Survive


A life full of a blinding rage that never goes away Everyone around you hungers for money, drugs, sex and power You hunger for knowledge, a key to success, and a heart of steel A heart to swallow the struggles and the tears Before you drown in your tragedies and failures How will I succeed when my generation only lives to serve the rich How will I move up if the man slaps me down How will we have world peace when we are all slaves How will we unite when we tear each other limb from limb Where is the American dream? Deep in trap of greed.
