Ghetto Matrix |
| The city was cold |
| Replete with these sheets of old ways |
| And stained tenements that were built for bold slaves |
| Days collapse, street’s name, perhaps |
| Were traps, you could see it in the concrete cracks |
| The lost hope is smoked |
| The skies would devise for slowpokes |
| Dreamers who seem to touch zenith |
| Their arms couldn’t reach without touching the breach |
| A blunder, so the summers woulda summoned police |
| The heat reached through crevices |
| To verify the visage of the nemesis |
| No blemishes to find on this intricate design |
| And odd no-brainer, the container was the mind |
| The poverty stricken victims |
| Produced the paint for the portrait |
| So humble, yet the struggle was sold and went corporate |
| It hit the world stage and got celebrated |
| This odd mix of love and hatred |
| The ghetto matrix |
| It’s on you, it’s your mind |
| It’s a complex plan that keeps us confined |
| It’s on you, it’s your mind |
| It’s a complex plan that keeps us confined |
| It’s on you, it’s your mind |
| It’s a complex plan that keeps us confined |
| It’s on you, it’s your mind |
| It’s a complex plan that keeps us confined |
| The mantra of the mission: |
| Make money off the missing |
| The streets were the rhythm |
| When the six rounds hit 'em |
| The shells danced in the moonlight of sunshine |
| The blues, you could view them on the news at nine |
| The vines grow over headstones and then homes |
| Composed to give prose to the anguish and moans |
| The worries of the world can’t stop the cash crop |
| The blood drop signifies a rise in the stock |
| The matrix that enslaves us stops to seemingly balk |
| But can’t deny the fact that the act has gone pop |
| Nonstop, the plot thickens with his and her children |
| Echoes of the plight, like to have the youth listen |
| Is it ghetto? |
| Is it urban? |
| Are you certain? |
| Are you a servant here to keep the sales surgin'? |
| All in all, it seems that no one can escape it |
| This odd mix of love and hatred |
| The ghetto matrix |
| It’s on you, it’s your mind |
| It’s a complex plan that keeps us confined |
| It’s on you, it’s your mind |
| It’s a complex plan that keeps us confined |
| It’s on you, it’s your mind |
| It’s a complex plan that keeps us confined |
| It’s on you, it’s your mind |
| It’s a complex plan that keeps us confined |
