Truth
Truth
The 13th Amendment made us all
Potential slaves to the system
This demon we call government is slick
Don’t chu miss them
He’s shrewd in all his actions
Misdirects with his words
Makes promises he don’t keep
And say that’s not what you heard
Giving visions of better living but it’s
Only for him
When it comes to the people
Ain’t no real affection for them
That’s why it’s easy to shoot your kids
And watch them die in the streets
Lock up the fathers
So they can make the cycle repeat
Filling up on human suffering
Like we all you can eat
And over our pain they ain’t losing
No sleep
You can’t convince me
Because you’re behind all of the plots
The wars in different countries
And the innocents shot
And all the black man wanted was
A little freedom
But look what the cost be
While you’re discussing all our lives
Over donuts and coffee
They devised economical schemes
To push blacks to the streets
Then hit us with tricky laws
And sweep us straight off our feet
We land inside the system
We placed in a tomb
Within the belly of a beast
That only knows to consume
It devours us like we food
We grow like we crops
Then harvest us for money
That they get off the stocks
But these the ones
That lock us up for stealing nickels and dimes
But their hands in cookie jars stealing
Mills at a time
But as long as they ain’t caught
I guess that it’s cool
Cause prison is only built for societies’ fool
But they breaking laws too
Just with secretive hands
And these the leaders you got giving us
The laws of the land
They tell you game like all prisoners
Are monsters in fact
So they can get you off our side
and they can fill up their racks
but the truth some guys in here
need to be free
cause God truly helped them change
Plus they earned a degree
But it’s hard for you to see forest trees
Yeah the media is on their side
So that’s not what you see
So they keeping your family members
Till they’re old and they die
Because they caught them making
Mistakes against a government lie.
