"Still Struggling in the South"
(Verse 1)
Yo, North Carolina, where the pain still lingers,
Communities in rubble, reaching out with broken fingers.
Hurricanes came through, left scars on the land,
But the aid was too slow, they don’t understand.
Years gone by, but the struggle’s still real,
Folks rebuilding lives, fighting just to heal.
Trailers as homes, but the rent's sky-high,
While the rich sit pretty, watching neighbors die.
Factories shut down, jobs shipped out,
Ain’t no prosperity, just fear and doubt.
The system failed ‘em, left ‘em in the rain,
North Carolina cries, but who feels the pain?
(Chorus)
They still suffering, fighting through the storm,
Trying to stay strong, but the hope is worn.
North Carolina, we hear your call,
You ain't alone; we gon' rise through it all.
(Verse 2)
Farms underwater, crops turned to waste,
Hardworking folks left with nothin' to taste.
The government promised, but where's the relief?
Broken dreams piled up, just adding to the grief.
From Raleigh to Charlotte, small towns too,
Communities struggling, trying to push through.
Kids need shoes, food banks running dry,
Politicians profit while the people scrape by.
Church bells ring, but the pews stay bare,
Faith tested daily, does anyone care?
Generations deep in a cycle of despair,
North Carolina’s pain hangs heavy in the air.
(Chorus)
They still suffering, fighting through the storm,
Trying to stay strong, but the hope is worn.
North Carolina, we hear your call,
You ain't alone; we gon' rise through it all.
(Bridge)
But the spirit’s unbroken, they ain’t giving in,
Even in the darkness,
