Social Status

Lyrics: TAKF Music: TAKF Arranger: TAKF “Social status… is a measurement of one’s position in the hierarchy of society.” “It is often determined by income, education, occupation” “And your ability to purchase… things.” “Higher status grants influence, recognition… and perceived success.” “Failure to obtain status may result in… social invisibility.” In front of death, nothing lasts forever Nice cars don’t make you better But sometimes they do provide a little pleasure Plotting on the low, want more cash flow One more **** won’t change the fact that world is ill Every body watching numbers, they walk like zombie Eyes on the money, social reality Then you hustle for a whole week just to buy some **** Now all I wanna do is sit back, Inhale deep I’m from a place where the rent eats half your soul Couple dollars every hour but they taxin’ the whole “Hard work used to pays” now it’s the sharpest that fold Deceiving as a convict kept my soul over gold Truth be told, I still living under basement Fumbled a couple of placement, thought I could face off system I’m off for independence mind relentless raised ice cold Life is Hella struggle I can’t find a grip that I hold Social status, a fatal habit they keepin’ in place Everything they grabbin’ from hell just to feed ’em a taste They fiendin’ to chase, what they see on the face But they soul living ghost, sinking deep in the waste Social status, a fatal habit they keepin’ in place Everything they grabbin’ from hell just to feed ’em a taste They fiendin’ to chase, what they see on the face But they soul living ghost, sinking deep in the waste College graduates thought they prevail but caught up in debt Modern society trap, they don’t teach you enough well Cap and gown for the wealth, and a broken mindset Side hustles all night, just to cover the rent Meanwhile, the system got infiltrated real Refugees stayed warm while the rest miss meals I watch the parties shut mouths dirty work they never tell Then they bill us twice, just for election deals The rich find doors opened the doors for poor to find stress Middle stucked in between like a rat in the lab Freedom on paper, I smoke the gold leaf But every breath feel leased like designer tees with hidden fees I don’t need the preach, I keep my tank on E My **** ain’t phoney like the flex you see on IG Reality reflects what your mindset brings The world is just canvas for your inner things Social status, a fatal habit they keepin’ in place Everything they grabbin’ from hell just to feed ’em a taste They fiendin’ to chase, what they see on the face But they soul living ghost, sinking deep in the waste Social status, a fatal habit they keepin’ in place Everything they grabbin’ from hell just to feed ’em a taste They fiendin’ to chase, what they see on the face But they soul living ghost, sinking deep in the waste You don’t see the world by your eyes, you see through them lens Truth blends into the mist vanishing from the history Misery built by the trauma, sculpted by pain We still walk naked in storm, but somehow maintained You think that you alive but your spirit is on mute Drownin’ in different **** window shopping fine designer suits The world getting vague trap you in 01 base We just some random actors really thought that we could leave the stage Social status, a fatal habit they keepin’ in place Everything they grabbin’ from hell just to feed ’em a taste They fiendin’ to chase, what they see on the face But they soul living ghost, sinking deep in the waste Social status, a fatal habit they keepin’ in place Everything they grabbin’ from hell just to feed ’em a taste They fiendin’ to chase, what they see on the face But they soul living ghost, sinking deep in the waste
