Struggle

I get a sense of it everywhere
I see it, I feel it, I hear it, I smell it,
I taste it
Its been like my best friend
but my worst enemy at the same time
It confines me to the bottom of the barrel
It works me to death only to get scraps
It stays on my ass
Its always on my back
I can't get away from it
It won't leave me alone
Its been with me since I was born
And still with me now that I'm grown
Its enrooted in my bones
Its engrained in my blood
It bothers me
It bugs me
It doesn't kiss or hug me
It never tries to love me
It keeps my mind
American dreamin'
For a piece of pie
That I ain't seein'
