[Intro] (Sample Chop: "See... see... how they run... see how they run...") "8-Bit on the track..." No books... no guidance... no light. They told us to run, but they turned out the lights. (YIP! YIP! LET'S GO!) [Verse 1] Three blind mice... yeah, that was us in the class No resources, no help, just waiting for time to pass Teachers checked out, textbooks twenty years old Left in the cold, story that was never been told Grew up fast, no map for the road ahead Learning how to survive on the streets instead (WHAT! YIP!) Now I'm thirty-something carrying the childhood weight Trying to build a future while I'm fighting with the state! [Pre-Chorus] (Sample: "Did you ever see... see... such a sight in your life...") (YIP! YIP!) They cut the budget, then they cut the dream! Left a young kid drowning in a silent scream! Now the adult's broken and the scars run deep Promises they made that they could never keep! [Chorus] Three blind mice, see how they run! (YIP! YIP! WHAT!) Raised in the dark with no sight of the sun! No education, no hand, no guide! (NO HELP!) Now I'm an adult with the damage inside! Three blind mice, see how they run! (YIP! WHAT!) Pay for the neglect when the childhood's done! [Verse 2] Look, no financial literacy, no coping design Navigating anxiety and crossing the line They expect a whole king from a broken-down house When you treated every kid like a quiet little mouse! (YIP! YIP!) Got a deficit in knowledge, got a surplus in pain Trying to fix my mental health while standing in the rain No mentors in the city, no backing from the school Now I'm learning life's lessons as a broken-hearted fool! (FACTS!) [Bridge] (Sample Chop: "They all ran after... ran after... the butcher's wife...") (YIP! Low pitch whisper) They cut off our wings and then told us to fly. No tools for the world... just a slow lullaby. [Chorus] Three blind mice, see how they run! (YIP! YIP! WHAT!) Raised in the dark with no sight of the sun! No education, no hand, no guide! (NO HELP!) Now I'm an adult with the damage inside! Three blind mice, see how they run! (YIP! WHAT!) Pay for the neglect when the childhood's done! [Outro] (Sample Chop: "See... how... they... run...") Class dismissed. Nobody passed.
