"desperation" in Song Lyrics
See how artists use "desperation" in their lyrics:
Which means, we built this city
And never got scraps while the devil got fat
In fact, reparation for niggas in desperation
Fuck money, get my kid a real education
Blood money spills, had a real revelation
We invite you to, somethin' epic y'all know? (Somethin', somethin')
Well, we hustle out of a sense of, hopelessness
Sort of a desperation (Live nigga)
Through that desperation, we 'come addicted
Sorta like the fiends we accustomed to servin'
Livin' in a world where snitchin' calls for celebration (yeah)
Livin' in a world where niggas crawl and segregation
Rainy nights and desperation
Pray we fight the legislation
Protest until we flatline, paralyzed (uh)
