Don't know why I'm pretending to be
Something I'm not, Something that's not me
Doors are closed there's no way through so I
Lie to myself and I lie to you
These dickheads can't even pretend to care
We're bottom of the food chain, just can't compare
To wealth that's generational
Oh yeah that's inspirational
That says it's fine for likes, It's fine for looks
But you'll be fined for life for having been brought up
In the wrong place, At the wrong time
They get to be frauds With all of the benefits
While we get left behind Eating gruel and grits
The poor will serve the sentence for the rich
How come if she wears it it's fashion
But if I wear it I just look like I'm crashing
It's a spoonful of sugar on the sly for you
'Cos white ties always trump work boots
That says it's fine for likes, It's fine for looks
But you'll be fined for life for having been brought up
In the wrong place, At the wrong time
They get to be frauds With all of the benefits
While we get left behind Eating gruel and grits
The poor will serve the sentence for the rich
They Can't hear it
Don't want to hear it
Stay in our place but
It's not our fault just the
Way of the world and
Can't drown it out now
That says it's fine for likes, It's fine for looks
But you'll be fined for life for having been brought up
In the wrong place, At the wrong time
They get to be frauds With all of the benefits
While we get left behind Eating gruel and grits
The poor will serve the sentence for the rich
That says it's fine for likes, It's fine for looks
But you'll be fined for life for having been brought up
In the wrong place, At the wrong time
They get to be frauds With all of the benefits
While we get left behind Eating gruel and grits
The poor will serve the sentence for the rich
