| I’m trying to find out what’s wrong you know
|
| It all started so long ago
|
| But it’s not a big mystery
|
| It’s really just retracing history
|
| Only gotta go back a century
|
| Thug life ain’t the only life meant for me
|
| Blacks and cops, being sworn enemies
|
| I guess it’s just all in our energy
|
| And falling into it was meant to be
|
| But that’s because we accepted it
|
| And we never rejected it
|
| And we’re overwhelming evidence
|
| The plan is sadistic in nature
|
| Drowning in hatred, no way to mistake it
|
| No way to escape it
|
| Just face it
|
| Some cats is in jail cause they innocent
|
| Some cats is in jail cause they idiots
|
| And got caught up in dumb ass predicaments
|
| Or just trapped in the system but
|
| The system is horsepower now
|
| It’s like one-thousand pistons
|
| One thousand prisons
|
| Based on how young brothers make bad decisions
|
| Shits like a cataclysm
|
| When I voted this ain’t what I envisioned
|
| Who I voted for really shouldn’t let this shit go on
|
| Almost out of fuel, feel like I can’t roll on
|
| I need something else to hold on
|
| Tell them young playas out there
|
| Don’t get caught slippin baby, just hold on
|
| Yeah, just hold on
|
| How much time will you give away
|
| These bars are turning into scars in my mind
|
| Trapped by a nation whose aim is incarceration of a people
|
| My people, my people |
