Shaking the jar of ants.

Put us in a maze.

They split us up into sections.

Lost in every direction.

Find a loophole or a way out.

Then they throw us in cages.

Tryna outdo each other, yet we got the same wages.

Take the same route home, despite the many faces.

Stuck in the same 10 block radius, despite the many races.

Tearing each other down in so many cases.

While we can all relate from different places.

Are we ever going to live long enough to see any changes?
