about

Looking further into the environments I find myself in and seeing why society and the system we live in sucks so much

lyrics

Stop pissin' in my pigeon noodle soup
Feedin' me chicken sittin' in the same grease for weeks
It's not fittin' for decent livin' got leaks in the ceilin'
Rats in the street and buildins, no heat I'm not chillin'
No sleep police killin' the children
Judges not givin' a fuck, got no feelins
There's no will n no way, you gotta pay to play, there's no millions
Only minimum wages for skill n cages fillin'
The game is appealin' for those with top billin' winnin'
Those on the bottom got problems not proper options for healin'
Who wanna be kneelin'? beggin for what others get with no effort
Concealin' the gap not revealin' the facts
Nobody's hearin' til/here until we really react,
Attack the system that insists we adapt

Hook: Show me no respect and tell me I am poor

Hood dwellin' can make a good felon,
Coulda been a freshman, dentist or reverend
Instead led in descending directions
Never expected better never heard they deserved an investor,
Not astounding In these surroundings they found no measure
Of value for renters who own nothing and owe something monthly,
Daily people judging comparing, not carin', starin'
Not sharin' or lovin' thinkin' the worlds above em
And nothings below em who's gonna show em different
It's hot in the kitchen, everybody dipped and
Who's left is dismissed and forgotten
Not uplifted despairin' not repairin' declarin' they're not committed
Wary not scary unprepared but not ignorant
indifferent considering conditionin's deliberate
I figure it's a side effect of neglect isn't it?

Hook

They say you ain't shit if you can't pay shit
If you a patient then you better make ya payments
From birthdates to funeral arrangements
The population exists as bank statements
And credit scores stay indebted inflation depression
You're poor, if you can't afford your stake in the war
You're worthless beyond your purpose
Of circulating a currency what worries me
Is seeing every being reduced to a use and a fee
And reasons ain't even excuses they use this stupid position
We didn't give em as permission to hoard
And deliver provisions its survival of the fattest not the fittest
It isn't magic to elicit what we need to survive
Without attachment to a system that don't consider our lives
A significant prize just an instrument to implement a lie
And we give in unwillin' to sacrifice.

Hook

Raggedy &?

Formerly known as LMNOP; Raggedy &? is like the drama class drop out who never found a place in the made up, glossed over, airbrushed, costumed school of hard shots where everyone is sexy and famous. Not made of plastic, Raggedy &? is made of fabric (and yarn and buttons n what not); a real throw back that makes you wanna go back to the days when things felt less phony. ... more
