Graves & Cages

Free them people out the cage, system treat 'em like slaves
Its a 2nd chance to life my nigga you can be great
You can change yo whole life with just one simple mistake
Long sentences for drugs, that shit stupid & played
Nigga try to run up on me mane that shit gone get laid
God holdin on my sanity, he hearin me pray
I can't entertain no fuckery, I'm stuck in my ways
& When I get up to the top my nigga, history made

World judgin all my people by they colors & shades
Still gettin crazy looks just when my shit in some braids
I can't get that time back from when my brother was caged
Had to learn shit on my own but that shit made me a great
They fear the knowledge of our culture so they take us away
They don't want us unified, they rather see us astray
Niggas get crucified, its still masters today
Young black successful niggas they want us in a grave
Rather count up me some gwap or be somewhere in a daze
Corporations treat our queens like they easy replaced
A lot of youngins in my city touch a gun before dating
They don't help us, they don't check us, they just throw us away

Free them people out the cage, system treat 'em like slaves
Its a 2nd chance to life my nigga you can be great
You can change yo whole life with just one simple mistake
Long sentences for drugs, that shit stupid & played
Nigga try to run up on me mane that shit gone get laid
God holdin on my sanity, he hearin me pray
I can't entertain no fuckery, I'm stuck in my ways
& When I get up to the top my nigga, history made

Who say business ain't for us? Tell 'em they'll be crazy
No matter how much gwap you get, they still givin you grades
Know it hurt to see yo partner gone, they took em away
They give us graves or a cage, gotta get out that maze
I been smokin so much dope like its some shit I can't face
I don't understand the hate between my own damn race
They don't feel you unless you only talkin ARs & Ks
So much talent in my city, we don't get enough praise
Memphis 10 once again
Mane we back on the stage
Bring some M's back to my family, that shit there'll be crazy
You don't understand my art, then you way too lazy
You don't understand my heart, I'm too real to feel hatred

Free them people out the cage, system treat 'em like slaves
Its a 2nd chance to life my nigga you can be great
You can change yo whole life with just one simple mistake
Long sentences for drugs, that shit stupid & played
Nigga try to run up on me mane that shit gone get laid
God holdin on my sanity, he hearin me pray
I can't entertain no fuckery, I'm stuck in my ways
& When I get up to the top my nigga, history made
