letra de begging for change - marcel cartier
[verse 1]
you see that old man begging for change
you think at one point he thought that this was his fate?
you think he had no other dreams but this?
if he did his dreams took a monumental twist
he’s living more like a nightmare, how could this be?
ordained by the lord above his suffering
now i’m sensible anyway. it’s not like we can’t figure out how to feed every woman and man
not to mention the kids, where their childhood gone?
growing up stomach growling their shoes are gone
tat of cloths only one shirt and coat to share
between a sister and brother see that;s common despair
seen it with my own eyes
whether south bx, south east dc wonder who’s up next
so many other families had check to check, the thought of eviction is a common threat
[chorus]
you think i had no other dreams but this?
you think i really wanna be homeless?
if you ask me it’s all really strange
i ended up here begging for change
you think i had no other dreams but this?
you think i really wanna be homeless?
if you ask me it’s all really strange
i ended up here begging for change
[verse 2]
smirnoff vodka, jameson whisky
ten in the morning and i’m h-lla tipsy
that coors light is the breakfast of champs
would rather have them bears man f-ck those food stamps man
i really don’t care about sh-t
may not believe that i was an exemplary kid
but this world too cold, i just can’t win
it’s like i turned all my rage from outside to in
stop believing in myself, believing in them
certainly believing in god because cuz talk is thin
positivity is cheap, doesn’t know where i live
in fact neither do i because i switch up cribs
sometimes it’s a park bench but if it’s too cold
try to maybe find a shelter my toes are frozen
my heart’s wide open
pain has chosen, my soul as a vehicle no time left for hoping
[chorus]
you think i had no other dreams but this?
you think i really wanna be homeless?
if you ask me it’s all really strange
i ended up here begging for change
you think i had no other dreams but this?
you think i really wanna be homeless?
if you ask me it’s all really strange
i ended up here begging for change
[verse 3]
have you ever seen a family getting foreclosed on?
once comfortable but now their home is gone
see the furniture in boxes out on the lawn
and the bank says you got two weeks to move on
little boy three and his sister is six
about to find out what it means to be homeless
like one million other american children
this can’t be the world that for them we’re building
their mother and father used to both have work
never thought that a layoff could lead to worse
this zero rationality, pure insanity
and many blame themselves for being casualties
of a bank scheme only concerned with profit
human suffering the result of their logic
look at the millions of foreclosures
in just a few years see that trend ain’t slowing
[chorus]
you think i had no other dreams but this?
you think i really wanna be homeless?
if you ask me it’s all really strange
i ended up here begging for change
you think i had no other dreams but this?
you think i really wanna be homeless?
if you ask me it’s all really strange
i ended up here begging for change
