Promise Land |
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 |
