Generational Segregation

Generational poverty

They blind their eyes but they cannot mask the scent

Before you judge those who live amongst the filth

Pass judgment on yourself

Not a cent to their name

Unknowingly forced into a system formed against them, bleagh

Too burdened to dream

Unable to see ahead of what's been placed before them

We turn our noses and scoff

Forced to their knees they're not praying they're begging us

Picked from the streets, like ticks off a stray

We pull back the curtain

Welcome to the rotting city of gold

Where man is created more equal than man

The effects of the past have been

Ripped and buried from the books

And the blame has been placed on the victims oppressed

Who could have guessed?

The consequence of your actions are

Recompense

Slaves

Under the pretense of labor

Why would they ever feel guilt, it's all in the past

Move on, move on

Generational poverty

They blind their eyes but they can not mask the scent

Before you judge those who live amongst the filth

Pass judgment on yourself

Generational poverty

They blind their eyes but they can not mask the scent

Before you judge those who live amongst the filth

Pass judgment on yourself

Judgment, violence, hatred

Forced into violence

Murder, labour

This never ending cycle repeats

Judgment, violence, hatred

Substance addiction

Murder, labour

The only escape they have from reality

Why should we care for their well being

When the coin that we give goes right up their nose

Into their veins and under their tongues

Refusing to empathize?

Welcome to the rotting city of gold

Where man is created more equal than man

The effects of the past have been

Ripped and buried from the books

And the blame has been placed on the victims oppressed

Who could have guessed?

The consequence of your actions are

Death

How do you figure they cope?

A vice is just fine if not begged for

Give to the rich and steal from the poor

These victims are victims of old

Rotting city of gold

Where man is created more equal than man

The effects of the past have been

Ripped and buried from the books

And the blame has been placed on the victims oppressed

Who could have guessed?

The consequence of your actions are

Minus one

Born to be minused at birth and continue this cycle again and again

Through violence and murder we judge and forget that their

Minus one

A child disadvantaged at birth

And must carve out a path of murder or enslavement

What choice do they have
