Systemic Suffering

(альбом: Product Of Entertainment - 2023)

Mr big rap star what you done with your check?
Brand new whip and chain you know something to flex
Gotta watch out for these youngins cause they'll come for your neck
Cause they ain't never had nothing and they under distress
You can't come around here unless you come with a tech
I come for respect is what you mumbled under your breath
Blink once now somehow you got a gun to your chest
And now they dumping and your wishing you could summon a vest
I'm just saying that them diamonds may be dope to you
And maybe you will gain praise from a chosen few
Maybe it'll bring fame and some roses too
Or maybe it was a game you were roped into
I was hoping you would wake up and maybe change a bit
How you ever gonna prevail if you aim to miss
Looks like my people won't change for shit
Still trapped behind chains and whips

That's enough, I'm fed up
Cause something's gotta give
I don't want to wake up
Until the chaos ends
Cause we all turn to dust
Hard lesson learned from this
We're all just victims of
Systemic suffering

I see my ancestors praying on their knees
That their loved ones never catch em swaying in the breeze
They'll tell ya to settle down boy you gots to breathe
But it's kinda hard when you're swinging from the poplar trees
They would stoke the rage
Listen, don't be brave
Gotta hope and pray
To try and keep the ropes away
The vultures shipped the slaves
The culture stripped away
Let's open the conversation
On how it sculpts today

That's enough, I'm fed up
Cause something's gotta give
I don't want to wake up
Until the chaos ends
Cause we all turn to dust
Hard lesson learned from this
We're all just victims of
Systemic suffering

After everything we experienced
We should really be furious
From the war on drugs to crack
And The Tuskegee experiments
I rather stand for the people
And everything we hold dear to us
Than to stand up for an anthem
And keeping up with appearances
Generational wealth is what we groveling to
With all the power from the profit that you garnered from who
But they do everything they can to not acknowledge the proof
You say critical race theory
But I call it the truth
And I ain't Superman
But I'd rather leave it all in the booth
And hope that every emcee after me is following suit
Let's hold our... fathers accountable and stop the abuse
If you can't identify the problem then it's probably you

That's enough, I'm fed up
Cause something's gotta give
I don't want to wake up
Until the chaos ends
Cause we all turn to dust
Hard lesson learned from this
We're all just victims of
Systemic suffering
