Perseverance
Andrew Banuelos
Working families can't afford a meal
Always exhausted, hard labor is breaking backs
Prison release, facing social exclusion
Laying lifeless, smack burning the veins
The poor aren't stepping stools
You're claiming to help, but lying for profit
Fuck your personal interests
What about the obligation for the people
You don't know how to lead the way
Nothing done for those suffering each day
"We're free to speak", yet you give us no say
We the people are always to blame
Disorders caused from haunting trauma
Babies born without mothers and fathers
Innocent humans forced to roam the streets
But we still got that perseverance motherfucker
