Behind Bars

[Intro, Knox Hill]
Yeah
This is a real story
Sometimes you can't see the truth
’Til you're on the other side of the fence

[Chorus, Knox Hill]
All my life I've been so depressed
They ain’t hear me though, they ain't hear me though
Head down, I'm just tryna survive
They ain't hear me though, they ain't hear me though

[Verse 1, Knox Hill]
Coming back from hunting, I was swerving through the mountains
Riding high up in the clouds, shoulda known it'd be a downer
At the bottom of the bend, Matt, do you see that?
Pump the brakes, but it's too late, snarеd in a speed trap
I see the red and blue flash, I pull ovеr
Stayed, he crossed the line, he says "Are you sober?"
Now my head, he ain't convinced, "Let me check up on your sense"
I get out, show my prints, walk a line and count to 10
He takes my license, says "It’s for a couple checks
Put your hand up on your hood and wait here a couple secs"
Clock is ticking, but now I’m late for work
First I started as a victim, now I'm made like I’m a perv?
Shit, when I saw that po, I knew I should've flew with it
Now he's coming back with cuffs, "Boy, you know, you got a warrant?"
Tilt my head as I'm pushed into the back of a cop car
What’s the irony for this? A rapper behind bars

[Chorus, Knox Hill]
All my life I've been so depressed
They ain't hear me though, they ain't hear me though
Head down, I'm just tryna survive
They ain't hear me though, they ain't hear me though

[Verse 2, King Blitz]
I got the juice
They been number two since they made King get on the loose
The flow is soaking [?], I get, I rep here in the deuce
Y'all just sitting ducks, I'm chasing dreams like I'm the goose
Only twelve might mess with from the DNA head proof
I've been killing shit so long, I had to turn myself in
Always got these bars, I think I jig a good reception
Focused on the stretch, you out here focused on the flex
Thinking I'm a villain, I've been hearing from my ex, man
Y'all been holding onto petty shit, it ain't the D though
Only sound I comprehend on paper is the C note
They deny me chances, they don't want to see the dream
So me, myself and I, we went and started up a team
I've been killing rappers if they go against the squad
Before I called to church, I always went and stood behind these bars
Fuck a trial, dog, yeah, I'm guilty
Quick, they gonna throw away the case and do it quickly

[Chorus, Knox Hill]
All my life I've been so depressed
They ain't hear me though, they ain't hear me though
Head down, I'm just tryna survive
They ain't hear me though, they ain't hear me though

[Verse 3, Knox Hill]
No balls, put a jock in my chin
No calls, but they stop and they frisk
No laws for these blocks that I fix
No charge, but I'm copping offense
All these cops unfit wanna stop my whip
I'm not gonna care but they knocking again
Like Knox gon' skip, they ain't boxing me in
When this bell's been fixed, oh well, I come with
Got bars but I'm never gon' sell
These lines for the price of my bill
Give me life, but I'm never gon' tell
My pride ain't up for sale
Yeah, I'd rather go down with the ship, bitch
Check my jeans, I'm a misfit
Give me that sack when the Blitz hits
Started with nothing but a hit list
Boys in uniform, I take a niece before I run
Teen, these rulers got it wrong but I don't ever play along
Schemes heavy, I'm steady, I know my platform is ready
For me to step in and question and press the pressure for measures
To change the lectures and weapons, I'm here to speak for my section
But how can I beat the system when I'm already arrested
Damn
