| They swear niggas win when they sin the most
|
| Temporarily be the toast
|
| Guns and butter on what matters the least, watch them overdose
|
| Let them hang, nigga, hang by their gold ropes
|
| Smoke dope until you’re comatose, no hope
|
| For that butter, niggas die broke, third eye woke
|
| Poke holes in the American dream, run out of options
|
| Made it easy, you can hustle and scheme but one problem
|
| They’re building private prisons just to house niggas
|
| For cheap labor, that’s why, nigga
|
| They call it PIC, it’s not a club, but you’re VIP
|
| Series of numbers that replace your ID
|
| Home of the cowardly, freedom ain’t free
|
| The revolution won’t be shown on TV
|
| We’re too busy watching fake reality, you see
|
| What goes up comes down
|
| Dog chase tail, go 'round and 'round
|
| We all hypnotized when we hear the sounds
|
| Ever seen a clown with a smile that was upside down
|
| You see it
|
| They swear we going to the promise land (right)
|
| They swear they better than the better man (right)
|
| We need to get our shit together man (right)
|
| Probably listening like, whatever man
|
| They swear niggas be killing when they’re just killing
|
| Waking up every morning, hollow, no feeling
|
| You hear the rap, money stack, how it touch the ceiling
|
| Got to tell my nephews, they really have a ceiling
|
| That’s to be honest, you ain’t getting everything that’s promised
|
| 40 acres and a mule, right, work so they can take
|
| Cost of living tax 'til your back break
|
| No grass, but you’re still missing the snakes, til they slither on you
|
| Who tired of looking at the middle man
|
| The one on top, so he devised a plan
|
| And who too busy thinking promised land
|
| Then realize the real lies pinpoint the scam
|
| Shooting the messenger, that’s only part of our conditioning
|
| They keep trying to tell us but we’re not listening
|
| You want to hide it, put it in a book
|
| They want to hide it, put it on a corner, watch it cook, you see it
|
| What goes up comes down
|
| Dog chase tail, go 'round and 'round
|
| We all hypnotized when we hear the sounds
|
| Ever seen a clown with a smile that was upside down
|
| You see it
|
| They swear we going to the promise land (right)
|
| They swear they better than the better man (right)
|
| We need to get our shit together man (right)
|
| Probably listening like, whatever man |
