ClockWork - Dice Raw

I’m trying to find out what’s wrong you know

It all started so long ago

But it’s not a big mystery

It’s really just retracing history

Only gotta go back a century

Thug life ain’t the only life meant for me

Blacks and cops, being sworn enemies

I guess it’s just all in our energy

And falling into it was meant to be

But that’s because we accepted it

And we never rejected it

And we’re overwhelming evidence

The plan is sadistic in nature

Drowning in hatred, no way to mistake it

No way to escape it

Just face it

Some cats is in jail cause they innocent

Some cats is in jail cause they idiots

And got caught up in dumb ass predicaments

Or just trapped in the system but

The system is horsepower now

It’s like one-thousand pistons

One thousand prisons

Based on how young brothers make bad decisions

Shits like a cataclysm

When I voted this ain’t what I envisioned

Who I voted for really shouldn’t let this shit go on

Almost out of fuel, feel like I can’t roll on

I need something else to hold on

Tell them young playas out there

Don’t get caught slippin baby, just hold on

Yeah, just hold on

How much time will you give away

These bars are turning into scars in my mind

Trapped by a nation whose aim is incarceration of a people

My people, my people
