tpk - Homeless & Disabled lyrics
[Intro] Yup... I'm just a homeless person on the streets Yeah Ever since Dale Oaks, I lost my home I just roam around the streets With my clothes, my bag, my belongings All that stuff [Verse 1] Don't mind me, I just live on the streets Even though I lost a leg, I never miss a beat I got bipolar so I'm always freaking out Lack social sk**s so I don't know what I speak and shout I got the last check just approximately last month And I spent it on food and clothes that got burned up I tried very hard to get one single job But everybody saw me as just a pathetic slob The government don't want me no more I have to beg for money because I'm poor But everybody tells me to stop being a bum So they give me nothing and that ain't no fun What do you expect, for me to collapse Become a corpse which people will just pa** Because I'm homeless "and" disabled Sometimes I wish I could just turn the tables [Chorus] I'm just homeless; and disabled A person of society, who has failed Not because of me, but because of society That benefits the rich, and fancy I'm just homeless; and disabled A person of society, who has failed Not because of me, but because of society That benefits the rich, and fancy [Verse 2] I know of all the government programs that exist But when I try to get help, the policies always persist They put in me in a waiting list that last for tons of years And when the time comes, they tell me I have no place here They don't give me the sk**s that I need to survive They don't give me anything I need to provide No cash, no housing, no job of any sort Not even an opportunity for me to retort The news reports said that there's a lot of homeless problems But nobody really does anything to solve all of them The answer is simple, it's right in your face But you don't notice it because you've got cash to forsake The government claims to be in the best interest of the people Well how can they be when their policies are medieval Equal opportunity are two words that don't matter Because they don't serve you opportunities on a platter [Chorus] I'm just homeless; and disabled A person of society, who has failed Not because of me, but because of society That benefits the rich, and fancy I'm just homeless; and disabled A person of society, who has failed Not because of me, but because of society That benefits the rich, and fancy [Verse 3] Lot of people struggling to keep their houses That's the reason why we invented couches So we can sit down, relax and watch TV But what happens when you don't have anything When you don't have no house, nobody by your side Don't have no respect, people pa** you by You become invisible like my home girl Flora And with no income you keep on getting poorer Eventually you'll end up like African kids Skinny, weak, defenseless and with skids Don't ignore the National Geographic Because they take focal issues like this and map it I tell my story so you don't go through this So don't live your life expecting to be forever rich Homeless and Disabled is what you'll be If you don't have modest expectations and dreams
