COST OF LIVING Lyrics by Khāled Siddīq

IAMKHXLED (Deluxe Demons)

2024

[Intro]
Cost of living, cost of living, ooh-ooh
Cost of living, cost of living, cost of living, ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
Cost of living going up
Gotta bring expenses down
Tory they don’t give a what
Look at how we living now
Second that I pay the bills
Swear they coming back around
Kids at school without no meals
Government still lacking now
Open up my fridge and I don’t know what I’ma eat
Plus I got three babies I don’t know how I’ma feed
I been pulling on my laces try get back up on my feet
Man if I was these politicians I dunno how I would sleep (No)
Got these bailiffs at my door, I’m trying not to make a peep
Don’t wanna be ungrateful, know there’s plenty on the street
But these benefits ain’t benefitting me, no I can’t see
How I’m supposed to raise my family
When they keep on cutting P’s
One loaf of bread, couple tins, I pray I make it through the week
And them kids are going back to school, them shoes nah they ain’t cheap
And them kids they ain’t gon’ bully my baby like how they bullied me
I’ma grind to make this P even if that means the T
Cos’ they treating us like animals you see up in the cage
They just wanna ‘crease inflation they don’t wanna ‘crease the wage
Ukraine and Russia beefing what’s that gotta do with me?
Now my bills are doubling up and what? They expect me just to pay?
Now the winter’s coming close you know I’m tryna keep that heat in
Put two hoodies on cos’ you know I can’t touch the heating
The pressure keeps on creeping, I ain’t got no time for healing
They giving us these leaders with no emotion or no feeling (Oh-oh-oh)
And these kids are going school without no meals, that ain’t right
Then they learn to rob and steal cos’ they just trying to survive
Depression and the poverty, it’s walking on a line
Man subhanallah, it’s wild, it’s looking like the end of times
And my home I’m tryna find but I’m out here on the streets
300K without a home wallahi it’s getting peak
Man forget ‘bout using ovens there’s no house for them to heat
No support for them to seek
No community to reach (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
And that’s the cost of living
That’s the cost of living, oh-oh
