Slave Mentality

Trynna escape reality
Life it's filled you tragedy
Pick myself up, but I fall back down like gravity
Lot of people laugh at me
Thought they would be glad for me
Wish them best of luck, it sucks
We still got slave mentality
Trynna escape reality
Life it gives you tragedy
Pick myself up, but I fall back down like gravity
Lot of people laugh at me
Thought they would be glad for me
Wish them best of luck, it sucks
We still got slave mentality
Focus on the real
While a lot of people focus just to steal
Growing up we always ran from the cops
Cuz' we always thought they shoot just to kill
Seen lot of nigga hustle on the block
Got to, if you wanna eat a meal
Fingers itching and it’s steady on the glock
But all they really wanna do is have a mill
This world is filled with hurt
Either make it out or you live in dirt
The one close to us still dead and gone
So we put they legacy on a shirt
I hate for it to be the ones that got a goal
Or try to make a difference truly from the soul
Just to get called to the pearly gates
Just cuz' a nigga had to up a pole
I'm tired of the phoniness
And the loneliness
Thinking that they got a bone to pick
Haters just keep harassing y’all
Like these niggas don’t know to quit
Imma paint the picture right
Change don’t happen over night
People smile and try to hang
But gaining trust like rolling dice
We the ones controlling life
But some end up fatalities
When we’re lost cuz' we was never taught what is a tragedy
We robbing, stealing, killing, dealing
Still got that slave mentality
Robbing, stealing, killing, dealing
Still got slave mentality
Trynna escape reality
Life it's filled you tragedy
Pick myself up, but I fall back down like gravity
Lot of people laugh at me
Thought they would be glad for me
Wish them best of luck, it sucks
We still got slave mentality
Trynna escape reality
Life it gives you tragedy
Pick myself up, but I fall back down like gravity
Lot of people laugh at me
Thought they would be glad for me
Wish them best of luck, it sucks
We still got slave mentality
Life’s just what it is
Everybody main goal to make it big
Some people focus on negative
And they hate if it doesn’t benefit
I make music for the younger kids
But a lot of em you can’t tell them shit
I really hope they keep an open mind
And realize how we can benefit
This world is filled with evil
Fucks to give is zero
As I look through the peephole
Seen a figure stand at the door
So I grabbed the strap and reload
Told my girl to put on these clothes
As we try and stay quite I feel the nigga know that we home
So I hear that bang bang bang
Here shots fire rang rang rang
And I know they trynna kick down the door
But I ain’t bout to let shit hang
As I’m standing there sadly
Thinking this gone end badly
We can’t escape tragedy
Still got slave mentality
