A broken society.


Some of you out there will understand where I'm coming from.
This system's fucking broken, I've lived life like a fucking bum.
It all stems from the problems that are living in my head.
The ones making me wish that I was fucking dead.
This self imposed depression.
Feeling constant aggression.
That's what happens when you don't live for yourself.
I almost fucking killed myself.
You fuck with your health, you'll never feel wealth.
Fuck what your parents say.
Fuck working a nine to five every god damn fucking day.
Fuck following the herd like a mindless fucking slave,
they tell you that you've got to behave.
They pull all the fucking strings, you're just another circus act.
Born into life as if you've already signed some stupid pact,
because a few racist white men decided they knew what was best
and nobody complains cause they've already drilled this into your fucking brain.
"Oh, I'd love to go to school for thirty years,
then work another thirty more,
and then I'll probably die a few years later.
What a fucking lovely plan."
Meanwhile I'll never pay attention to the evil fucking man.
The one making billions off the people who don't fucking care.
The ones living their lives thinking all is just and fair
and I don't fucking give a shit if you say that I can't handle it.
When the only way I can feel happy is like a candle, lit.
Yeah, I'll accept it, it's fucking hard for me.
To just live my life and fucking... "Be."
Just watch, wait, and you'll fucking see.
I'll make it, won't fake it, and then I'm gunna brake it.
I'll do my best to cause some change
and yeah I know my flows a little strange.
It's cause I'm fucking pissed.
I feel like I've been dissed.
Where's the justice that we seek?
Man, this system's fucking weak.
We're brothers and sisters here on Earth.
Why do they say they have no worth?
I'm supposed to be okay with these murders every fucking day?
What the fuck is fucking wrong with you?
It's fine cause we don't match hue?
If I fall in love with a black woman what am I supposed to do,
when I have to raise my son to watch out for red and blue?
Open your eyes, don't be a sucker.
Welcome to modern day racism mother fuckers.
