Outside the Box – (Otb)

People got no common sense anymore or cents to the poor
Sending these kids to the festival war
Society crumbled from masking galore
My mind state grasping
But not like before, We always at war
I'm tryin to chill, walk with a hoodie
They killing on wheels
Beating the case
Then signing a deal
It's never enough if I'm being real
I never want more
Just equal appeal
Confused, But not steady amused
Cancel them nigga's
& I'm feeling the noose
Educate me until they kill me on sight
It's my head or money
& I gotta choose
No teaching a lesson, So teachers were screwed
We all in the streets
We paying our dues
Taxing us harder
But Bezos's refused
It's Covid 19
Or billionaire cruise
Let me get famous
& make my own shoes.
Bots end up buying, & making trillions off some of my dues.
Hand me downs everywhere, Baby I gotta lose
Nike made the profit, Tried to checkmark the win.
They fucked on mental, I think that's abuse?
Killing me slowly
Now I'm stealing my shoes.
Ironically, I'm only dreaming bout the life that we choose.
Know the pecking order's real, It's either broke or be used.
I know it sucks to take the latter
But, I'll find my own way
Scary thoughts to think that I could end up back in em days
Forreal, yeah
Try to remain positive
They got their own provocative
Label me & see
I Sold my soul long before we'd ever meet.
Yeah
Things changed but time goes,
2 years, time froze
& Now we all up late watching karen videos
Hindsight, It got the best of me
& Job's not finished, It got the rest of me
& All my life I had this destiny. . .
The burdens I carry
I'm weighing heavily
Learned that once I fell in love with all my closets enemies
To my family
Friends & Memories
It always feels like centuries
The last time that I seen ya
You were all in need of therapy.
Content with all the promises I showed on voluntarily.
Next time that we speak
We only function temporarily
Say your families blood
I tell em, well not necessarily
I'm not your ordinarily nigga
