See it's the worst when you feel cursed on this scorched earth.
Struggling to stand firm on a shaky perch that's been rigged to falter from the first day of birth.
662Please respect copyright.PENANAR2Iv19nqGX
I know you're thinking, "If I'm destined to suffer the sins of my father, then why even bother?
How could I open the eyes of my sons and daughters
If it's meant for them to swim in the same dirty waters?"

Don't stand for injustice of any kind
Don't even attempt to try it.

A broken toy on Christmas.

BEFORE you're presumed guilty!

See, this justice system ain't blind,
It has 20/20 vision
Especially when it comes to seeing young black, red, and brown men put in prison.
662Please respect copyright.PENANAItn3yiyxgQ
Probationary supervision, parole, the bracelet,
We're put in this system swiftly.

But don't ever embrace playing victim
No matter how much the devil tempts you
These jokers will accuse you of playing the race card
Knowing the whole deck is stacked against you!

Then your family will suffer LONG DIVISION!

It's gonna be frustrating and hard to understand, so at times you're going to find yourself over sitting in your sorrow
It's gonna be hard to look for a brighter day,
When you're never promised tomorrow.

Trying to find a shortcut to wealth.
662Please respect copyright.PENANA3r0F3rKiOq
Lack of initiative and self discipline,
will always be bad for your health.
662Please respect copyright.PENANAwGsN44m9A7
But in this battle for your body and soul,
You need to be willing to go on a warpath.

Because this shit could end in a bloodbath.
