 new J's
cell phone
hot wheels
spinners
why not
you slave

and labor
you get paid
 have to have them
 really want them
so does the the others
who will kill their own brother
the mothers, heart attackers
for now let's just call them jackers
why is it so hard to have nice things
you work hard for good change
then someone who's too
lazy to work, punches your card
with no regard for human life
on the next 48, with no regret
if you're not doing it, chances are
it's getting done to you
it's guaranteed and full proof
100% inevitable
so what are you going to do
stop spending your hard earned
cash on nice things
are risk it all, to have it all
standing on the bus stop
in a parking lot of a strip mall
at the intersection
in a bad section of town
at home, head tucked 
on a pillow 
sound asleep
nothing can wake you
not even a,  creep
