lyrics

today I thought about raum
burning a city to ash
as ya'll are playing a part
crown off
crushed underneath a furious mob
I got a rush dodging officers workin' for the law
said that I talk like a bomb
a habit of going off
I had to stop
probably inherited from my pops
its weird to peer in the past
knowing it touches the now
I'm only living in the moment
if the music is loud
paying the cost [deep]
of living in hypercapitalism
lower class kids get into addiction and stay
my brains aching, I been saying
there isnt a break
I aint trying to get arrested
Im trying to make waves
I been poor
almost everything could be different
I'm not breaking my back for the benefit of the system
thats telling us that we're worthless
paying near nothing for service
watching us beg on the corner and saying that we deserve it

...
...I got gold
all in my eyes
all shoved down my throat [x3]
it got violent
all by some kind of design from the throne

I've got a book you should read
that I been thinking about
now for close to a week
and when Im breathing aloud
it seems the silence is sweet
I almost feel we could be free
then I catch somebody new got brutalized by police
my boss makes bank
Im barely afloat
but I pay rent
'cause they'd gladly let me die if I don't
thats real shit
thats too grim
took stims and
im carried away, y'all
we'd be better off with all of the city hall heads gone
they funded the drug squad
then shuttered the shelters
so more poor people die in their sleep and cold weather
while the towns run by a board of directors
passing laws so the poor gotta bounce or be specters
I don't got gold, despite all the hook
and nylon line used when they catch, clean, cook
callin' us criminals, cool
I aint playing around
come get your jaw rocked thinkin that moneyll keep us down
