Never made NFTs or any corny cryptocurrencies
Engaging in behaviors that would serve to strictly work for me
Or oversell a promise via pitiful hyperbole
Only to disappoint
Then go on a shifting-burden-spree
The music been free
Never begged for help to pay my bills
Been fortunate in finding ways to earn a living staying real
Devoid of big investors, and the signing of predacious deals
Respecting my own ethics, and the fluke of my success as well
I work hard
But i won't deny that barely matters
Can't forget the friends and fans
The latter helped me climb this ladder
I ain't disparaging my peers who track a different channel
Just a quick reminder of consistency my actions pattern
Tons of dope musicians
Most who have my sympathy
That'll never see the same opportunities life's given me
So many good hard working folk everywhere in the world right now that never earn what they deserve
Security and dignity
Security and dignity
All we need is some security and dignity
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay
Look all around you
Then inside a little
They drain us of our blood, then they sell it to the highest bidder
And then we dare turn these monsters into pious figures
Shit ain't sweet
No, it's quite bitter
Give em a hand and they'll turn it into arms used to rob foreign lands
But the booty ain't for y'all
Take our labor and our resources
Barely trying to justify it
Still, we eat horseshit
When our own backyard is depleted of all dignity
They'll take our worth abroad and turn our siblings into enemies
To strip them of they value and identity
And this ain't a new matter
Man, they do this shit consistently
It's history
So, what's next
Revenge against those set against you
Guillotines for billionaires and depraved officials
All to make a void for the next devil to misuse
Killing a person never will resolve systemic issues
In the end all we need, really, is security and dignity
Each and every one of us deserves some security and dignity
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay
So, if we could look at it differently
Eyes open to the world, you'd get shook with epiphany
Security and dignity, what about integrity?
How could they call us equals in all this inequity
Far from being fair, far from suave and debonair
These one percenters got us scared, but it's numbers, so who cares
Quit fooling me, they'd rather write a eulogy than do something
Ask 'em to treat you humanly
They'll act as if you're pulling teeth, Watch Out!
You might get caught up when you're aging
This capitalistic wage slave chain gang
Or you might just end up selling out
Giving away your dreams is easier to keep the house
Well, fuck manufactured supply and demand
Fuck the Government they contrive and enchant
Growing up I had dreams that were wild and rampant
Put in the system I was in I'll never try it again
Damn
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, uh-huh
