DEFENDER'S RAP

•  
• been a little minute guess
• its significant that what my anxiety
• ain't got the guts to digest
• that' i'm back to spinning rhymes
• at tax time as the dogs of debt
• and loss tear at my feet,
• sense of peace, i aint found it yet.
•  
• dollars fly out,
• quality of life flattens and dies out,
• mouths of the hungry cry out.
• quarter tank getaway to the hideout
• we poor cuz the system don't wanna find out
• what a united, supported, connected people
• could bring into being
•  
• you see what i'm seeing,
• our hurt means that we're breathing
• if u hear this, then connection's real and
• their divisions what's deceiving
• is it all peace? i aint naive,
• but I'm not gonna add a barb, cuz life is hard
• w/o me adding to the beading
•  
• our shared humanity is a battle ground I ain't conceding
• fight to be won yes, so let's spar tils skills elite
• weild truth readily,
• honed edges steadily
• trained on the enemy, who drain our lives
• like a rent increase,
•  
• wage don't make a dent
• but the bills make a crease.
•  
• we all won't stay poor forever, you best believe.
