Complexity

Spending I am just spending

Desire in me running

Essentials I am buying

Money I am wasting

 

Money does indeed grow on trees

If that were true I would be pleased

Lawn moaning would be a hobby

Performed by the white lobby

 

Discrimination everywhere I look

The people fed up emotionally shook

A new page in the chapterbooks 

Anarchy over reigning crooks

Rain is trully the metaphor

And reality is a unfiltered door

My eyes closed up inch by inch

I coundn't take the corrupt stinch

The stinch of racism and pigs

Wearing white and blue or black rigs

Pointing firearms in bigotry

Trying to kill everyman of poverty

Time to stand up and fight

With our words and feet 

To kill the big old racist heat

 

Spending I am just spending 

Consumerism in me running

Essentials I am buying

Tears of blood I am crying
