Painful Memory

Its going down again From the rage in my mind to the sound system From the streets to the concrete war Where I spent a little time down there but what for 'cause I got beat down again The same old shit keeps happening Another hero on stage A loser at the bar Where the money in your pocket don't go to far In this world of financial success I got lost along the way I guess Money hungry motherfucker in brand new cars Talking on cell phones to reach for the stars When I'm gone you know I won't be coming back To this place I ain't got what it takes There's nothing left for me no piece of mind no sanity Just painful memory that I don't need inside of me All of what's yours will be gone in time The illusion of progress in this life Unfinished products nowhere to go Just standing around in the cold The systems backed up nothings' comin through A little more leverage for me to use Because I never gave a damn about that shit I just keep on getting on with it And I may be the last in line But I'm still lookin out for what's mine In this world of confusion and despair I'm looking out for me --- Painful Memory - Jaya the Cat
