Kind Faces (Prod. pis.i)

Are you numb to the pain 
Of people who have been slain, 
For the profit and the gain 
Of people with private planes 

This world seem so insane… 
Act like it’s a game 
To seek fortune and fame 

Most are concerned with survival
Yeah we wanna thrive 
But providing ain’t quite optional

Got a couple boxes to check 
Before I spend a check 
My earnings was taxed to death 

Maybe I’ll go sell a liver
The thought of needing that 
Makes wifey lower lip quiverr

Send some shivers up my spine
My best years spent 
Collecting nickels and dimes 

Everybody wanna chime in 
thoughts ain’t interrupted 
when I’m rhymin 

This pen my last friend 
got nothing to spend 
On pleasing all them 

This pen last friend 
got nothing to spend 

Disenfranchised fuck 
Close to giving up 
Yeah this world corrupt 
Morally bankrupt 

Hemingway said we must take it 
The measure of a man 
Is pushing through all the anguish 

I’m tempted by each escape 
But now the burden wore
On willingness to relate 

It ain’t difficult to create 
Im penning down my truths 
But my well-being is at stake 

What do I got to earn? 
It’s just lessons learned
While I’m waiting for my turn

I’m still yearning for what’s better 
Penning down my thoughts 
While withstanding rough ass weatherrr

This pen my last friend 
Got nothing to spend 
On pleasing all of them 

This pen my last friend 
I got nothing to spend 
I got nothing to spend

Got Nothin' To Spend (Prod. Raymond Jermaine)
