Yeah

Rip that top soil up, level the pavement

This looks like a good supermarket placement

Direct deposits and bank statements

Either we're at work or at home in our containment

See, I been paying attention, we're only paying rent

A small space for a small time, it doesn't make sense

Who really cares what you own when you're gone?

Seems that working for retirement is all we've ever known

Looking for the finish line on the production line

And if you flatline, you'll be replaced in no time

My general foreman got murdered out here in broad day

Company ain't miss a beat, we punch the clock the same way

Human life is sacrifice for your nine to five

Exchange your time for the money

'Cause you need it to survive

It's a reward system hanging in the balance of hands

Just getting callouses, not intelligence or talent

They don't want that, they want your body and your energy

Profits for the industry, not profits for divinity

You're a code, a number, and nothing more

Bank accounts, social security and your credit score, and that's you

And that's the way it's going 'round here

Got our minds locked in down here

Only one way out that I found here

Look like we in the devil's playground here

All this COVID-19 and doing the right thing

When living the right way is becoming a pipe dream

We're decreasing our connections and increasing our confusion

For some reasons, we're assuming, all legitimately proving

We're just doin' what we're doing and changing everyday

All these little bits of freedom that we're quick to give away

Mom and dad ain't gonna protest

They just tryna go to bed at a decent hour

Go to work and get that daily bread

So, if the school's closed, what's the other option?

Homeschool the kids, so they can watch them

Lose that other income now, daddy pulling double shifts

So rely on the government, now you see where the trouble is?

And what's little Junior's education like?

Then they change math so much, momma gotta learn it like him

No social interactions or skill sets

Just months of preparation for test scores to reflect that

They're eligible to move on, who's next?

They want you to become a worker

'Cause a thinker is a threat

But the libraries keep closing, and that's a fact

So where are they gonna get the answers from?

Google that

And that's the way it's going 'round here

Got our minds locked in down here

Only one way out that I found here

Look like we in the devil's playground here

I'm here to tell you 'bout the devil

The devilish mighty dollar, man

We're breaking all our backs

For all to blue up on our collar

But for what now?

Neighbors sitting at home, and they don't want a fucking job

They're getting government chrome

I'm on my third tour off and I'm missin' the road

Sick of seeing this sinister shit that's being administered

It's a god damn shame seeing cities are split

We ain't got a damn clue if or when it'll end

Man, I fought for independence, every word and every sentence

Every move I ever made, they always label me a menace

So I'm right, never wrong with my middle finger high like

Fuck it, I'll probably catch Corona and die

But I'ma live life, I ain't afraid of the devil

I've spent my whole damn life being known as a rebel

You take your time off, I'll take the time to be better

See, I was raised to get it done, it never mattered the weather

Come on and rise up!

And that's the way it's going 'round here

Got our minds locked in down here

Only one way out that I found here

Look like we in the devil's playground here

And that's the way it's going 'round here

Got our minds locked in down here

Only one way out that I found here

Look like we in the devil's playground here

Look like we in the devil's playground here

Look like we in the devil's playground here

Look like we in the devil's playground here

Look like we in the devil's playground here
