DEFENDER'S RAP

• Sometimes I miss the me in 2014
• The pre-teen with big dreams, no care in the world about what society expected him to be
• Being carefree had no cost, but all was lost when I hit a growth spurt and my clothes tore at the seams
• I grew an inch or two now the shoe no longer fits, my feet have no room to breathe
• 8 billion peeps, it’s easy to feel like a nobody
• In a world full of somebodies who become cutthroat at the slightest whiff of money
• Billionaires would scoff and find that funny, but those are fake laughs to hide the fact that when it comes to bills, they’re super hungry
• Numbly cutting rates of loyal employees for too many sick days, enough with the sick glaze
• Protest and you get canned by mass firing squads. In other words, a big blaze
• This economy is more confusing than a highway with six lanes. Drown us in debt, and when it needs paid
• They call upon the most recent generation to provide and when they can’t, the old heads rage
• And claim we need to get a better financial strategy
• When the one they’ve been following for years is about to plunge us into nuclear tragedy
• I don’t wanna hear nun about what you think defines a hardworking man
• When you believe it’s every man for himself and never lend a helping hand
• Thinking it’s our responsibility to account for years of reckless spending
• If we held a debt that long we’d be thrown into prison, release date pending
• When I try to see myself in 10 years, I struggle cause society is on a shaky foundation
• We’re taught to get along when we got world leaders sending troops to civilians’ doorsteps to X them out of the equation
• They say it’s cliche to wait for it to pass, they call me an internet missionary
• But all will reveal itself in God’s timing, that’s why I keep a pen and dictionary
• To encourage everyone to take time to smell the roses before they wilt and whither
• And make Jesus your refuge in the cold winter, your faith will never splinter
