Why 'oh why, do I even bother to try?
Endless night I gave just to make it by.
Time after time I fought all these tears.
Just for Sam to steal away all my years.
.
Illusionary help meant to break you down.
Indentured dept your only hopeful ground.
They make empty promised with no bound.
Ravage souls as your rights make no sound.
.
Why 'oh why, do I even bother to try?
Endless days I worked so hard I would cry.
Broken friendships just to keep my home.
Failed infrastructure broke me to the bone.
.
Illusionary help meant to break you down,
Fema reps lie more than your old hound.
Recordings and paper trails mean little more.
When uncle Sam comes beating at your door.
.
Why 'oh why, do I even bother to try?
Force me to dept and leave me to die,
No trust in the government yet they wonder why..
Taxation without representation their only high.
.
Time after time I fight back these tears..
Poverty promoted broken debt filled fears...
I thought I was finally turning the table.
Just for uncle Sam to remind me of my label.
.
Why 'oh why, do I even bother to try?
In a world where I am meant to die.
Born to a broken family in a broken land.
Where success is only found only in dept plan.
.
Give me liberty or give me death...
When I got nothing but dept left...
Do I take up my broken arm?
Sound this nations silent alarm?
.
I die this day for my land,
Wielding not but a broken plan.
I just want to live; Gave all I could give
Yet uncle Sam wants the land where I live.
I shan't surrender what I worked for so long.
I must stand my ground strong!
Sam will hear what I say!
I cant fall this day!
.
Why 'oh why, Do I even bother to try?
Because I cant just lay down and die!
