This was a song I wanted to finish, but never got the chance to. So I decided to upload the first verse and chorus for my friends to hear, cus they kept asking about it. Recording is unedited, so vocals might sound yucky.

you go through the daily grind just to help you survive
and everyday youre pulling through cus youre just ready to shine
youre looking for that motivation to push you to move on
understanding the recession is now at its worse form
youre always hearing on the news of people losing their jobs
when hundreds are soon to be homeless, victims with salaries robbed
imagine the struggle to hold a job, just to pay your bills
not knowing when it could end, now can you tell me how it feels
when youre on the verge of losing your home
youre all alone, family depending on you as if youre all they know
and yet theres people in the world who could simply care less
willing to risk it all to fit in, popularity versus success
the world is such a mess, thousands prayin for a miracle
a war against money within every individual
rejected when you put your education to use
but when that opportunity comes, theres no reason to refuse

cus your time will come, fate will let you know when to shine
the struggles that youre going through are worth a future so sublime
the gossip and rumors soon converted to fame
whether to walk into an office or have a title next to you name
economy is to blame, but theres nothing left to do
besides to solve it with the will to go for what your life pursues
and in the end, you can end the day with a smile on your face
to know youve gone from rags to riches
let them know that youve existed
