Prisoner

Your only a prisoner When you let them label you one Your only a prisoner When you break down and dont get up Your only a prisoner When theres no shame in what you've done Your only a prisoner When you don't hate what you've become Ugh You can see, they put chains on your hands and your feet Put you in a box, change the way that you think But the chains on your mind aren't as easy to see So what you gonna do, gonna leave them be Cause society fills your mind with the greed Now your workin 9-5 for the green And you get so tired, that you can't see The lies they feed your mind just to keep You in a cage, deceit to the name Your TV is the canvas the paint is your pain Both sides of the fence look exactly the same It's ok if you don't believe what I'm sayin Conspiracy theories sound crazy to say But how much money do they got in the bank Yeah they keep it all for themselves While the rich get richer and the poor can only pray for some help It aint right, before I was five, had to realize That an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind That the time didn't match the crime That it's much more than just black and white That the media lies, and it only seems like No matter how hard we try We can never seem to make things right, OH MY When I was 10, had a handful of friends that were already dead Then I got forced on the meds To help deal with the feelings of abandonment When my parents left, when I was a kid Cause how else am I supposed to deal with it right This shows already gone on too long And If you think that you know what I'm sayin in this song, your wrong cuz I've only listed a bunch of excuses You can tell yourself but the truth is Each one of these things is a bar That keeps you contained Its not even the saddest part The saddest part is you keep feedin your brain these lies Over and over again Cuz you'd rather believe in a lie Than have to go out and change your life Your only a prisoner When you have a voice and don't speak up Your only a prisoner When your asleep and won't wake up Your only a prisoner If you let them tell you what your made of Your only a prisoner Until you realize that you made it all up Uhh man, look where I started I rose up and I crawled out the garbage I became an artist Paintin the scene so that they can see They're enslaved by the likes and the comments Don't worry about me, you treat yourself like an object And blame it on livin inside of the projects Cuz you can't see what the problem is Yeah let me tell you what the problem is None of these parents wanna raise they're kids Everyone's afraid to take that risk Pretending they're sick to excuse their sins Too busy on a phone to have conversations That could Change their lives, open their minds They let laziness controls their lives Waitin til 25 just to learn how to drive What you aint got the time? That's lies, that's lies I'm gettin tired of seein these kids depressed Messing with the chemicals inside their heads But just like these kids I rely on the pen For my dosages of happiness Til I found what my passion is Now I know that I aint the best But nobody ever gets here this quick In one year they couldn't do what I did But I digress You got to learn to think for yourself Got to learn to do what best for your health Learn how to use the cards that your dealt Even the worst of cards have their advantages See I got bad cards but I mastered them Take the best moments of your life and capture them Cuz if you had them them once before Then you can always have them again No more excuses
