[Intro]
Yeah…
Cold world. Cold hearts.
Ain’t funny when the hunger got a face.
[Verse 1]
Walk past me like I died but my heartbeat loud,
Treat the sidewalk like a cage, say I don’t belong in town.
Call the law ‘cause I’m existing, that’s a crime somehow,
Like the only thing I’m guilty of is being broke right now.
They’ll trash my blanket, steal my sleep, kick my cart for laughs,
Then post it online hoping everybody double taps.
Say, “Get a job,” but they don’t see what got erased,
Birth certificate gone, no ID, no place.
They’ll run me from the bridge, from the bench, from the shade,
Every place I find peace got another blockade.
Funny how the rich sleep easy while they rob the poor,
Take the little that we got, then they come back for more.
Ain’t looking for a handout, I’m just asking, let me breathe…
But they treat a homeless soul like a disease.
[Hook]
What if it switched?
What if we did what y’all do?
Knocking on your front door, hoping you lose it all too.
Bet that smile disappear, bet that laugh don’t last.
Funny how justice change when it’s aimed at your glass.
[Verse 2]
Imagine every week somebody scheming on your lease,
Calling up your landlord saying, “Throw ‘em in the streets.”
Imagine every paycheck disappear from one lie,
Sheriff at your doorstep while your babies askin’, “Why?”
Imagine watching strangers toss your whole life in a pile,
Wedding rings, baby shoes, every memory file.
Neighbors standing outside recording your collapse,
Talking ‘bout, “That’s karma,” while they sharing every laugh.
Now your bed is concrete, now your roof is the sky,
Now the same folks judging never look you in the eye.
See… I don’t want revenge, I just want you to know,
How it feels when the world keeps saying, “Go.”
‘Cause every house can crumble, every check can bounce,
Every king can fall when the blessings run out.
Today it’s me surviving. Tomorrow it could be you.
So quit making hell harder for people already walking through.
[Outro]
You ain’t measured by the money or the square feet you own.
You’re measured by how you treat people when they’re fighting alone.
Remember… every address is temporary.
Character ain’t.
