Black boy
Got the job
Hasn’t even worked once
He’s fucked up
Ten times a month
But he’s his mommas good son.
Driving drunk
Eating junk
Shaking up and down your trunk
Shooting drugs
Shooting guns
Shooting friends just for fun
We are killing for the last place spot
We are headed for a dead end stop
We are riding on the edge
Keeping up the pledge
We’re living in the red
We’re not paying off our debt
We are dead.
It’s the end.
My fathers father was in Aerospace
My mothers mother was the daughter of a man who built this state.
(His statues great)
My father served and is a general
My mothers job is federal
That’s how I got into the west wing.
We are killing for the last place spot
We are headed for a dead end stop
We are riding on the edge
Keeping up the pledge
We’re living in the red
We’re not paying off our debt
We are dead.
It’s the end.
Ooo, it’s just the end.
Selling secrets
For a dollar
When it breaks
Why even bother?
Buttoned up
straight to your collar,
Only working
As a scholar.
What is your legacy?
Is it the hole in the ground you’ll leave?
I fell up the ranks
Running tens of banks
And no one seems to say thanks.
We are killing for the last place spot
We are headed for a dead end stop
We are riding on the edge
Keeping up the pledge
We’re living in the red
We’re not paying off our debt
We are dead.
It’s the end.
