12 hour days mandatory overtime
all my time i spend it working
no time for family
no time for friends
working for profit that ill never see
racist city leaders mock with their jokes
nothing to hope for
im fucking miserable
if i stop working i will not survive

Illusions of success

illusions of success
presented to the rich
the olympics, the world cup
new stadiums, more budgets
they hire more cops, rent goes up
and enact laws, we get pushed out
for the rich and the tourists
they hire more cops, rent goes up
and enact laws, we get pushed out
for the rich against the homeless
we are dangerous they need to be scared of us
white and rich people have kicked me out of my home
we are dangerous they need to be scared to come here
our poverty is a crime

No resources

move to america
with the promise of a better life
language barriers no resources
I'm illegal i don't deserve this life
my job employs me because
they pay me less than anyone
they know they're exploiting me they call it a success
my job employs me because they pay me less than anyone
they know they're exploiting me they know i have no choice

I cant afford it

i grew up in this city, this is my home
soon i will not be able to live here
i can't afford it
the day we can be employed without paying away half of what we produce
the day when the machines necessary to harvest our food are at the free disposal of the cultivator
the day we produce for the community and not the monopolist
that day we will se the workers clothed and fed
and there will be no billionaires or exploiters
there will be well being for all
gentrification will wipe our people out
colonized our spaces and look down on us
treat us like criminals, stereotype our people
we are not the problem, we are not to blame
i grew up in this city, this is my home
but i can't afford it
