It takes the claws of one greedy man
To steal the opportunity of others
And block the door to which he passed.
That door could have been a lifesaver
For those who had no better place to go,
Our lives are harder all because of you.
Because of your selfish narcissistic decision
Of taking more than you’ve bargained for,
Others have to pay the price for your mistake.
We’re on trial being evaluated by other people
Trying to present the best defensive argument
Hoping that door will make an exception and open.
It takes one person to screw with the system
And all of a sudden, it’s society’s fault,
For the saying “we’re one for all and all for one”,
It’s our job to raise a more conscious person.
We didn’t know you, we didn’t teach you
But we’re responsible because you represent us.
Because you thought you’d get away with it,
You got your dirty fingers stuck in the jar
Contaminating all that had some life inside
And restricting all that used to be free to us.
You didn’t think of the battle we’d fight for
Now, we’re proving our innocence due to you.
