Ain't no one who'll let you know when you're hanging loose But they'll tell you that it's for a cause and when your efforts don't cut it You failed your teachers and now you're saying "I can't make it anywhere by asking anyone, so it's only right if I could take a bigger Slice" But just so you know it's made to entice, it's by design And if you're looking for a free throw, you've got it made, now you're getting paid, and all For what? Making shit that you thought we'd need This momma's got mouths to feed, this architecture's giving me anxiety My entire life I was relieved of the need to reach for the stars so I became the one Whose job it was to clean the dust from those who scored from daddy's trust I've said too much but it's okay, privileged to work for you any day I hate the sound of chains that bind, so I taught myself to wrap that shit 'round my teeth And bite back. Hey, could you be a little clearer? Why can't you let us get ahead do you fear us? You call it reparations I call it empty gestures Now it's not enough Now it's not enough Why'd you give up on me Why would you give me up
