Clockwork

[Verse]
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

[Ad-libs]
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
