CONCRETE UNCLE - Business Of Poverty (feat. Matt Orion)

This is the business of poverty
You'll always be in pain
You've become a commodity
Your life is someone else's gain
You try to get off benefits
They're keeping you on minimum pay
You pull yourself up by your boot straps
But they want your shoes the next day

This is the business of poverty
You'll get a few crumbs more
Someone's profits dependent on
You always being poor

The monthly rent for your hovel
Is more than your take home pay
The landlords getting his mortgages paid
From your benefit claim
You'll get a foot on the ladder
But you'll never get out of debt
You'll be reliant on charity
They'll never let you forget

This is the business of poverty
You never get what you need
They don't want no solidarity
They want you on your knees

This is the business of poverty
You'll never get to choose
This is the business of poverty
Its why you always lose
This is the business of poverty
Equality of despair
You wanna get off your knees
They wanna keep you there
If your a minority
They'll be offended for you
When your suffering feeds their greed
Its the least that they can do
This is the business of poverty
You'll never be free
This is the business of poverty
So come on and bleed for me
