His little hands hold plastic bags Napkin sacks for sale His height is small And around him is only the money mind It's all he knows, it's where he goes day to day A handout is an opportunity He takes it back home His father gathers from what he sold Its all he knows, a coin is life Ahh- his hair is grabbed His mother beat, he takes a stand He meets defeat He's not a man He's nothing, until he can get them something to eat A lecture on what he'll never be Mmm... She's pulled by culture Mirrored before her Bring honor for this torture She knows she's less than others Her place in bloodline, no other name defined Her identity is not recognized without it And as her father and family sell her to a bidder She tells herself its just hope to pay for their dinner She's young enough to not know she's not a sinner An indoctrination of her that shouldn't matter But its all she knows A coin is life And as the wealthiest of countries have their bounties They raise tall glasses, they laugh in the audience Their flight was VIP, the room and board is pennies to them But the poverished only want a taste of what they have Corruption wealth bleeds poverty What will you do for a bite to eat? What will they sell to have shoes on their feet? Who will they impress to get off the street? Any filth available they'll pay for it all And those with less will always dance And when they refuse they're tested on why they did A life on a humiliation coin isn't a way to live She doesn't want to sell her children but the military broke in With guns to her face they say "we can make this all go away" A contract for breeding and labor work And just like that, it's all they're worth Dressing slavery in bounty for the humanitarian Find a hungry child, steal them away Create a document that marks them as property They'll never question the life they've had made Corruption wealth bleeds poverty What will you do for a bite to eat? What will they sell to have shoes on their feet? Who will they impress to get off the street? Any filth available they'll pay for it all And those with less will always dance And when they refuse they're tested on why they did A life on a humiliation coin isn't a way to live Media and marketing Television screens Brands and private flights Conferences and meetings Planning slavery of all human beings Who are below them This is how ramcoa business knows them Corruption wealth battles over bleeding poverty (Blamed for what they'd never have) They say What will you do for a bite to eat? What will they sell to have shoes on their feet? Who will they impress to get off the street? Any filth available they'll pay for it all And those with less will always dance for them And when they refuse they're tested on why they did A life on their humiliation coin isn't a way to live The only way to end this, is educating your children
