Everybody
Gotta Live™

RJ Knox

“Everybody Gotta Live” is a dark East Coast street narrative about the institutional gaps that can swallow working-class, poor, and middle-class people after a single lost paycheck, denied claim, medical crisis, or authority decision. RJ Knox turns personal survival into public witness, tracing the distance between institutional choices and the human beings forced to absorb their consequences. The song introduces the Knox Commission as a public accountability forum where records, testimony, authority, obligation, and repair are placed in the same room. Its governing principle is direct: no revenge, no predetermined villains, and no hiding behind titles. Trace the decision, confront the consequence, establish responsibility, and repair what was broken. Everybody gotta live.
