about

I combined my life and the lives of four friends growing up and combined them into this portrayal of the life we face growing up indigent in gentrifying cities.

lyrics

Verse 1

Turn the day into the night, cuz I really can't deal with all the light /

The soul contrite, it will ignite, will not abide by the code of the law in a lawless sight /

When its better to rob and not to hide, cuz a nigga wont eat when the field devide /

When they weigh the cost and see my life, an expendable asset, feel the rise /

Inside my heart as my mamma dies, my father cries, its no surprise /

Starved to death and they called them lives /

Eagle eye keep a watchful spy, supress the rise of the poor with pride /

Defending my, my right to find, my bit of happiness inside the lines /

The sides are drawn, the fields are long, the man is strong, but the powers to be are deafly wrong, till kigdom come, and the war is won, they'll never see what has begun, inside the minds of mortal men, still holdin on /

To a world so torn, by the wars to protect what had never been owned /

Land and the water, air and the daughter, son to the slaughter, thirty piece martyr, goona get harder to earn a dollar, so you gotta be smart... /

Free to the be theif, whens he goona reap heat, repeat history, never could of learned to read, knew he couldn't see thee, gotta pay a fee just to be on the streets, what he learned from the enemy, guised as a friend to me, fronted some emphetimines, duckin from the police, genes not holy, eyes full of greed and forgotten homies, testimonies, all they wanna see are comodities, human body monopolies, prisonous atrocities, these slave polocies, are of Mephistopheles...

Chorus

Don't wanna see us BE
Don't wanna see us FREE
Don't want us in the STREETS
So, CAGES are soon to BE (X3)

Don't wanna see us BE
Don't wanna see us FREE
NO, NO, NO....
Don't wanna see us FREE

Verse 2

Don't wanna see this world, don't wanna know whats still in store /

Let the night fully overcome, wanna open my eyes and not be poor /

Wanna medical plan I can afford and not to be known by my credit score /

So many doors been shut in my face, I lost the trace, I caught a case, I'm facin time, gotta walk the line, and keep a watchful eye, cuz rivals ride, with shanks made out of whatever they find, damn its hard out on the grind /

I know it seems like a fallacy, but the tragedy is an atrocity /

Couldn't my actions possibly, have motives weighed collectively /

Why can't they see my family tree, and all the mouths that I have to feed /

I know the law like a nursery, ut now they caught me dispersin these /

Tripped up rock, put a knot in my sock, to hid from the cop while I'm on the block /

Feans double peckin think they missed a spot, me years from now, but no power to stop /

But I thought I had the game on lock, yet it slipped from me, like a memory, and I lost the key that kept me free, school never had a place for me, BLASPHEMY, but literacy isn't as common as they think it be /

& The fear of such, kept me a slave unto the streets, but perception painted me, as the enemy, of this society, its propriety is a mockery, hypocracy, cuz white collar crime infects the whole economy, and aristocracy, but all they get is a slap on the wrist, cuz it kept the rich, and I get twenty five to life for payin rent, ain't this a !!!BITCH!!! /

Might as well just dig a dicth, throw me in and steal my breath, call me NIGGER "IGNORANT", I see how they be figurin, like prison is a Heven Sent, as to say we're never ment, to raise the Hell up out of it, but WE RISE LIKE PHEONIX, !!!SUCK THAT!!!...
