Born on Third Base - HookGenius

[Title: Born on Third Base] [Intro] [Verse 1] Six in the morning, the ceiling is leaking Coffee is cold, and the floorboards are creaking You're waking up in a castle of glass Watching the world through a first-class pass I'm scraping the bottom just to feed the machine While you polish a crown that you keep so clean They tell us to hustle, to grind and to sweat But the deck was stacked before the table was set [Chorus] IT'S A RIGGED GAME, BABY, AND WE'RE LOSING THE BET YOU'RE BORN ON THE FINISH LINE, WE'RE CAUGHT IN THE NET YEAH, THE DICE ARE LOADED, THE TABLES ARE TURNED YOU'RE COUNTING THE ASHES OF THE BRIDGES WE BURNED IT AIN'T FAIR [Verse 2] You talk about bootstraps and pulling them tight But you never worked a graveyard shift in your life Daddy's signature is ink on your soul While we're digging out of this deep, dark hole The caviar tastes like the sweat of the poor Don't act like you know what we're fighting for [Instrumental Solo] [Electric Guitar Solo - Soaring, distorted, backed by aggressive brass stabs] [Style Shift: Beat Switch - Heavy Boom-Bap Groove] [Rap Feature] Look at the ledger, the math doesn't add up You sip on the vintage while we drinking tap from a cup Private jets sketching lines in the smog While I'm chasing a paycheck through the thick of the fog Born with a silver spoon lodged in your throat I'm patching the holes in a sinking boat Overdraft fees versus offshore accounts You can't buy the struggle, no matter the amount Yeah, check the balance... insufficient funds [Bridge] SYSTEM ERROR... SYSTEM ERROR... WE CAN'T PAY THE COST SYSTEM ERROR... SYSTEM ERROR... PARADISE LOST [Chorus] IT'S A RIGGED GAME, BABY, AND WE'RE LOSING THE BET YOU'RE BORN ON THE FINISH LINE, WE'RE CAUGHT IN THE NET YEAH, THE DICE ARE LOADED, THE TABLES ARE TURNED YOU'RE COUNTING THE ASHES OF THE BRIDGES WE BURNED [Outro] Don't tell me it's fair [Abrupt Cut]
