#BreakingNews

This has been reality for decades for most of here in Canada.

We spend our whole lives working
2-3 jobs just to cover our expenses
We work until we are dead
Servin’ our Canadian life sentences

No hope of parole
Just more government control
They increase our taxes
Decimate us faster

Our ancestors fought
Politicians changed the plot
Now our rights and freedoms are naught
Can’t express our own thoughts
But we can’t all be bought
We fight with all we got

Learned from my ancestors; long time dead
Grandfather worked til he couldn’t get outta bed
Tried to keep going but the cancer had spread
Provided for his family as best he could
Worked hard and ensured he stayed true to his word

Unlike most of you political pundits
Whose endless lies spill forth from your lips
Your words are empty; it’s all a skit
You pretend to care; but you don’t give a shit
Toss us aside like we’re nuthin’ but garbage

Our blood you spill so you can build
Your houses of halls
Our prison walls
This government maze
A web of red tape
Creating delays
So tired of their plays
Don’t care what they say
I’m Christopher Walk-in this way
And I’ll keep talkin’ this way
Cause I refuse to obey
The rules of their game
They all fuckin’ insane
So I livin’ up to my name
Gonna sing through this pain
Share the memories I retain
Of those who were slain
Their legacies remain
No sacrifices in vain
Ya feel what I’m sayin?
Good.

Now y’a better start praying
Cause I ain’t playin
I’m armed to the teeth with my pencil crayons
Writing and drawing and creating my art
A human like you, but we’re a world apart
And I don’t like what I’m seein’
Y’all devising and scheming
For selfish reasons
But Imma human being!

And I still have a dream
Though I don’t have the means
To make a living, it seems
No place for me
On the corporate tree
They say they a family
But it’s all about greed
They just want us to bleed
