Lyrics

The cost of living in the UK is rising and it's changing people's lives. At the moment I'm not putting my lights on in the evening once it gets dark. I go to bed very frightened. Bad things really are. I've got 20p to my name. I don't even know how my goodness will survive this winter coming. Often living growing up, gotta bring expenses down. Told me they don't give a what, look how we're living now. Sickening that I pay the bills, swear they coming back around. Kids are school without no meals, government still lacking now. Open up my fridge and I don't know what I'ma eat. Yeah plus I got three babies, I don't know how I'ma feed. I've been pulling on my legs to try and get back up on my feet. Man divided politics since I don't know how I was sleeping. I'm just waiting on my door, I'm trying not to make a peep. Don't wanna be ungrateful, know there's plenty on the street. But these benefits ain't benefiting me, no I can't see. I'm supposed to raise my family when they keep on cutting feet. All over praying couple days I pray I make it through the week. And them kids are going back to school, them shoes know they ain't cheap. And them kids ain't good fooling my baby, like try to bully me. I'ma cry till I make this peak, even if that means they're treating us like animals. You see up in the cage, they just want to increase inflation, they don't want to increase the waste. Ukraine and Russia beefing, what's that got to do with me? Now my bills are stopping off and what they expect me just to pay. Now the wind is coming close, you know I'm trying to keep that heat in. Put two hoodies on, cause you know I can't trust the heat in. The pressure keeps on creeping, I ain't got no time for healing. They giving us these leaders with no motion or no feeling. And these kids are going to school without no meals, now that ain't right. Then they learn to rob and steal cause they just trying to survive. Depression and the poverty is walking on the line. Mass upon a large squad, it's looking like the end of times. M-O-M, I'm trying to follow, but I'm only on the streets. Fianna came without a home, her life is getting big. My forgiver isn't up and there's no house for them to heed. No support that they can see, no community to reach. I've not had anything to eat. It's really hard. If we're struggling, how the hell are other people going to be? It's demoralizing, it's disheartening, cause I'm trying my best and there's only so much I can do.
