A World of Numbers

Living in a world where all you are is a number 
They don’t care for another 
All you are is a number
They don’t care about your hunger
Coz all you are is a number
So your time is numbered

Work so hard to make your numbers then they strip ¼ before you see it
Living as a number is testing £165 every 2weeks how am I really going to live on that but 
I'm just another number.

Living in a endz where 3/5 have to do a little wrong to live respectable so 4/5 could be 
sentence to prison time

Live in a world where we cut off are 9s because we’re blind

Living in a world where 1 person wouldn’t divide 4/4 in to ¼ to help 2 people

Living in a world of numbers but like the lotto I’m going to pick my numbers then wait for 
god to bless me and call my numbers out.........
