lyrics

i'm so sick of this liberty
we're living in a big walled cell with a little piece
of crack rock, slapped hard, they snapped our mask off
they let us taste something pretty quick and that's all
now our race is a futile silly match long-lost
hard hung-up on the cross
called cost cuz
the cause ain't nothing
but struggling for some money
if it sounds good, y'all think it's funny
i'll be spitting stunning writtens while ya chillin
kid i really think i figured something big, i'ma fill 'em in
the system's broken, we won't admit our ignorance
were you listening?
i said this shit is broken and we won't admit our ignorance
they're soaking up our souls while we're hoping to be picked for king
we're choking when they shove it down our throat like a dick again
god damn, yeah i spit for real
we gon' kill the man for certain cause he fit the bill
and we sure gon' cut them curtains, split them prissy frills
if there's fire in this mic all i need is steel


let me see you lift your fist
i know y'all listening
what we need is power on the right night
to flip the script
we will rally now and fight blight
to fix this mess
what's the sound? de la rouda and skrillex
give me a microphone and i'll fill the room
spit a couple lines bout our doom
and really dude
get 'em all riled up to move
and kill it
i'm in the mood to be livid and i might still fly
but for now i am rattling this cage
when i'm onstage you see the bars in your face
cause i have god's speech
y'all have god's grace
every time i see i pray
that if y'all have ears please hear what i'm saying
mad clear we are playing ourselves like a game
our fear has created this hell that we stay in.
i said, our fear has created this hell that we stay in.
my peers haven't changed, i can tell they isn't thinking.
what i'm saying is this damn ship is sinking.
