Trapped in the system
The criminals, and the victims, the victim
Young life lost, tell me, who’s gonna fix him,
Grew up getting beatings
Never had a sisterin’
‘Older Heads’ used to curse him and diss him,
Where is the love, tell me who do believe in,
Better have faith like Biggie
Moves like Jagger
Educate your brain, leave jail with a swagger,
Bigger heads, making the money, while we suffer,
Think they care about us, NAH it doesn’t matter
They need us to do crimes, to make their life better,
Times cold mum cant buy a sweater
Trapped in this life, cats in the gutter,
‘Break the cycle’ part the sea like Moses
Face them brick walls, grow through it like roses
Bars are like medicine, ‘Listen take doses’
Live your life right, ‘Speak freely’ with your voices.
