lyrics

They say that cultures in a melting pot boil away.
This is where everybody's staying. There's oil in waves.
Toil in trades, you can get that pay,
but go home a little deader at the end of every day.
It's a set up.
I get it. We're surface level free.
Institutionalized but still in the streets. Shit..
I don't got solutions.
But, sellin my strength's like prostitution.
So, I dropped the shovel, chopped my boss off of the food chain.
Said plain, I'd rather be my own that.
Now every time I'm on a beat, I own that.
Fuck who's online listening like phone taps.
I meant that three ways.
Sensitive side isn't the one I tend to embrace.
I'm abrasive, make a racist run like races.
Meant this a few too:
Beer bottle chases.
Shots. Aces. Bullets. Cases. Suits.
More money for the courts, more hatred.
Stupid shit is looking more and more sacred.
I'd probly start praying if the roof caught ablaze.
What a useless array of options we're offered,
so the corporations can keep cash in coffers.
In turn, they give cash to the coppers,
and politicians so the masses can't actually prosper.
Capitalists have got that shit on lock brah.

Big business got the industry locked.
They manipulate the system so the kids don't get a shot.
Either posted on a burner or they floating in the pot.
I see people lookin hopeless, man, I see that shit a lot.
Gottem Locked to the rock that they tossed off the dock.
Locked to the rock that they tossed off the dock. Gottem Locked.

I don't think that I can stop it from sinking.
Clinks on deck. Say cheers. Keep driinking.
Bling on necks makes dreams keep clinging,
but you never see them anywhere but on the screen singing,
or on the cover of a magazine grinning.
I'm smoking so loud that my ears start ringing.
Good. I wasn't tryna hear from the beginning.
See, I been intending to cut this key,
but I don't mean blow, I mean set this free.
I mean, lets just keep our cash in our jeans.
Tell the labels we ain't playing ball if they aren't funding teams.
That thinking's staying small.
I'm just tryna set a scene.
Every day we're gettin bigger than we ever have been.
Who's we? We're the people with the jobs so demeaning,
we spend our lunch break plotting robberies, scheming.
Get locked in for tryna keep up with Jones'.
Get locked out, not payin bills, be homeless.
Locked in the cycle.
Lost in the moment.
Locked on, in the cross-hairs, not knowing it yet.
Just do what's expected.
This shit's too smooth to reject it.
Living an illusion of success.
Never ask whats locked in Fort Knox, that's best. Yes.

Big business got the industry locked.
They manipulate the system so the kids don't get a shot.
Either posted on a burner or they floating in the pot.
I see people lookin hopeless, man, I see that shit a lot.
Gottem Locked to the rock that they tossed off the dock.
Locked to the rock that they tossed off the dock. Gottem Locked.
