D. Ciano - The Rent is Too Damn High (prod. by Daniel Coleman)
(Verse 1)
Steady Heated, but somehow he staying cool
I swear He couldn't get a break if he was playing pool
This Game of Life, wasn't really made to lose
He can't remember the last time he ate some food
Cant afford breakfast, his pockets anorexic
yet He's still having Ghetto Dreams of a Lexus
He said, I'm Tired of pretending that Ima be fine
Knowing he's living so far below the poverty line
Constant income, thinking somehow he'll make a way
But the cash flow, His Bills seem to take away
2 Jobs and He's looking for another one
Hustling on the side to bring in some other funds
Contemplating being Homeless, ouldn't Condone it
80 hours a week, so Really work is were his home is
When it comes to late payments, his landlord is a Connoisseur
So the Rent came a Day late and a Dollar Short
.......... and you know why
(Verse 2)
He's only 10 years old, single parent home
See's his mother as a queen, even though she's always gone
Pops a rolling stone, and his face was never shown
Couldn't miss a stranger, so he heired as King to the Throne
Headphones on, and even though he never new Pops
It made him feel Big everytime he listened to Pac
Fully understanding How much life was crazy,
and thanking god that he wasn't Brenda's Baby
Grabbed the money he was saving, from underneath the floor
Walked to the landlords house, and knocked on the door
He told him Look, I know our payments are kinda backed
But we all we got, so could you cut her some kinda slack
The Landlord admitted, that your mom should be evicted
and when you're older you'll understand, Survival of the fittest
Pushed the boy out the way, he got no time to play with kids
He said its nothing personal, Thats just the way it is
I recently watched a New York Governor Debate, and I found Jimmy McMillan and his Party, The Rent Is Too Damn High Party quite amusing.. I decided to make a song about it.. A Very serious matter but funny as well. I don't live in New York so I'm not really big on who's running for Governor, but I see it more as Reality Television.. So check it out and leave me some feedback..
