They Already Got theirs (v2)

Prompt

[INTRO — SPOKEN / LOW, GRITTY] Yeah... Funny how they tell us to hold on when they already got everything they need. Bills keep coming... people keep struggling... and somehow we're supposed to smile. [HOOK — MELODIC RAP / SOULFUL] We keep working just to barely get by, They keep taking while they tell us to try, Same old promises, different disguise, Everybody wants a piece... They already got theirs. They already got theirs, While we're fighting through the years, They don't hear our cries, They don't see our tears, Everybody wants a piece... They already got theirs. [VERSE 1 — SLOW, GRITTY RAP] Clock rings six, gotta get out the bed, Another long day running numbers in my head, Rent went up, food went up, gas at the pump, Work all week and the money still jumps. Mama counting pennies at the kitchen table, Daddy saying, “We'll be alright if we're able,” Kids need shoes, school needs fees, Everybody's working but nobody's free. They tell us, “Be patient, your time gonna come,” But patience don't pay when the money gets gone, We keep pushing, keep walking that line, While somebody upstairs keeps collecting our dime. They shake our hands when they need our vote, Make big promises, then they disappear like smoke, Meanwhile their pockets get deeper each year, And we're supposed to celebrate while we're drowning in fear. [PRE-CHORUS — BUILDING] How long can a person keep carrying the weight? How long can we struggle while they tell us to wait? We're not asking for diamonds, We're asking for a chance... To work, to live, To finally advance. [HOOK — BIGGER / SOULFUL HARMONIES] We keep working just to barely get by, They keep taking while they tell us to try, Same old promises, different disguise, Everybody wants a piece... They already got theirs. They already got theirs, While we're fighting through the years, They don't hear our cries, They don't see our tears, Everybody wants a piece... They already got theirs. [VERSE 2 — MORE INTENSE / RHYMING] They got gates, we got bills, They got deals, we got pills, They got lawyers, we got fines, They got loopholes, we got lines. Standing in the grocery aisle doing math, Put it back on the shelf 'cause the money don't last, Tell me how it's freedom when you're trapped by the price? When surviving every month feels like rolling the dice? I ain't looking for somebody to save me, I'm just asking why the system keeps breaking me, Why the ones at the top never feel the squeeze, While the ones at the bottom gotta beg for relief? Everybody's got a story they don't wanna tell, Everybody's fighting something underneath the shell, But we're still here, still standing somehow, And if nobody hears us... They gonna hear us now. [BRIDGE — STRIPPED DOWN / SOUL VOCAL] Maybe we're tired... Maybe we're worn... Maybe we've been carrying this too long. But there's still a fire inside these hearts... And you can't buy that. You can't own that. [FINAL HOOK — FULL BEAT / CHOIR] We keep working just to barely get by, They keep taking
