They playin’ games with our lives, I can’t sleep at night,

Politicians talkin’ lies under neon lights.

Paper in their pocket, we just fight to survive,

I see the pain in my city but they call it “alright.”

I been drowning in the chaos,

Tryna find a way out,

Leaders point fingers, but they never hear us shout.

Future feelin’ distant, hope gettin’ blurry,

All they chase is power, never justice, always money.

Dreams get sold on the TV screen,

Vote one time, then they ghost the scene.

Tell us “change comin’,” but it’s all routine,

Same cycle spinnin’ since I was thirteen.

They playin’ games with our lives, I can’t sleep at night,

Politicians talkin’ lies under neon lights.

Paper in their pocket, we just fight to survive,

I see the pain in my city but they call it “alright.”

I been runnin’ with my headphones on,

Tryna numb the truth with another sad song.

Every promise made just feel so wrong,

Tell me how we heal when the hurt so strong.

We the youth, but they mute our voice,

We ain’t blind, we just lackin’ choice.

System rigged up like a loaded dice,

Tryna gamble with my future, but it don’t feel nice.

Pour another shot, let the liquor burn slow,

World too heavy, but I can’t let go.

If they won’t change, then the people gotta rise,

But the fight in my chest sometimes just dies.

They playin’ games with our lives, I can’t sleep at night,

Politicians talkin’ lies under neon lights.

Paper in their pocket, we just fight to survive,

I see the pain in my city but they call it “alright.”
