I've Been Cursed

Location

I've been cursed with curse to just curse

and dispense all this tension within these sentences.

To try and relieve what's been eating at me

so I can rest peacefully (peacefully).

Yet, these new orders, rules and conformists

try to tell me who I should be (be) !

When really they're the one's benefiting with their pensionships

selling the American Dream that "You can be all you can be but for a fee!"

So I compete in the race of greed, of those who are in need.

When I need an education to be all that I can.

Damn *pause* what a dream to be all that I can be...

Let these curtains fall!

I said let these curtains fall!

Momma always told me stand tall

So you may see me struggle, but you'll never see me fall!

So let these curtains fall!

I don't know you, and no

I don't owe you a thing!

To tell me that education is the key

when success is anything less but attainable.

When the debt is to the point when you just don't give a fuck,

when you just don't put up with the bullshit they pull.

So let these curtains fall!

You may see me struggle, but you'll never see me fall.

Man, let these curtains fall.

*curtain falls, exit stage right*
