The Closing Doors (Interlude)

The train is moving along, I think about it every day
A lot of people doubt it every day
Thinking that it’ll be derailed by justice even if we don’t obstruct it
Just so long as we discuss it, that’s a dangerous assumption
For real
The motorman was placed there by our enemies
He’s driving out of pace to inflate all our discrepancies
And hoping that the pain is potent
'Cause when you fight a homie next to you
You both forget to ask where the train’s going
They aim to privatise, feed us with the giant lies
Make me believe that you alone the reason I’m deprived
Designer lines and sign which the game is played
While they line the sides
Watching us scrimmage as we fall for all the gimmicks
And cops still killing kids 'cause of what colour that their skin is
And if they make it past bookings then they funnelled into prisons
So they can catalyse billions
See, the train work in systems
And when you add 'em up it feel like you can’t make a difference
After all, you ain’t driving, is you?
The motorman got the wheels, couple conductors
But the people, they all riding with you
And they got their own stops, ain’t troubled with yours
You can’t stop the train alone you just get stuck in the doors
The information’s abundant but the facts somewhere out
There on the tracks
Near the third rail, you’ll learn there about wealth and all the gaps
About oil companies more powerful than any president
'Bout weapons manufacturers cashing in on where death is spent
'Bout how we’re taught to use and use
But not to love, consume, buy lots of drugs and technology
Lock us up, in our own minds
Paradigms are redefined and bear in mind that
Who you are is beautiful
And you don’t need to wear disguises, but no
The train’s moving, there’s no time for the truth
But I refuse, I won’t abandon the proof
Tries they made to gerrymander the youth
And hope that they fail when I shoot
With any bystander whose tooth begged for my hand in its roots
But I won’t fall for it, 'cause it’s freedom over punchlines
The greatest lie’s that there ain’t no power in just one mind
If you would now begin to look outside the walls
We’re confined by
We can stop the train together, the endeavour is ours
The environment is set but see the weather is ours
But the cleverest bars couldn’t get you the charge
This just an outlet
I can’t move you, shit I gotta move me
I be dammed if I’m more than a man, you could’ve fooled me
But the same things I thought were making me weak are the same things that are
making me speak
I understand that I matter, but I’m finally starting
To get that I matter
And that we’s the only matter more important than me
