Just finished this, no gods, politicians, feelings or robots were harmed in the making of this song!

The caste system in S.E. Asia places each individual on a kind of societal ladder, rich and religious at the top, you can imagine the bottom. Any relationships between upper and lower is strictly forbidden by families! Every member of the family would be affected by the shame for generations.

[verse 1]

He said I'd thank him one day,

for what he's doin' now.

We're never gonna be a thing,

it would be better, that he go.

[verse 2]

Said, I'm hangin' on for somethin',

I know, I'm never gonna see.

There's no happy-ever-afters,

between the likes, of him an' me.

[chorus]

The dice were thrown, I lost,

born, the bottom of the caste.

There's no escapin', my fate,

my future, is my past.

[verse 3]

His family, would never allow it,

my caste was far too low.

The shame, would be too much,

somethin', that I should know.

[chorus]

The dice were thrown, I lost,

born, the bottom of the caste.

There's no escapin', my fate,

my future, is my past.

[verse 4]

Told me not to, speak of this,

our lives, may depend on it.

We together, didn't happen,

not a word to anyone, quiet.

[chorus]

The dice were thrown, I lost,

born, the bottom of the caste.

There's no escapin', my fate,

my future, is my past.

[bridge]

I didn't tell him, I was pregnant,

turns out, as a father he's a loser.

He, would make me get rid,

hope for better, from my kid.

[final chorus]

The dice were thrown, I lost,

born, the bottom of the caste.

There's no escapin', my fate,

my future, is my past.

[outro]

My son, didn't let me down.

a billionaire, not yet thirty.

A palace, an' his own plane,

only I know, from where he came.
