Trapped in the System

Look, check this For some of us, luxury is too big of a luxury to have Don’t blame me though, blame the system that broke me Uh, yeah They put a label on us, call us names But they’re the ones who really need to take the blame I’m just saying we’re trapped in the system All I’m saying is we’re trapped in the system They put a label on us, call us names But they’re the ones who really need to take the blame I’m just saying we’re trapped in the system All I’m saying is we’re trapped in the system Where I come from we don’t tote guns, but they make it seem like we’re all cons Make it look like we’re all dumb, but we’re Chiefs and Kings, we’re Shoguns Ready for war, go get what is yours, that nigga caught with the mash on the estate Could have been a successful entrepreneur, but the provocateur Got him ten-toesing, now he’s left open, swimming through all this red ocean Product of my environment, luxury of no entitlement Fisherman on a foreign soil and all I did was let the pirates in Get out of my sight, tell me what you know about rights They couldn’t even let me say goodbye when they took me from my wife Payback is a slag, but I wonder where she at And violence only gets nicked when it walks around in black Mother grieving for the fate of her youngest son Who knew he’d be caught up in the streets like his older bruv And he’s just thinking he’s looking out for his family Cause Papa walked away since he was six and lost his sanity So don’t you wonder why a rebel don’t take instructions from a pharisee They put a label on us, call us names But they’re the ones who really need to take the blame I’m just saying we’re trapped in the system All I’m saying is we’re trapped in the system They put a label on us, call us names But they’re the ones who really need to take the blame I’m just saying we’re trapped in the system All I’m saying is we’re trapped in the system I wear my heart on my sleeves, live according to the jungle rules But y’all don’t know nobody wins when the jungle rules Cause if you knew, you’d be working on your jungle moves And not get down in the grime based on jungle rules When the mandem step in the place, everybody go berserk When you come off on these roads, you know exactly where to put in work We’re invincible, we’re originals, but they make it look like we’re cursed Got my demons just like you got yours, don’t paint me terribly worse On the backs of my people you built your kingdom Then oppress and suppress, robbed us of our vision And fed our descendants lies, told them it’s panini Locked the truth away as if it never existed Wait for the moment when you stand ‘fore the gates and then get judged too Now’s not the moment when you find someone to threaten with a lawsuit You could never beat the odds like I do, cause it’s rarely a matter of IQ The system got us tripping, fight till we’re bleeding, blood in my vision like a Piru They put a label on us, call us names But they’re the ones who really need to take the blame I’m just saying we’re trapped in the system All I’m saying is we’re trapped in the system They put a label on us, call us names But they’re the ones who really need to take the blame I’m just saying we’re trapped in the system All I’m saying is we’re trapped in the system
