Countin grams Greener than these dollars Ponderin if it really solve all of my problems Havin things It'll get me follows But when it comes down to it I still be feelin hollow How can I get rich And still maintain my soul Losin all these friendships Tryna get the gold This shit feel never ending When will I have enough Shit's gettin expensive N I still be sad as f*ck Focused on ascension Still not knowin who I am Got all this potential I'm still workin for the man Bills ain't stoppin no time soon So I guess that I ain't either Writin rhymes in the meantime Tryna give my life some meanin Workin to provide Til I meet the reaper We all pay the tithe We really pay the preacher I guess that that's jus life We born into the system Choose a 9 to 5 Jus to become a statistic My soul end up a victim Never pursue what I love Sold to capitalism So I end up just a number They funnel kids into prisons Start a war on drugs Ain't no government assistance This exactly what they want Savin on labor costs White man a solicitor Keep the classist shit Be an advocate for prisoners We need a cataclysm Or ain't shit gon change I don't want killin For a minimum wage Green, green, green Spend my whole life chasin green Never chase our dreams Cuz we stuck in the machine Green, green, green Smokin for some dopamine We forget the enemy They keep us starin at a screen Public education Used to brainwash the masses They don't see a problem 45 was a fascist Whitewashin history Pickin through curriculum Teachin what they want And erasin all the shit they done Oppression is systemic Law and order all corrupt Abandoned in a pandemic Showed us they don't give a f*ck This the real disease Issa system underneath N they still tryna claim that this the land of the free Really F*ck the police They in place to maintain That property's prioritized N people still remain chained Them pigs still get away with killin people in the streets I'm hopin that you listen If your pigment look like me Silence is compliance And now's the time to speak Recognize that my whiteness violent Historically Regardless of my situation I've got to acknowledge My privilege and the system that Needs to be demolished Cops gotta be abolished n I'm jus paying homage To all my friends in bondage That shit more than jus symbolic Cuz they really got this trauma That they carry from they father I'll never understand they pain When 12 claim another body BLM is not a trend Society stay movin on Get used to the movement Cuz this sumn I'm not movin on This is real life Not a hashtag It don't stop at ya status But we got work in the morning Cant afford to get distracted Green, green, green Spend my whole life chasin green Never chase our dreams Cuz we stuck in the machine Green, green, green Smokin for some dopamine We forget the enemy They keep us starin at a screen
