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
