Stop moving, I think we got a problem
Here's the solution, first I need my restitution
Too many people spend their days in institution
Because of charges that just gives us the illusion
That they deserve it when sometimes that really ain't the case
But it creates the cycle of repeat incarcerates 
Unless you snitch on your squad and cooperate
Which is a death sentence cause the streets don't tolerate
Rats and mice then they get into exterminating 
All the fake ones in the city circulating 
That's the cycle caused from redlines and section eighting 
Cause even nowadays the country loves us separated 
And it's been tolerated by every generation
Since "The Declaration" when Blacks were three-fifths of Whites
That's why they built the tunnels and ran away at night
To get a better life up under the 'Stars and Stripes'

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
And to the Republic for which it stands,
One Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all...

Or so they tell us 

Ain't nothing change naw its hidden under different names
That's why we play the games, chase the money, get the fame
Because we trying to get out of the same ole cycle
That saw our parents struggle, working 9 to 5
To barely pay the taxes required by middle brackets 
Forget that stuff my homie toss it here, yea pass the ratchet
Put on a ski mask with my all-black bomber jacket
Hit a couple licks and see some cars and get to jacking
Got that 40 loaded just in case we get to blasting
That's the reality of many people tryna make it
Taking the routes that those who came before had gone and taken
That got em caught in the cycle of mass incarceration 
The only way to make it is to get an education
Cause after you attain it there's no way that they can drain it
But you can get the money, get the power, change the world
You can get the money, get the power, change the world
