Your Inheritance

Spent a summer pretending to be poor

Tucked away your privilege and ate noodles from the dollar store

Thought it would be fun to do some crimes

Expired tags, oh no you’re caught, you weren’t equipped to do the time

But your daddy bailed you out of jail so you wouldn’t have to pay

Shook a couple hands to make it all just go away

Now you stand at your podium wrapped in self-righteousness

Screaming that you earned your inheritance

You say by the grace of God you turned it all around

 Pulled yourself up by your straps, picked yourself up off the ground

No one can tell you that you don’t know how it feels

You lived it for a week or two, the struggle is oh-so-real

But your daddy bailed you out of jail so you wouldn’t have to pay

Shook a couple hands to make it all just go away

 Now you stand at your podium wrapped in self-righteousness

Claiming that you earned your inheritance

But your daddy bailed you out of jail so you wouldn’t have to pay

Shook a couple hands to make it all just go away

Now you stand at your podium wrapped in self-righteousness

Screaming that you earned your inheritance
