This is for my folkers who got bills overdue
This is for my folkers, um, check, one, two
This is for my folkers who never lived like a hog
Me and you, toe to toe, I got love for the underdog
Living in a world where the system puts us down
Trying to be happy, be good, but behind closed doors we frown
Work grind, school grind to put money in our pockets
But we're fucked unless we find a way to stop it
A 9-5, a day at school
Institutions making this class look like fools
We chasing paper for a better future
Trying to be winners, not the losers
In a race with the world where do we stand?
Trying to provide for the boy, girl, womyn, or man
This is for my folkers who got bills overdue
This is for my folkers, um, check, one, two
This is for my folkers who never lived like a hog
Me and you, toe to toe, I got love for the underdog
It's all a competition for the top
But where do we know when can we stop?
The road to success is long, undetermined
But how can we? If we're not even learning
How do we teach our kids how to be happy and succeed?
If moms and pops walking out the door, time to leave.
Bills piling up, arguments on how to pay
Shit adds up one day after one day
Before you know it, homie be slanging
While another is locked up for banging
What's wrong with the world, why are we here?
Why does our society shed so many tears?
This is for my folkers who got bills overdue
This is for my folkers, um, check, one, two
This is for my folkers who never lived like a hog
Me and you, toe to toe, I got love for the underdog
It, they, who they are, the people in power
Making paper, cutting down trees and flowers
We all hustling to stay steady, make ends meet
Trying put food on the table, make sure the family eats
I don't needs any coins, I need change
A change in society, a change in the game
I want our children to not know struggle, not like this
Not worrying about a paycheck or a bill missed
Enough on the table, enough in the bank
Not like now, how our finances have sank
We forget to live and work to death
But even then ends are not met
Impossible to survive on less than enough
Giving up and turning to drugs
System has got us fucked like we're cogs
But we're irreplaceable, we're underdogs
This is for my folkers who got bills overdue
This is for my folkers, um, check, one, two
This is for my folkers who never lived like a hog
Me and you, toe to toe, I got love for the underdog
