The result of logic and hope Is akin to the percent of those who make it out the ghetto without getting hooked on dope Is lowkey a joke When you're raised at the bottom You know there's nobody down there just dolling out helping hands So what else is a victim to do but turn villain and give into society demands Many try But if a man can't see a path for his own potential to be fulfilled, how do you expect his faith to survive, let alone thrive? Life used to be a board game Now its a socially engineered maze that takes an array of chess moves just to buy-in And the crime is for certain groups making it out isn't an option so the game becomes rigged with all too familiar conclusions Young promiscuous masculine ego driven women give babies to young emotional juveniles males who in many cases become convicted men convinced they can be good institutionalized dads all while reaching his now juvenile son from behind that glass Delusions have some of us thinking we can see the forest from the trees But as within so without And so as long as you remain a slave to your thoughts chances are so will your seed A picture is worth a thousand words But if EBT and genocide is all these babies see What else you think they gon' grow up to be?

The Maze
The result of logic and hope Is akin to the percent of those who make it out the ghetto without getting hooked on dope Is lowkey a joke When you're raised at the bottom You know there's nobody down there just dolling out helping hands So what else is a victim to do but turn villain and give into society demands Many try But if a man can't see a path for his own potential to be fulfilled, how do you expect his faith to survive, let alone thrive? Life used to be a board game Now its a socially engineered maze that takes an array of chess moves just to buy-in And the crime is for certain groups making it out isn't an option so the game becomes rigged with all too familiar conclusions Young promiscuous masculine ego driven women give babies to young emotional juveniles males who in many cases become convicted men convinced they can be good institutionalized dads all while reaching his now juvenile son from behind that glass Delusions have some of us thinking we can see the forest from the trees But as within so without And so as long as you remain a slave to your thoughts chances are so will your seed A picture is worth a thousand words But if EBT and genocide is all these babies see What else you think they gon' grow up to be?
