Phone is dead
Gas is almost gone
Fridge is nearly empty
Money is never enough
Feeling pretty rough
Wanna get out of my mind
Sick and tired of life's grind
Thought we'd have more
Can't buy from the store
Bills as high as a skyscraper
Brain, nothing, but vapor
So, sit in a stupor
Feeling so-not-super
Embarrassed and ashamed
Mind goes crazy, untamed
Thought it would be different
Always feeling ignorant
Maybe, a second job will do
Stresses continue to accrue
Seems like adults aren't that adult
Life's experience and jacking jilt
On what stuff is my hope built
Must have a foundation
Some level, or station
Don't want to stay at zero percent

Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers by Kendrick Lamar | Album Review
It's been years now since the drop of award winning album, DAMN. We've gotten a taste here and there with teasing singles and features with Baby Keem, but a new album is finally here - Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, a double album filled with x and y, topping off what has been one of the most incredible discographies of the modern era. The intimacy of family is front and center, with glimpses of religion, gun violence, and struggle hiding within plain sight - a Compton paramount. Kendrick, a modern rap king, has solidified his place atop the throne with this release.
