Thoughts on Society

It's funny how nobody cares till you write them a song
It's funny how nobody care till you do something wrong
I'm giving all that I can take and it's still not enough
You're seeking the top of the world? then you're thinking too small
I picked myself up when I start fall
No one wanted involvement

I'm making myself into something
Not asking for nothing
I used to think Kanye
Was the way to go
But if I gain fame will I lose all control?

Nah I'm keeping my soul
Giving up on my goals?
That's not even a choice
Give me a voice
I don't want the money or fame
All I want is for people to hear what I'm saying

I've been struggling with living this way every day
Yeah this life is a game
But it's rigged for the young ones who play
The minimum wage keep on raising
But Nothing is changing

The living expenses are higher
The way that we deal is to find a supplier
So rather than feeling we all go get higher

Im tired
I started a business at twenty
Let's talk bout the money
It's never enough
It's a piece of paper we value too much
But I call it a crutch
They want you to spend all your money on stuff
They're gaining the profits
While you're getting nothing

"But the the minimum wage just went up"

You know what else going up?
Everything else
So we're stuck in this cell
That's called personal debt
It's the way that the government keeps us in check
I been working to find a way outta this mess
But what do you do when the system against you
Well many would say
"There's nothing you can do"

So then I should give up too?
Let me tell ya
I came to LA
With nothing to my name
I was living in South Gate LA
For the first month I partied all day
I was losing myself in the temporary

But look at me now I'm running a business
You blinked and you missed it
Yeah, I was a misfit
But the things, you thought made me weak
Really made me a threat
That not most would not expect

So what I'm trying to say is
This world is unfair
But that doesn't mean you can't win
Life is defined by you

So make it
Into
What you want!

Yeah I got tired of making excuses
So I made it true
No more proving to people
That I'm not a screw up
I try to make due
But the struggle is there
Cuz starting a business is not something rare

Nobody knows who you are
That's unfair!
Well no one cares
You Better make something up outta yourself
Cuz No one is coming to help

I'm just keeping it true to myself
Only I have control
That's a part of my soul I will never let go
Cuz I'm not giving up

So have a good night at the club
Oh and tell the fam that I say wassup
But I'm too busy working on stuff

Yeah I been in a crowd
But my voice will be heard
All I want is to better the earth
I can do that through music
I know that I can
That's a part of the plan

You don't care bout my name
And that's really okay
But if you believe in the things that I say
Please stand up for your dreams
And don't let no one take em

No more faking on socials
I'm tired but hopeful
Worked hard for a year
And it just started showing

I'm building myself outta nothin
(Why you frontin)

Some people get mad that they're nothing
But they're doing nothing to further themselves

(Wait what?)

They're stuck in a cell of their making
The money's the time that they're wasting
The choices you're making are not very wise
You're selling your time
But not spending it wisely

Money is coming
But Time is a thing
You can never get back
So use what you have
I don't want wanna look back and see things that I wish that I'd done
I just hope that the love that I have is enough
