inequality blvd dave johnson
daquan was just 12 yrs old
feeling hungry, feeling’ bold
took the biscuits off the shelf
stuffed them in his pants
not a penny to his name
and then the wrong arm of the law
took him to a cell and a cold steel door
well his mother was doing time
for a disturbance and unpaid fine
she was all alone
no partner and no home
two children and a broken heart
how was she to ever make things fit
one day her mind just hit that switch
down on inequality blvd
the doors are always open
old school tie connections
of privilege and direction
real estate portfolios
the poor ~ fall through the cracks
some have plenty while others have none
a will to work and to get thing s done
but when all is stacked against you
and the telco disconnects you
and you got nowhere else to turn
and your pensions put on hold
for an appointment you never know’d
he was made a ward of the state
for his mother it was just to late
but a mother’s love is true
she did all that she could do
bide the time and dot the line
without a frame how can you ever weave
a simple life that you can perceive
down on inequality blvd
talkin next vacation
stock market fluctuation
watchin sky television
feelin justified
with tax evasion
