lyrics

Red Pill's Lyrics:
Verse
While these motherfuckers pop bottles, I'm taking pop bottles
back up to the store so I can get some top ramen
What the fuck they know about that rock bottom?
Everyone I know is feeling downtrodden, everyone I know has thought about robbing
And I'm not talking about a stick up
I'm talking lifting up that drawer before that afternoon pick up
Shattering that tax bracket you sick of
On some get up, get out and get something shit, come on...
The mind wanders when you're poverty stricken
And only hope you're holding onto is a lottery ticket
Bills piling up, don't see you smiling much
Start thinking of some violent stuff
Like why the fuck don't I just get a pint of rum,
a nine and tuck it in between my teeth and say goodbye, I'm done
Economy is down and suicides are up
We'd rather die by a gun than let this world be the death of us

Verse 3
This world'll fuck you and expect you just to smile through it
Waking up is a reminder, thinking why do it?
They wonder why these motherfuckers snap
One minute a family man until he's walking in that plant
and he's thinking, "Where the fucks my overtime?"
Last resorts become solutions to a sober mind
An empty bottle, list of fucking demands
Like "Hey Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand?"

Chorus
So what the fuck are we supposed to do? What the fuck are we supposed to do?
Don't even have a rope to hold onto, so what the fuck are we supposed to do?
No way out for us to make that move, so what the fuck are supposed to do?
What the fuck are we supposed to do? Tell me, what are we supposed to do?
