Worker's Rights (feat. T.O.)

This song features T.O. aka Kalki whose lyrics are in green

To make the world better is the biggest thing to believe in
it's the meaning of life and this is what gives life meaning
not living life for this mission is living life for no reason
get rich? I'd die fighting for all life to be even
All life is born equal but the forms of evil some are subjected to
is abject and rude - some kids are destitute (poor) and 
work a 6-10 (shift) and at the end of the workday they pay them 60 cents
Yo we know our phones and technology is made by slaves in sweatshops
where they not getting paid properly - that's why we only buy what we
need - do you wanna stop sweatshops or do you believe in greed?
you need your 9 to 5 - some barely live to survive - you like your Nikes
but there's kids that died so you could wear them with pride why not fight 
for their rights? you'd be scared of your job if you had their life and strife

HOOK
Sweatshops is where workers - they hardly getting paid
Sweatshops is where workers getting treated like they slaves
Sweatshops where workers work crazy hours day and night
Workers not paid right - why not fight for worker's rights?

Why should we buy things we don't need? it kills trees and
likely made by slaves working in Chinese sweatshops that's
overseas and these things we buy we say "bye" by throwing
them in the trash and we think they leave but they stay in
landfills filling the land ya can't breathe and the smell is so bad
when ya pass 'em - the anthem of this country could be consumption
and waste - land of inequality the place we buy junk and rat race
that cash chase is disgusting - repulsive - empathy is wiped out
it's corrosive - atrocious - what I wanna know is - do you wanna
get rich or do right? what your road is? so I wrote this so you
could focus - 'cause most of what we're told in life is bogus
our clothes is from sweatshops - stop shopping - a smart option's
to start plotting to revolutionize - the solution is unionize
on top of it is this - the big bosses getting rich - what they did is
make sure their workers not paid enough to live - so look up
union made clothes and go support those - to oppose and close
to sweatshops we say no! Truth and T.O. foes of greed see we show

The worth of life is priceless - if you worked a day and night shift
you might get it - if you had to fight for your life every second and
your family was starving and living in society's margins - yet you 
couldn't even afford to feed them and couldn't afford the clothes 
you make because of the greed of your patrons - those that hate this
cause we opened your eyes and you'd rather live in open denial
wake up to the smoke and the fire - society is burning down 
while you slowly admire fascinated by the flames - half the patrons
in this game are corrupted and diseased - ruptured at the seams 
like the cheap clothes they make - teach those mistaken - quote them
and speak facts - me and Truth'll both keep rapping 'till the whole 
globe is reacting - all over the atlas - be proactive - it starts with
you - so spark a revolution

Worker's Rights! Worker's Rights! Worker's Rights! Worker's Rights!
End Sweatshops! End Sweatshops! End Sweatshops! End Sweatshops!
