Our generation too complacent with remaining nameless
Trade the making of our ages
Gaining nothing but a paycheck
Got us training for some some wages
Degrading just for a payment
You a number in them pages
Where work conditions is heinous
And nothing short of outrageous
But always short us and pay less
But you could be on the pavement
So it's all good ain't it
I mean you should be gracious
For that enslavement
Considering where i came from
It's more shells all around like a summer of cicadas
The cadencе distract me from where thе pain is
I take it and make a painting
Im sick of waiting
Mark a X where the days went
And a X where i'm aiming
I put bars together
Like a preacher putting
Palms for a amen
So if the beat is like a angel
Y'all treating lyrics like satan
But yasin taught me it's more like an equation
12 jewelz to build a nation
10 percent gon keep us caged
And 85 lost in dazes
But only 5 know it's changing
We breaking snapping the matrix
That's why im practicing patience
And going back to the basics
But i rather put a bullet where my brain is
Before im contemplating paying my way in
Sway em with playlist placements
Somewhere between underrated
And moving clubs like some cavemen
It's so amazing
Respect it like lowered gazes
In a world so racist like ebola cases
I put 18 years into this marriage
Like viola davis
My paranoia reigning
Never need payola favors
To make sure my neighbors all is A list
I'm punching out
Now see ya later
Damn
