Suckers

there's a sucker born every day
many get taxed, few get paid, some don't last, and some get saved
but no one gets away
grab a hoodie, get a mask, stack a rack, and pack a passport
stash it out back, and bury it with a ghost gun in a black jansport
secrets are only safe when the only one that knows that secret is you
don't make the mistake thinking yours is the first snakeless crew
the world don't give a fuck about your life or what ya going through
decipher the gimmicks and bullshit, quick, fight or flight, stick and move
every human has a story sad enough to make us all cry
so callus your heart as fast as you can, don't feed the strays or let em inside
all things pass, to heal a wound it takes time
don't stress on the past or anything that you can't see with the naked eye
bet cheating death expect the debt to be collected the next second
chances at best are happenstance and success is s'til too rare to mention, well
i've got a plan to kill anyone in the room before i start shaking hands
some lessons are learned in blood other lessons were meant to just break a man
put the pieces together even if the puzzles pieces never meant to meet each other
pay your debts, change your socks, dead or alive, be sure to call your mother
a seed's a small simple thing but eventually grows into a tree
some stand underneath the giants, and others chop em down so the village can eat
sucker born every day
many get taxed, few get paid, some get lost and some get saved
but no one gets away
smile wide for that pig when he pulls you over
chuckle relax and be chummy if you're riding dirty no smoking or nose runny
focus and take a deep breath so they never notice anything funny rolling these dice every day
we gotta make it some way
lying and promising to feed us cake, never trust what the royalty say
do not pop the trunk, make them read your rights, demand to speak to an attorney on sight
never admit guilt because they will systematically make mountains out of molehills
sometimes they kill, fabricate, entrap
every year a thousand bodies are stacked up by those who claim to protect with a badge
hate the fact that some of these young cats never had a OG that could have their back
All bad, the way they wanna put us in a cage to get paid for every case no matter the race, that's it
take a bid before you snitch, don't settle for that weakness
life is a gamble, might as well play all the angles before you're tangled
snakes always slithering up in the grass too and if you don't watch your back sometimes they blast you
all i can do is share a bit of that truth
