lyrics

Lord they got us trapped
Claim we're a violent threat strapped
Must be a thug if we do rap
Living like caged beast that’s a fact
So many emotions fill me
but I gotta be real g
I hope you see clearly if you're near me
Holla if you hear me please feel me

I obey the law and I still get tackled
I follow the rules and still I'm shackled
No way to be free in the land of the brave
Bow down shut your mouth be a slave

Situation today The atmosphere is hostile
Gotta watch out no one knows the gospel
They'd rather gossip and put my face on social media
Competition is strange and government getting greedier

That's why cats in the streets are strapped ready to react
Not opinion these are facts just ask the blacks
Cuz the country following the leader of the pack
Coward would rather exec a law than admit the war is a fact

Can't diagnose the enemy can't even face the problem
Tell me where he went to college and learned how to solve em
I guess the streets acting wild is just a side effect too
Why dismiss the youth in hoods these projects won't bless you

What should you do when you hate on us too
Prejudiced to assume what I wear and what I'll do
This is my crew and we don't have room for your antics
So you better step down before you get back handed

I obey the law and I still get tackled
I follow the rules and still I'm shackled
No way to be free in the land of the brave
Bow down shut your mouth be a slave

I guess I'll take it all to the grave
What a shame
Another video of another mistake
What a shame
God I wish there was another way
What a shame
To serve and protect still we pray
What a shame

This is the new standard got my ocl right here
Martial law is to fear in the cross heirs
I can't even collect run off water off my rain gutter
You need me to depend on you plugged in and shutter

Picture me solo surviving on my own doing it right
Instead you wanna take my money now I gotta fight
Assist me in every way so I'm nothing without you
But these cowardly moves is exactly why I doubt you

We all need truth and as for you, you make up lies
You create your own truth and reality you despise
I guess I can't front because this is how it is every week
But I feel cornered and I can't turn the other cheek

God I need to speak up before my blood leaks out
Speak up and stand up gotta lead before we bleed out
Last of a dying breed and millennials are brainwashed
Just as you planned it and you can't even explain trust

Lord they got us trapped
Claim we're a violent threat strapped
Must be a thug if we do rap
Living like caged beast fact
So many emotions fill me
I hope you see clearly if you're near me
Holla if you hear me please feel me
I gotta be real g

I obey the law and I still get tackled
I follow the rules and still I'm shackled
No way to be free in the land of the brave
Bow down shut your mouth be a slave

I guess I'll take it all to the grave
What a shame
Another video of another mistake
What a shame
God I wish there was another way
What a shame
To serve and protect still we pray
What a shame

This is for the boys in blue
I got you
This is for my brothers in the streets too
I got you
This is for those who died on tv
I got you
This is for the sheeple programmed
I got you

You know I got to.
