Feed Me Lies
Damn, the landlord done raised the fucking rent again
And I can't even get a loan from my friends
It's hard to keep a job when don't nobody hire me
Ex-felon on parole for murder-robbery
Fuck it, I might as well go back to selling dope
I've been trying hard, but I'm starting to lose hope
For 18 years I've been writing letters to my son
Told my family with my old life I was done
Tempted by the drugs and I'm tempted by the fast money
Even though I know that the streets never loved me
But you took away my best years for one mistake
Hoping that my seed is where the cycle breaks
It ain't no clean water in my city
Fight to get it fixed
We don't need your pity
We need more action not just posting on social media
And never trust what you hear on corporate media
You made it like this but you point the finger at me
You can try to act like your ass not guilty
The blindfold's off and I can see through the smoke
Dear America man you been a fucking joke
You can't feed me lies
You can't feed me lies
You can't feed me lies
You can't feed me lies
Now I'm the kid standing on the block with a big gun
I bend the corner and the opps all run
And I ain't never been afraid to catch a fade
Pops was in the pen so the streets is where I'm made
The set is where I found love and I've been banging since
Beat as a child so I was never taught sense
My mom's new boyfriend I had to put hands on him
Blue bandana around the kay when I let off on him
I'm just out there trying to survive school ain't teach me shit
Plus they not showing me how to make money legit
Ain't no computers in school ain't no money sent to the hood
COs taking vacations while teachers don't get paid good
Ain't no investing in me so ain't no investing in myself
Just a juvenile loss and I'm trying to find myself
Don't always pick the right choice when perception is narrow
Feeling like I'm living my life in front of a gun barrel
You made it like this but you point the finger at me
You can try to act like your ass not guilty
The blindfold's off and I can see through the smoke
Dear America man you been a fucking joke
You can't feed me lies
You can't feed me lies
You can't feed me lies
You can't feed me lies
And I can't even get a loan from my friends
It's hard to keep a job when don't nobody hire me
Ex-felon on parole for murder-robbery
Fuck it, I might as well go back to selling dope
I've been trying hard, but I'm starting to lose hope
For 18 years I've been writing letters to my son

Tempted by the drugs and I'm tempted by the fast money
Even though I know that the streets never loved me

You can't feed me lies
You can't feed me lies
You can't feed me lies
