The Trap

The Trap This is the home of the heartless Corporate concrete Where you become captive To the same things you thought set you free Where solutions to society's problems Don't correct anything Class is in session please pay attention Only this moment and this mistake Will be submitted as evidence of who you are All your struggles & pain Transcribed into the footnotes of a court case The only lesson your gunna learn here is How to answer questions on an auction block Grindin for no reason because your not the one eating You're being eaten. Toe tagged by d.o.c. now your property Something like livestock Welcome to modern day slavery Gavels slam and they call it justice Testify to people who don't know you Let them size you up and set your price Based off things that you can't change Isn't it crazy how a room full of people can determine your worth Then auction you off with nothing to gain I feel like a stranger to myself sometimes Life on this side of the tracks can easily Make you a victim of falling through cracks I try to keep my hands clean But no matter what I do I still get it out the mud So i have dirt up to my knees and sometimes My fingerprints are bloody There is a reason they call this the trap Dollar after dollar diggin your own grave Someday soon those hundreds in your pocket Won't be the only one between the two of you with a blue face Vamp life not dead not alive I just sold my bed and bought a coffin Money doin backflips Someone's mothers screams go unheard into police sirens Someone please make the sound of these hollow tips go silent This is what it sounds like when the streets are callin Like an addict with an itch Somewhere in between the cracks in concrete and The stones in you're pocket I pray you don't get lost reaching for the stars Trying to get lost strapped to a glass rocket Just trying to forget the pain When you're feet hit the ground runnin Don't turn back and end up here again Welcome to the trap This is a systematic set up Designed intentionally with your struggle in mind Privatised justice making profit off your pain Another soldier lost in the system I solute you my friend keep your chin up Don't give up One more good man down Victim of he cant change Trapped by statistics and stereotypes Forcing you to become a product Reflecting a person your not A thing to be bought and chained to past mistakes Sold to the highest bidder A modern day slave
