Damn
Can't wait for the brighter days
They got me stuck in the system
But I ain't trippin
Stuck in the system
The food we eating is killin
Our mental steady imprisoned
But somehow we keep on livin
God willing I make it outta the trenches
I can see it in my mind so I knew that I could get it
So now they got me on a mission
To make a better life
Than the one that I was given
Don't see no competition
I'm focusing on these riches
Ain't have no pot to piss in
& Now we driving in Benz's grinding every minute
You know them niggas on my block wylin
In front the spot runnin
When they hear the cop sirens
Thinking will I ever stop grindin
Pack after pack let the guap pile in
The judge point the finger & he say "You"
Now I'm locked for a crime that I ain't do
Hope they don't send me off to prison
& Get labeled a villain
I know this can't be livin
They got me stuck in the system
Can't wait for the brighter days
But now I'm stuck in the system
I know soon I'll be getting paid
Right now I'm stuck in the system
They caught a nigga slippin
Say I resisted & now I'm stuck in the system
But man I'm just a victim that's stuck in the system
Phoning home and the same things going on
Got shot by them niggas he knew all along
That's usually how it goes in the zone I roam
In the system where them niggas try to break ya soul
But now I'm on the road
Flyin' round the globe
I won't let a nigga stop me I'm feelin cocky
Influenced by Mos Def & Kweli
Young Blackstar was born & raised where the crime be
Uh stuck in the system since birth
I done rose from the dirt
Where they mad at who did it first
It's a dark cloud over the ghetto, shit cursed
Niggas dying over thirst shit I'm just staying alert
The cops tell you put your hands up and they shoot
Say you did something but it ain't true
I'm thinkin like what is it, death or prison
I know this can't be livin
They got me stuck in the system
Can't wait for the brighter days
But now I'm stuck in the system
I know soon I'll be getting paid
Right now I'm stuck in the system
They caught a nigga slippin
Say I resisted & now I'm stuck in the system
But man I'm just a victim that's stuck in the system
