about

My debut single. The song is about the struggles I face living in poverty as a trans women.

lyrics

You're potential is drowning in your overdraft
DWP and you're sinking fast
You're sanity slides as your balance unwinds

Poverty is a Prison
Poverty is a Prison

It takes from you.
Turns your whole world blue
You forget who you are
Everyday a new scar

Poverty is a Prison
Poverty is a Prison
Poverty is a Prison
Poverty is a Prison

Poverty is a Prison
Poverty is a Prison
Poverty is a Prison
