Debt Trap Vol.1

DEBT MADE ME BITTER 
CREEPING BENEATH MY NOSTRIL LIKE LITTLE CRITTERS
DEBT HAVE ROB MY JOY AND DREAMS
DROWNING ME THROUGH AN UNREWARDING STREAMS
I HAD MADE A PLEDGE 
TO PAY OF THESE DEBT, 
BUT WHAT I DID WAS NOT WELL KEPT 
I HAD LATE FEE AND OVER THE LIMIT FEE
ALL THESE DEBT STING ME LIKE A BEE
I GOT CALL EVERY WHERE WITH HIGH INTEREST RATES
CAN'T BARELY PUT ONE GRAIN OF RICE ON MY PLASTIC PLATE 
DEBT HAD DIVIDE MY FAMILY 
DEVASTATING MY AUTHORITY 
DEBT CAUSE ME TO LIVE IN FEAR 
BARRICADE MY EYES WITH TEARS 
DEBT DOESN'T WANT YOU TO SAVE MONEY 
ONCE YOU ARE TRAP, BOY IT'S NOT FUNNY 
DEBT HAD TAKEN CONTROL OVER MY LIFE 
I THOUGHT THAT I WILL NEVER HAVE A WIFE 
DEBT HAS PUT ME DOWN DRASTICALLY 
BUT I TRUST GOD AND HAVE FAITH AND I AM ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY
