you gonna do when your back's against the wall
Body like a tank, mind something like a farm
It's the wrath of Dom nah, not the wrath of Khan
Getting up every time you get knocked down
No love lost where no love's found
Only given one shot so you gotta make it count
Got a lot on my mind so I gotta let it out

Keep stacking weight on our shoulders
It won't break backs till we're older
We can do much more than we're told of
So keep on pushing that boulder
Cain's dream has ended but he's not alleviated
Now he must rise and toil in the world he created
Full of those deeply hated for their hunger never satiated
Exponential growth and those who find themselves uniquely able
I got my first job at 16
Walking in shops with my resume
Ready for a new scene
Fresh in the game
Fresh was the name
Of my first job, quick shout out to my boy Steve
Forget a 401k
I can't keep my ambitions at bay
Hey
Too much time it takes
Our greatest asset has been commonly misplaced
Quotas to meet, deadlines to reach,
Numbers to crunch, souls to gut punch
Credits to push, sales to make
Money to take, smiles to fake
Focus on the numbers till you lose your reality
Those aren't people, they're projections
So don't sweat the disconnect and malcontent from your rejection of humanity
Just focus on that payout any cost make the competition die out in totality
So I gotta keep my dream
In sight and inside of my mind
Just like they say, sometimes it doesn't always feel like it's the right time
Different scene
Ya, in time I know things will be alright
Where I want them to be yeah, but for now I'm just right here cruising in mid flight
Soul crushing work turns you husk by 25
Question is how do even I know I'm still alive?
I think we've been desensitized
We need to decentralize
Zero Sum games, this idea one has to lose for another to gain
Why must one be penalized, Who says so anyway?
So when I leave earth don't put me in costly coffers
Extra expense for my sons and daught-ers
I know they'll have to make it by on bread and water
