[Verse 1: Ric Flo]
Yo raised by the so called state to what benefit
When they don’t want you to eat
Sometimes I feel like there’s an elephant In the room
But I came along way from the bush
Hushed gums never get a second look
Now we look hard, keep guard because we have too
They want us to suffocate
And fall into the trap of their lasso
Mysteries of life got me thinking about my brother Kanu
Like what the fuck happened?
Thе disappearing act, I don’t want too know to well becausе I’m Black
I don’t wanna wear a mask, act, or fall in these societal traps
Real recognise rap
Document dreams beyond the facts
Otherwise the futures fucked
Long time virus way before 2020
Wipe old minds to the young wise and ready
Can’t let these times get too heavy
Can’t let these times get too heavy
No no no no no
[Chorus: Ric Flo]
Same old regime but we don’t fuck about
Times are a-changing and we’re not checkin out (trap the body can’t lock the mind)
No we won’t be lockdown (trap the body can’t lock the mind)
It’s the same old regime but we don’t fuck about
Times are a-changing and we’re not checkin out (trap the body can’t lock the mind)
No we won’t be lockdown (trap the body can’t lock the mind)
[Verse 2: Kenji]
Fuck all that new year, new me shit
If you bring that type of energy, you’ll lose me quick, shit
Y’all be stuck in a cycle
Yourself your biggest rival
Fuck all that talk just make waves bigger than tidals
Setting the bar high
I cruise in a dope ride
Niggas tryna shine chain long as my shoe size
Look, you ain't shit unless you stacking your bread
And getting placements
I be networking
And moving to different places
Tryna find what I lost back in the day
The struggle been real but I never questioned my way
My day ones know that
Kenj won’t fall back
Always been about the big picture
Free Kodak
Pose with hoes onetime just for the gram
The fake lifestyle the way we live for the bands
The game won’t change
And these lanes won’t merge
I’m always locked in stitching pain within a verse
[Chorus: Ric Flo]
Same old regime but we don’t fuck about
Times are a-changing and we’re not checkin out (trap the body can’t lock the mind)
No we won’t be lockdown (trap the body can’t lock the mind)
Its the Same old regime but we don’t fuck about
Times are a-changing and we’re not checkin out (trap the body can’t lock the mind)
No we won’t be lockdown (trap the body can’t lock the mind)
