Written by Julian Primeaux

lyrics

Your parents wealth buys fame,
Your just some wretch with a name,
And when the time is right,
For you to walk alone at night,
Make sure your bags are zipped up tight,
Watch out now, you'll catch your fright.

You say we must behave,
Shackle us to be your slaves,
And we're the broken ones,
Who burn our backs in the mid-day sun,
We weren't born to have some fun,
Soldier on until the work is done.

I've been kicked in the teeth,
Been spittin' blood on a low-rent street,
I been raisin' up alotta Cain,
If Heaven don't get me it'll be Hell's gain.

I'm the simple kind,
Steady one with a steady mind,
And money's what you lust,
Teach your children that it's just,
To have and hold from the rest of us,
To take our homes till we go bust.

After the smoke it clears,
We'll still be standing here,
And you try as you'd might,
You'd buy the sun and tax the light,
Keep us down till your satisfied,
Nothing left but to rise and fight.

I've been kicked in the teeth,
Been spittin' blood on a low-rent street,
I been raisin' up alotta Cain,
If Heaven don't get me it'll be Hell's gain.
And I've been kicked in the teeth,
Been spittin' blood on a low-rent street,
I been raisin' up alotta Cain,
If Heaven don't get me it'll be Hell's gain.
