Student Debt Trap

[Verse 1] Went to school, had dreams so high, But the cost of knowledge left my pockets dry. Degrees stacked, but the debt won’t quit, Chasing success, but the cost feels thick. Loans piling up, a lifetime to repay, Every step forward, more debts to weigh. Education’s the key, or so they said, But now it feels like a ball and chain instead. Chorus Student debt, a trap we can’t escape, Paid in tears while the lenders take. Futures sold, dreams deferred, In a system that left us underserved. [Verse 2] Classes pass, but the price stays high, While opportunities seem to pass us by. Worked hard, but the pay’s too low, Caught in a cycle we can’t control. Generations grind for degrees to lift, Yet the rewards feel like a myth. Pressure builds, ambitions fade, In a system that feels so mislaid. Chorus Student debt, a trap we can’t escape, Paid in tears while the lenders take. Futures sold, dreams deferred, In a system that left us underserved. [Bridge] It’s not just numbers, it’s dreams we chase, Yet the burden falls in an unfair place. From classrooms to careers, the weight is real, A system that leaves us feeling frail. Outro So we fight for change, for a future that shines, Where knowledge leads to more than just time. No more debt traps, no more lies, Just a pathway to realize our skies.
