lyrics
ain’t no one who’ll let you know when you’re hanging loose
but they’ll tell you that it’s for a cause
and when your efforts don’t cut it
you failed your teachers
and now you’re saying
“i can’t make it anywhere”
by asking anyone
so it’s only right
if i could take a bigger slice
but just so you know
it’s made to entice
it’s by design
and if you’re looking for a free throw
you’ve got it made
now you’re getting paid
and all for what?
making shit
that you thought we’d need
this momma's got mouths to feed
this architecture's giving me anxiety
my entire life
i was relieved
of the need to reach for the stars
so I became the one
whose job it was to clean the dust
from those who scored
from daddy’s trust
i said too much but it’s okay
privileged to work for you any day
i hate the sound of chains that bind
so I taught myself to wrap that shit
‘round my teeth and bite back
hey, could you be a little clearer
why can’t you let us get ahead
do you fear us?
you call it reparations
i call it empty gestures
now it’s not enough
now it’s not enough
why’d you give up on me
why would you give me up
