The future of the downman

I was the one that they all had to put down
Tell me lies just to see if my face frowns
yes the days they are just so hard 
Im so alone im my only bard.
 
people think im the one who is crazy
its not true im just not being lazy
I am doing what I think is right
so tomorrow I can see the light.
 
But I can't see it at the border of starvation
I only see the ugly side upon this nation
I do feel that I can have much more
to have a life one which I'll adore.
 
At school it was not so fun
I wish I'd Just stay in bed
if it became legal they would grab their guns
and put a bounty on my head
 
But if they think they can knock me out
I do not know what they think about
arms will reach they will reach real far
to never touch me upon the shiniest star
 
In the future I can see is in a suit and tie
as they send the pain away from all these lies
hopefully I'm not the one who is late
to be the one who does something great
 
Put my feet in this destiny
change myself for the IT
I just wish that someone could just help me
to help me reach the future I can only see
