Broken System

[Chorus: Playboy The Beast & Sunny]
I may not have all the answers but I know we need a change (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Too many of our people gone and locked away inside a cage (Yeah)
And I don't know if I can take this pain another single day (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
The only thing I really know, there's gotta be a better way (Yeah)

[Verse 1: Playboy The Beast]
Yo, more than half of the men that I met inside federal prison
Were for drug related crimes because they battle addiction
When prisons became a business the citizens became victims
Recidivism is rising because they rigging the system (Rig the system)
"Land of the free" but it don't feel that way to me
Cause every time I look around another tower's what I see
Surrounded by razor wire so how did this come to be?
These politicians don't abide by the same laws as you and me
And you don't stand a chance in court if you can't afford to pay them fees
They overcharge us out the gate so we'll be forced to take a plea
Make an example out you if you go to trial, just wait and see
Then they so quick to lock us up and they just throw away the key
Guilty 'til proven innocent, that's how it really is
This shit's an experiment, We the People the guinea pigs
They gave my brother twenty years for conspiracy to flip bricks
These sick pricks touching kids and get a slap on the wrist, it's bullshit

[Chorus: Playboy The Beast & Sunny]
I may not have all the answers but I know we need a change (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Too many of our people gone and locked away inside a cage (Yeah)
And I don't know if I can take this pain another single day (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
The only thing I really know, there's gotta be a better way (Yeah)

[Verse 2: Playboy The Beast]
Too many sons, too many daughters
Too many mothers, too many fathers done left us but they still haunt us
Cause they gone, they just locked in a cell
Real life purgatory, somewhere between Heaven and Hell
I realize that life's unfair and I may never be well
Got me feeling like I need some type of therapy care
Cause every time I went to jail people were rarely there
But soon as I get free again they try to tell me they care
I swear that they don't really know about this pain, I'm not okay inside
I'm holding back the tears behind this anger as I pray at night
I know I don't belong yet many years ago I changed my life
I know I've made mistakes but why's my family gotta pay the price?
I hate this life, before I live like this I'd rather take my life
Take this knife up to my throat and just fricking make a slice
Give me freedom or give me death and I mean it
I'll be screaming "Fuck the system" 'til the day I stop breathing

[Chorus: Playboy The Beast & Sunny]
I may not have all the answers but I know we need a change (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Too many of our people gone and locked away inside a cage (Yeah)
And I don't know if I can take this pain another single day (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
The only thing I really know, there's gotta be a better way (Yeah)

[Verse 3: Playboy The Beast]
Yo, in the face of diversity when I'm faced with uncertainties
Surrounded by enemies who be plotting to murder me
They locked me in a cell block to try to discourage me
But this fire inside of me keeps on burning eternally
So all this pain that's inside of me I'm keep it internally
Got me yearning for my freedom cause I'm missing my family, damn
Can't sleep at night because I'm stuck in my head
Ain't got no sheets and no pillows so I just lay on the bed
Twenty-four lock down, another day in the FEDs
I'll probably be fighting these demons 'til the day that I'm dead
So many people praising me, I'm only strong because I had to be
Had to overcome and make it back home to my family
I know they needed me so I refused to be a casualty of war
And now I've made it but I'm knowing they still after me
They'll never take me alive, I swear to God they'll never capture me
I really live this shit, I'm 'bout that life, this more than rap to me
