Sun Rise Above - Every Day (I Wake Up) Lyrics
Feeling like a fly stuck to fly paperOr a stressed office worker jumping off top of a sky scraperI'll take you, deep in the groundTo where my step pop is found in a mine digging coal all the timePerhaps one to make it out without getting black lungI hope from my heart, already know where the rap's fromTrapped in a modern day manslaughter, it's realAsbestos in the lungs is what killed my grandfatherI couldn't of ran further, fleeing the factoryConstantly looking in back of me, wondering why it had to beBattling the power since grade schoolDeploring unjust authority, conformity, momma didn't raise a foolSay what you like, call me fringe left or lazyBut if you think I'll be a slave, you must be *****ing crazyMaybe we'll be free or maybe I just wish thisBut I'd rather fight and lose than ever settle for this shitEvery day I wake up on the wrong side of capitalismPoverty, feeling like I'm trapped in a prisonThat's why I'm attacking the system, trying to find a way outLay out a path to liberation at lastEvery day I wake up on the wrong side of capitalismPoverty, feeling like I'm trapped in a prisonThat's why I'm attacking the system, trying to find a way outLay out a path to liberation at lastAnother day, another dollar, makes me wanna hollaRing around the blue collar, white collar, pink collarThink all of us are in the same ship slowly sinkingDrinking water poison nectar ought to see a doctorGot a lot of pent up anger, for the strap hangerTraffic on the highway, thank god it's FridayAnother five days, unless you're working on the weekendSeeking something better, brothers, sisters, gotta come togetherUnder weather hurricane, storm pouring murderingUmbrellas snap, impact flood mud cellarsOne tell us something, other tell us something whole differentNo difference, with politicians, ***** the whole systemNo overtime, no job, rents unpaidBills late, laid off, depression doesn't feel greatStill state cut back the services and murder usForeclosures mailed out while banks are getting bailed outEvery day I wake up on the wrong side of capitalismPoverty, feeling like I'm trapped in a prisonThat's why I'm attacking the system, trying to find a way outLay out a path to liberation at lastEvery day I wake up on the wrong side of capitalismPoverty, feeling like I'm trapped in a prisonThat's why I'm attacking the system, trying to find a way outLay out a path to liberation at last
