about

Inspired by Quesadillas, by Juan Pablo Villalobos.

lyrics

My father is clever but stubborn
So he never gives in
We had a chance to escape
This shit we live in
Can’t tell if we are poor
Or simply growing
This line’s so fine we dine on
Whatever’s going
My family think I’m a liar
Reality burns like the fire
Listen you wont hear the silence
The rich they get to eat
As much as they like
No idea that I take because it’s a fight
For survival in this box of nonsense
Noticed for the wrong and not the right
My family think I’m a liar
Reality burns like the fire
Listen you wont hear the silence
Confusion it feels like losing
It leads to bruising
Losing to the rich is just confusing
Impossible to be free in your choices
Suffocates the mind hearing these voices
Listen you won’t hear the silence
