Broken Ladder

Yeah yeah
Climbing high but the steps keep breaking uh


Dreams in my hand but the world keeps taking yeah


Broken ladder where we going now 
Ain't no way up just the same old route let's go

Mama said Boy you gotta fight to shine fight
But the rent's past due and I'm running out of time


Corner store hustles pennies for my grind 
While they sit in towers sipping on their wine facts

They told me Work hard you can reach the sky lies
But the ladder's broke now I'm asking why


Every step's a struggle every chance denied 
While they stacking gold we just getting by

Invisible walls but they block my way 
Promises of hope that decay every day


I'm just trying to rise but the game don't play 
A king in my mind but a pawn in the pay

Broken ladder I can't climb no more climb no more
Rungs keep snapping falling to the floor to the floor
Dreams too heavy can't reach that door reach that door
Rich get richer what they need me for need me for
