We never had much as potato farmers in the poor man\u2019s village
\nBut luck, your sibling, gave us a token to turn Lady Fortune\u2019s wheel
\nWith assistance, we escaped poverty but landed in a dreadful world
\nThe middle class, where we all tread forward while you push back<\/p>\n
Pizzas, pies, and cakes are divided
\nSo that everyone may get a fair taste
\nBut maybe, I want you all for myself
\nSo that no comfort can get away<\/p>\n
Riches are an endless chase but I\u2019ve always been behind
\nYou favor some but your loyalty is to no being
\nIf opportunity is truly abound and for all, then why not me?
\nWhy aren\u2019t I the one sitting poolside in Malibu?<\/p>\n
I always have to justify my reasons for being so possessive
\nYou are a motivation, a beacon that guides my determination
\nI would give it all up, if I could only, experience you for a day
\nThen I would know the plight of a rich man and feel sorry too<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
