I imagine a monetary prison cell
damn it I need to be free where I am
happy here  
 
 
how do I get it?
 
I've been poor
I mean ghetto
roaches
rats

while the sun beats down on them
draining and straining
even stealing from their high

I see a hierarchy in place
I'm told to follow its rules
 
IT

IT  
 
WINS!!!!
 
it trains us to be blind
it trains us to war
it feeds
 
well I'm here to tell you I'm rebellious
I will prevail my own way
I won't follow its orders

      R
 
internal conflict
 
 
I will learn to be free today
I won't attack my own
with fully loaded smiles
packing daggers behind my eyes
 
WARRIORS
 
flesh and blood  
 
SPIRITUAL
 
I will follow the orders of my commander
we are family
let's be kind to each other
let's war with  
 
IT
 
once and for all defeat

it
