Lyrics Best Things in Life are Free Interlude - NoBreadE

They say some the best things in life are free
Don't get me wrong I want to believe
But in reality everything comes with a price tag
See we pay with our bodies souls and minds
Simply because we cannot pay from our pockets
But rather with time
So as the butterflies escape the caverns of the working wallet
Along follow hopes and dreams
See our minds have been synthesized to believe that there is
An American Dream
But look around
There is only one percent
So yeah I wanna stunt
But I have to pay off school loans
And they give me six months to atone
But soon that time will elapse
And I'll be damned if I collapse under the debt
And I know I'm young so I've never seen what they asked for
But neither has my mother
So what do they mean when they ask for fifty thousand a year
When my queen has only ever seen thirty
Facts like that will make a man turn back into a boy
I become disgruntled when my momma said put back those dreams
We can't afford to that toy
And now I feel bad for my mom
Because she had to extinguish her baby boy's joy

See the hard worker doesn't always
Come home to a big house and a meal
And all they can remember is their home country
And what played on the movie reel
They pay to see the limelight that
Shone on the stage of America
This was supposed to be the place to be
You work hard and it pays off
But those I now see were lies
When all of my people are being laid off
And this generation scams because
We've seen that Bernie Madoff
Was the only one who didn't make off
So excuse me while I don't believe
That my dreams were meant to take off
And that's the double edge sword of it all
It's the trouble deciding whether to rise or to fall
We fear taking control of your own fate
I say if you fall eight times you better get up nine
Cause if I'm fine and you're fine
Who takes the opportunity to shine
I beg you to see this message as a sign
But I leave it to you to decide
Do you break through the glass ceiling
That this world managed to create
Or do you avoid the cuts and scrapes
And live your whole life playing it safe
