Brandon Jenkins - Livin Down On The Line lyrics

Poverty it's everywhere
Money rules in everything
They say it's just our cross to bear
For all the things that money brings
They're standing on the corners beggin'
And they're crowdin' in the welfare lines
We're all lookin' for something
When you're living down on the line
Survival here's a full-time job
Pit bull's runnin' off the chain
Better learn to kill and rob
Take some pills to kill the pain
They're fillin' up the prisons blatantly
Makin' money off of them doing time
Somebody's gotta lose son
When you're living down on the line
There's certain places you don't go
There's just some things that you don't do
You drive around these streets at night
You mess around, they'll get you too
They're callin' up the coroner
To the scene of the latest crime
You gotta learn to keep your head down boy
When you're living down on the line
