They tell us to pick ourselves up by the straps,but all of us don’t have boots
Some are born into wealth while the rest of us are forced to loot
We smile at the things that bring us SELF joy
But yet there are still kids with only one toy
How can we go on totally self absorbed
Those of us that have enough spend until we have no more
Enough isn’t enough like they say
And good is not great
As soon as you have a lot you have to work the next day
The ones that live amongst the stars close their eyes
They do this to pretend they don’t see the poor passersby
We are a community built on false unity
A place where the innocent are laughed at
The guilty granted immunity
The small boy with the big heart dreams of being a baller
The loud girl she—- Longs to be a doctor
But these dreams are hard to reach because someone miles away is the real shot caller
The father tells his children “be different and not the same”
The mom tell them that sometimes it’s okay to be called lame
But the children are naive to cons of the world everyday
They laugh and smile all the storms away
It is true that together we are better but we are all on different teams
Some of us wait for our blessings while others get what they want by any means
Stand with your neighbors because you are so close
The ones that stick together and support each other eventually succeed the most
