HOW DO YOU SLEEP? Lyrics

Aint it bad you got, I mean, can you imagine somebody having $32 million

$32, $32 million

And this person has nothing

And you can sleep

You can still go to the movies

I mean, these are the type of people that get humanitarian awards

Millionaires

Applied for like 300 jobs without a callback

I went to college, don't make enough to pay it all back

I resent the fact my life revolves around a piece of paper

Don't know a soul who isn't tired of being exploited for labor

Go out in public, it's like everyone's on autopilot

So connected we're disconnected, I hear the sound of silence

Then I hear complaints about the kids, but they took parents out the house

Cause it takes two incomes to live

This generation isn't lazy, we work 40 hours like older ones

Difference is they had some hope to buy a home and stack money up

We spinning in a circle, going check to check

The markets just a made ip word to justify the raise in rent

I guess Pac was right

They got money for the war, but can't afford to feed the poor

If billionaires were taxed the same, maybe it'd even out the score

They want us to pay our bills and die

I'm praying that there's more, I hope there's more

I feel like a lost cause, like a lost cause

If I keep treading water, then I'll get up out this slump

Uncle Sam's the toxic member of the family that you cut off

There used to be a time where you could work your butt off

and get closer to the goal

But nowadays the harder work just puts you further in the hole

No one's asking for it easy, I think some things should be tough

But right now it feels like an orgy, everybody's getting fucked

The people making laws are way too old and out of touch

But they just clinging to their power, using titles as a crutch

I think there's ways that we can change

And if you're hitting record profits, your employees earned a raise

Your CEO is making millions off the backs of some who can't afford to eat

And you off somewhere on a beach

I don't know how you sleep, the blood and sweat of someone scraping for they rent

And you make in an hour more than they see in a check

Yet you never leave your desk, and you claim that you religious

But the Bible says that greedy is a sin

I feel like a lost cause, I feel like a lost cause

If I keep treading water, then I'll get up out this slump

And I don't know how you sleep at night, knowing there's children hungry

I don't know how you sleep at night, no remorse you're not sorry

And I don't know how you sleep at night, knowing there's children hungry

I don't know how you sleep at night, no remorse you're not sorry

No more poor no buildings, you know what I'm saying, let's build houses for em

Or no more polo games, let's build houses for poor people

You know what I'm saying

Or, look, okay, I know you rich, I know you got 40 billion dollars

But can you just keep it to one house

You only need one house

And if you only got two kids, can't you just keep it to two rooms

I mean, why have 52 rooms if you know there's somebody with no room

It just don't make sense to me
