Broken Systems
We go to war so our kids don't get to feel how we feel
You know
We keep on fighting but we never see anyone win
What a waste
A progressive realization towards Truth is what we need to give
So the next generation doesn't sweat as much as we as we did
Promise
No more running from a system
That's been killing our dreams
All the violence right beside me
I'm the eye of the storm
If I see you in the wreckage
You a waste of a seed
You were acting like a King
But you're only just a pawn
Bring it back
I be trying to break the chains that can turn me to a slave
Sacrificing my life that's the price I gotta pay
No more living in my head that's a cold dark place
With my blood, sweat and tears
I be ready for the game
Bring it back
I be trying to break the chains that can turn me to a slave
Sacrificing my life that's the price I gotta pay
No more living in my head that's a cold dark place
With my blood, sweat and tears
I be ready for the game
I've been vacant from my thoughts
I've been serving in a system that be covered with oppression
And some chains to the mental
Everybody undercover cause we always pointing fingers
At the people out the system
Who just wanna make a difference
We be living in the matrix
Every person be a virus
Multiplying with no conscious
We don't care about these verses
Which can bring us to the heavens
And break these possessions
That can push us to depression
And some other complications
Everybody got their vices
But we never show impressions
We be acting like we rocks
But we softer than a muffin
We be acting like we tough
What a lie we be living
Are we ever gon progress
That's a theory of a question
We be living in a mess
We got leaders who wear dresses
Who be in it for the cash
Only pockets they will bless
They be leaders of a system
That got traps to the neck
Treating funds like it's candy and the future like it's poison
No more running from a system
That's been killing our dreams
All the violence right beside me
I'm the eye of the storm
If I see you in the wreckage
You a waste of a seed
You were acting like a King
But you're only just a pawn
Bring it back
I be trying to break the chains
That can turn me to a slave
Sacrificing my life that's the price I gotta pay
No more living in my head
That's a cold dark place
With my blood, sweat and tears
I be ready for the game
I'm back
I be trying to break the chains that can turn me to a slave
Sacrificing my life that's the price I gotta pay
No more living in my head that's a cold dark place
With my blood, sweat and tears
I be ready for the game
Here lies the aftermath of corruption
And kids not going to school
We in a war we never see
But yet we get to watch
I be fighting for the Truth
And it's only the beginning
I be fighting for the youth
Who've been bullied by the system
Who don't wanna go to school
Cause life is not appealing
They be running to the Thugs
Who will only get 'em killed
I be talking about the people
Who can always teach you nothing
Who be acting like they're skilled
But death is what they giving
Rain drops like tears
Only pain I be feeling
It be like a wormhole trying to reach my service ceiling
Seeing kids every corner trying to get to the sniff
Is really disappointing cause they be living in a dream
And it's flipping unappealing like vomit in the kitchen
If you really think about it can really make you feel ill
The Aftermath of corruption it be like a day dream
Politics and corruption I be stirring at the mirror
Only lies they be spilling just to show a perfect picture
Photo-shoping all the evil that be killing our kids
What the hell is going on
Have we lost our minds
Or they were never there
You know
We keep on fighting but we never see anyone win
What a waste
A progressive realization towards Truth is what we need to give
So the next generation doesn't sweat as much as we as we did
Promise
No more running from a system
That's been killing our dreams
All the violence right beside me
I'm the eye of the storm
If I see you in the wreckage
You a waste of a seed
You were acting like a King
But you're only just a pawn
Bring it back
I be trying to break the chains that can turn me to a slave
Sacrificing my life that's the price I gotta pay
No more living in my head that's a cold dark place
