Brought up in the other side of the world
Where sophistication is a new type
Luxurious is a foreigner
And dreams, an old wives tales.
Class and Prestige, are Diamonds and Rubies,
On the neck of the Elite.
Grew with a disability
But what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Does the color of money hold more sway than the color of the skin
"Learn to fight for yourself",
They told him
Each man for himself,
God for us all.
