Stick it to the Man
His alcohol is to easy to buy
 His thirteen years play no role
 The people at his apartment complex
 Don’t respect the broken life of another kid.
 His cigarettes have no consequences
 His crack has no bad highs
 The people that raised him
 Aren’t worthy of being his parents. 
 
 He’s always concerned 
 With his sticking it to the Man
 Not realizing
 While the Man is stuck
 The Monster claims it’s next victim. 
 He’s always worrying 
 About his not getting caught
 Not realizing
 While he avoids the cops,
 He’s getting roped in on all sides. 
 
 It matters to me
 Like it matters to no one else
 That he get out ok
 Because while I haven’t lived his world,
 I know damn well what it’s like to be addicted. 
 I know that he’s an angel,
 I’ve seen his good side,
 And seen him play with the devil. 
 
 He’s always concerned 
 With his sticking it to the Man
 Not realizing
 While the Man is stuck
 The Monster claims it’s next victim. 
 He’s always worrying 
 About his not getting caught
 Not realizing
 While he avoids the cops,
 He’s getting roped in on all sides. 
 
 Doesn’t mean to him what it means to me,
 I’ve nearly lost hope for his future
 But I will keep carrying on
 Looking out for my Etrill.
