Mind Notes Pt.70 'Good People'

Good people
We're all good people
See a lot of evil
But I still love my people
Good people
Caught in a mouse trap
Trying to do the right thing
Trying to bring the love back

These the golden years

But we ain't always seeing it

But still wake up everyday

And try believe in it

I met a old man today

We talked talked politics

And he was talking more sense

Than the government

He told me life's hard

But he still gives thanks

And he's got no two pennies

Nothing in the bank

So it's one day at a time

That's the motto

But I plan for tomorrow

So don't tell me about yolo

Sometimes the struggle

Make's you want to say what the...

Because you could get proper stuck

Tripping over dumb luck

Wrong place

Wrong time

Life's up

Tuff luck

Tick tock

Time's up

Never seems to be enough

Tipping point

Tightrope

Death is always close

Nothing's promised in life

We've got to make the most

Not trying to see my ghost

For monarchs on some coloured paper

I'm trying to burst
The glass ceiling

Elevator

Sometime's the daily grind

Can make you doubt your principles

It's all a numbers game

Nobodies invincible

They never see how far you fall

Nobodies looking down

We lost all our villages

They burnt our houses to the ground

Now the pound

Is the saviour or killer

The Jekyll or the Hyde

The looser or the winner

The something or the nothing

That you're having

For you're dinner

The wishing it would happen

Or the sitting pretty victor

Give me a moment

I need to transcend

Dreaming of different times

When poverty could truly end

The camel's back could truly bend

And we could break bread

We could live as equals

Honour all our dead

Shift gears in my head

Now I'm back again

I see my dreams

Are a long way from happening

But I'm still rapping

And I see it's real simple

We must keep faith

In the love of good people

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!
