Fighting To Breathe
Kicking punching and biting
I am so tired of fighting
Survival is not enough
Life is not just being tough
Freedom is one of happiness keys
Living a life without dependencies
Depending on pensions to come through
With big brothers thumb on top of you
Pressing depressing and holding you down
Keeping you from reaching your crown
Others with claws of financial razors
Want your blood for them to savor
Be indebted to no one or human thing
Don't let them bow you and call themselves your king
Depend on God and the strength He gives you
Be content with what you have and what you do
The grass is not greener it is all just plastic and paint
Stay strong and from temptation keep stiff restraint
Or you will be cornered just as I am
And fighting to breathe in someone elses hand
