ASSET IN PLACE
For a week’s sin weak sing praise to a God
Paying to be saying, “Forgive me lord”
Yet truth they know ‘cause they mouth at the end
To every lord, god or mighty they say are men
Why pursue those pseudo Pzeus’ tho supposedly overhead?
There’s no fly Jesus pending back from the dead
Only 5G suspending so "Wake up!" It has to be said
I don't care what you believe or what you're fed
Once global brothers to an infallible trust we all had belong
Until a thief's fee saw us apart with new words, new tongue
Couldn't understand us so used fear to takeover
Scarred bodies and minds because of xenophobia
Had to follow cold worlds followed by hot tong
Yet it's not only those on cotton fields treated wrong
We're all in the same field but many haven't cottoned on
Your money is now master whilst your job's the bond
Three strikes for disobedience or lashed at your post
Whip cream of the crop into shape, promise them most
They always whips cream off the top, so typical
They crop the lot, stock and bar all…
from getting a fair share, holders of you
So the pool’s divvy then is tabled to miss queue
An ass set to stay in place with no forward move
Made to budge it at rates your boss approve
Some are too old to care, some too young to mind
In the middle's given up to their jobs they’ve resigned
Just another indent churned out to be among the worked forced
Never being human doing when being human being resourced
