Qwelity (Our Life)

lyrics

"To get by...just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by
We commute to computers
Spirits stay mute while you eagles spread rumours
We survivalists, turned to consumers
To get by...just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by..."

Yo, I heard it's said the revolution won't be televised
The revolution's here
No one can lead you off your path
In these times
We beginning to learn what it means just to get by
Some of us already strive in our daily lives
But some of y'all don't know how to enjoy your time
Take a minute to realize the blessings
You've been given in this time
We still slaves to religion and cathartic reasons
Make us slaves to the commerce of the percentage
We pay back in taxes
You think staying home is taxing
Think about the after math
When a dolla won\t be a dolla maybe five percent higher
Than the rent you trying to pay the bills
Writing wills
Like yo my life my life my life
What does it take for nations to wake
The unbalanced system of time and place
Some too comfortable to care about the 99
So we all commute to our computers
Eagles still spreading rumours
But we survivalists
With spirits unmuted
Online for a moment in time
To unite how tech was intended
Good vibes
Getting tired of the nonsense in politics
We just all trying to stay alive.
