my prospective.

william walker 1985 (michigan)



I dont rap to be a rapper
The fame doesn't matter
Money aint a factor
I'd rather bring laughter
And keep all of my masters
Cause whats a story without all of its chapters?
I'll be the first to admit I dont have all of the answers
But life's a gamble like the lottery
So many living in poverty
Even if their Christian
And pray to our fatherly
Someone somewhere is going to say they aint living properly
On the contrary of what they believe
So how are we supposed to succeed
If the whole world's in disbelief
And this cycles on repeat
It can't be a wash
If its man vs machine
But the governments answer is money to covid relief
When so many are dying from this disease
Too many on unemployment
So we log on to indeed
But many companies are having their employees leave
So our homes are our only retreat
Cause when we go out we need a mask and six feet
The news is useless  when all they care about is what president trump
Had to say in his tweets
And how many times he's been impeached
And oh how he's spreading lies on the election the evidence aint concrete
But what did we think this was America the land of the free
Where is we're supposed to have freedom of speech.
