Nowadays

I lose a bit of faith each day But each week a little bit is regained Yet the ratio seems to be off weight And it feels like we're too late To make real change It keeps slippin away Another day another dollar But talk like that man shit That really is the problem And that's period We ain't got room for no comma I'm serious We need a way to reclaim our honor Cause nowadays everything's About money Nowadays is about What you can get from me Nowadays Ain't nobody seem to care They all chalk it up to this life ain't fair Cause nowadays everything's About greed How can we make less for you So there's more for me Nowadays It's a game of monopoly F*ck where you need to live Cause I'm collecting properties Everythings so divided Well f*ck Trump And f*ck Biden And f*ck republicans and democrats On both sides alike then Cause the world ain't black and white Annnnd an eye for an eye Makes the whole world go blind So what's the price to save a life That you ain't livin in I bet it's less than the price tag Of a Mercedes' Benz And I'd be lying if I said I never stayed up at night crying Tears rolling past my eye lids While I'm staring at the sky Wonder when's it gonna be my time How long will I survive And what's the meaning of this life that we're living in I've been thinking back on it Asking for forgiveness for the sins I've been committing Ever since I was kid Take away a couple lessons I can pass on to my kin Hopefully they don't make the same mistakes that we did Yeah Are you listening children Give me a penny for my thoughts And I'll give you my two cents I'm apologizing in advance For the way we left this mess Cause nowadays everything's Entertainment Nowadays a paycheck Can't even pay rent Nowadays More arguments then debatin They just slip hidden agendas in legislation Cause nowadays everything's About profit Wish we could stop playing games And just pause it Nowadays Everyones so offended Call it anti-social media And stop pretendin The other day my buddy told me It's a dog eat dog world out there No joking You better go and get yours Before you get got Then I stopped and thought Are those the only options that we got And you can't even try to blame me for being cautious Of the machine that my sons been brought in They still got the nerve to ask me why I haven't bought in yet Where's my portfolio Of investments Why I haven't taken homes From families that need them Just to put them up for rent So they can cut me a check To fund my retirement So I can become a cyst And not a participant Of community were consuming
