They swear niggas win when they sin the most
Temporarily be the toast
Guns and butter on what matters the least, watch 'em overdose
Let 'em hang, nigga, hang by they gold ropes
Smoke dope 'til you comatose, no hope
For that butter, niggas die broke, third eye woke
Poke holes in the American Dream, run out of options
Made it easy, you can hustle and scheme, but one problem
They building private prisons just to house niggas
For cheap labor, that's why, nigga
They call it P-I-C
It's not a club, but you V-I-P
Series of numbers that replace your ID
Home of the cowardly, freedom ain't free
The revolution won't be shown on TV
We too busy watching fake reality
You see, what goes up, comes down
Dog chase tail, go 'round and 'round
We all hypnotized when we hear the sounds
Ever seen a clown with a smile that was upside down?
You see it
They swear we going to the promise land
They swear they better than a better man
We need to get our shit together, man
You probably listening like, whatever, man
They swear niggas be killing when they just killing
Waking up every morning, hollow, no filling
You hear the rap, money stack, how it touch the ceiling
Gotta tell my nephews, they really have a ceiling
That's to be honest, you ain't getting everything that's promised
40 Acres and a mule, right, work so they can take
Cost of living tax 'til your back break
No grass, but you still missing the snakes 'til they slither on ya
Who tired of looking at the middle man?
The one on top, so he devised a plan
And who too busy thinking promise land
To realize the real lies, pinpoint the scam
Shooting the messenger, that's only part of our conditioning
They keep tryna tell us, but we not listening
You wanna hide it, put it in a book
They wanna hide it, put it on the corner, watch it cook
You see, what goes up, comes down
Dog chase tail, go 'round and 'round
We all hypnotized when we hear the sounds
Ever seen a clown with a smile that was upside down?
You see it
They swear we going to the promise land
They swear they better than a better man
We need to get our shit together, man
You probably listening like, whatever, man
