Corrupt Freestyle

Ain't got a dartboard on my back but I feel like a target
It seems the only way to prosper appeal to a market
The flame it burns in my heart when I spark it
I put these matches in my words
Touch the paper and inferno's are barking
They set a cage
Step out of line and they tighten the leash
It's at the stage I've realized there's no freedom of speech
Cause Meg was silenced
The media talks gang violence
Our petitions are dismissed
We can't trust sirens
They say we're all treated equal
But it's so saddening
Ain't want to look for Richard
But for years they looked for Madeline
Apparently we're all in the same boat
That's maddening
Cause how do we survive if
We can't trust the people paddling
Growing up in ends
Everyday, there's an upset
Exposed to maltreatment
Then they wonder why it's bun feds
Like bunk beds we stay at the bottom
While they sleep at the top
The systems built to keep us controlled
Operations corrupt
The systems built to keep us controlled
Operations corrupt

What you know about trying to integrate
As the special child
You look different
Feel isolated, can't even get a smile
Explaining your cultures tiring
They don't get the style
And meanwhile your school is complaining
About your hairstyle
You're seeing people your age
Disappearing on news
And people that are black like you
Getting killed by the blues
White tops are left red
Cause of gangs with no truce
Black heroes demonized cause
Media mangled the truth
Your people dying at the hands of drugs
Your friendship group labelled as thugs
You feel like a mug
Cause of the work you put in
Just to be the one society is overlooking
Growing up, watching parents clean
Work, then do the cooking
Then realizing that the world is cold
Cause your parents getting old
But no one controls when it's their time to go
You'll one day teach your kids
When it's the time to know
The reason why they're different in this world
It's for survival though
