Lyrics
[Kanine]
Poverty a place where the problems never end/
Gun shots heard sirens they vocally ascend/
Cops finding the black race to only reprehend/
I right a letter to God saying i bless and please send/
If heaven was a mile away/
I'd move all my shit and be there the same fucking day/
I wanna fly away/
Let me take this moment to close my eyes and pray/
Lord Please take me today....
Im lost between the depths where regent and moss starts/
My fam grew up in regent and i grew up in moss park/
These streets of poverty is all im use to knowing/
My daddy left me at three, and i relieve my stress but concious flowing/
I can't give up but i gots to keep it going/
Commiting suicide it isn't the point/
And you can't escape the world's problems by lighting a joint/
For the people trying to stay alive/
My motto's never give up, always strive/
Cause the weak suffer the strong survive/
To many people propagandin'/
Three keys to life, knowledge wisdom understandin'/
Never Give Up Always Strive....
Never Give Up Always Strive....
Never Give Up Always Strive....
Cause thats the only way we got to survive
[Kanine]x2
P-O-V-E-R-T-Y/
Povery the place where the violence always resides/
People filled with bullshit and lies/
Just keep ya head up look up the skies/
And Listen to the word of the wise/
[Traphfik]
Yo livin' on the streets they took my home apart/
Can't handle life anymore man it's just to hard/
Got no money or food and just had a healthscare/
Now life is shit cause im livin' on welfare/
People looking down man they wanna disect me/
Wanna go to a place where this doesn't affect me/
Family not fed, friend's bodies get red/
Seems like theres a permanent rainclound over my head/
Wanna go to a place where i got clothes clean and gleaming/
Wanna go to a place where money has no meaning/
Bitches pop ya dome, and they robbin' ya home/
Government, cut ya phone and now you left alone/
Someone tell me what i gotta do to make things better/
Now im gettin eroded away by life's stormy weather/
All i can do man is look up to the skies/
As im stuck here in P-O-V-E-R-T-Y/
[Kanine]x2
P-O-V-E-R-T-Y/
Povery the place where the violence always resides/
People filled with bullshit and lies/
Just keep ya head up look up the skies/
And Listen to the word of the wise/
[Absolute]
P-O-V-E-R-T-Y I/
Just can't live this life i been assigned/
Why? do i live like this/
Tell me Why is my life like this/
Mind right Mic and grip i love life despite this shit/
But no one knows what kinda life i live/
On a spiral trip fueled with nitrogen/
Everything breaking down everything seems so dead/
No money to feed myself government messing with my head/
Running from the feds/
Should be caring for my family instead/
I can't say im dying but i might as well be/
Living life so stealthy Streets can be so deadly/
But no this life ain't bother me/
Cause there ain't no stoppin me/
Which i rather be/
These funds are attackin my family/
But its just life under poverty/
P-O-V-E-R-T-Y I/
Just can't live.....
