The hell that I raise now, I break out my place now No fakin' my face now, I'm takin' my name now They greyed out, they gave doubt The pigs out, no bail out They made graves, but gave out A false hope, we pray 'bout This country of dreams, but weaved in the seams, a system that feeds On people that's seen oppression, that means, a pyramid scheme What's in it for me?
