Forget The System
Verse 1] Forget the system that profit off pain They sell a dream then disappear when you caught in the rain Try to pit us against each other, brother versus the block While the clock keep tickin’, another future gettin’ shot They package struggle, put a bow on collapse Call it culture, but really they just folding us flat Tell you beef makes you real, prison makes you a vet Funny how the same lie keeps us all in debt They want bodies for content, trauma for streams Flash cameras while your mama scream I stepped off that path when I peeped the design They don’t need you alive, they just need you to die [Hook] I won’t live by the street code I seen where that road go They clap when you fall Then forget what your name was I choose mind over ego I choose light over reload I won’t sell my future For a moment they can control [Verse 2 – fast, punchy, technical] They say stack money, then stack scars Then stack cases till you trapped behind bars Then they ask why you angry, why you twisted inside Like they didn’t write the script and press play on your life Every deal got strings, every favor a hook Smile in your face while they praying you crook They say “prove you’re hard,” I say “prove I’m free” Strength ain’t pullin’ triggers, it’s controlling me I seen talents rot ‘cause the block felt real Felt respected till the steel got revealed Now memorial tees where the future should be All ‘cause the myth of the street sounded cooler than peace [Hook] I won’t live by the street code I seen where that road go They cheer when you wild out Then vanish when you go cold I choose growth over shortcuts Truth over image and buzz I won’t throw my life away Just to look tough to some ghosts [Bridge – spoken, reflective] They don’t tell you survival is the real rebellion They don’t tell you walking away takes more courage Everybody wanna look hard Ain’t nobody wanna live long [Verse 3 – emotional, grounded] It’s easier to hate than to heal, I get it Anger feel like power till it drain your spirit I had rage in my chest, still chose restraint ‘Cause every dumb decision got an innocent price They don’t visit your cell, don’t pay your bail Don’t help your kids when you fail They just say “damn” and scroll away While another life get shelved I ain’t perfect, just awake I ain’t run, I just escaped From a cycle built to chew you up And call it fate [Outro – DJ scratch, chant] Forget the system (x4) Live smarter. Choose life.
