A Pot of Crabs

In many ways, Are We like a pot of crabs With Us, Always, reaching up for grabs Like We intend to keep Each other down As with Slavery, in Our predicament-bound Which is why, Everytime, We rise to the top Are We distracted by the sound of a POP! Indicating, how DRAMA, is at it's boiling point And, that SOMEBODY's about to leave this joint Cause that's Our way of maintaining EQUALITY Even if it means, We're All Living In Misery
