The System
Caught in the system
no where to run
no where to hide
The law more our
foe then friend
Our young mothers
caught in the welfare system
Not able to get out
Before getting sucked in to
the governments game
Trying to beat the system
Not aware that the
System is beating them
Our sons getting caught up
In the street system
Being stereotyped and classified
To fit their own believes
Being harassed by our
Police who are supposed to
Protect and serve
But instead think they
Are above the law
The judge, jury, and executioner
This world that we live in
Is full of chaos and destruction
Not only chased by our district cops
But by jealous gangster’s
That think they own the streets
Growing up in a world
Of drugs, crime and greed
Money the ruler of all evil
Our sons getting shipped of
to fight a war that they don’t believe in
Fighting for a man that doesn’t have
our best interest at heart
Our daughters living in a world of
material things and money
Taking the saying sex sells literally
The times have change
girls are the aggressive ones
Seeing what we want and going for it
Anything goes at any and all cost
In the midst of it all
losing face, self respect and common sense
Shaking what our mothers took 9 months to make
Showing our self-loath with the clothes we wear
putting it down to not being ashamed of our bodies and being free
In actual reality we have imprisoned ourselves in our minds
Diluting this life we call freedom repeating our past
not knowing that our failures today are our failures tomorrow
the system is designed to entrap and snare
detaining and restoring to be
lost and forgotten and never
thought of again
