about

Icky's thoughts about the injustice they faced before being imprisoned

lyrics

can't breathe
This choke hold it two fold so i ain't free they hold shots
Crooked cops courts and fees
It's fright night fight club like its a double fee-ture no future
Just puffed eye and sutures
My souls on empty
It's hard to hide life scars and blemish um lumped rocky Dennis
No trump cards but trumps is spittin. Vitriol disguised as Kavanaugh and good dweeecisions
Murcia gets white again 1800's
Black flight again my kin skinned and a light again alight again
I'm choking on my tears
Anger in my ears
strangers in the midst
Sun kissed fruit reminisce Willy lynch


And you can catch em in 4K killing in a deeper resolution but there is no justice in equal distributions
Systematic retribution sacred hate from institutions made to incarcerate my person
Bonds that yield a yearly distribution
And I blame you niggas
Near every college park
Never biting and you hardly bark
Ya paid into my anguish
Forsaking all your coded language
For a collar so distinguished
That it asphyxiates the sacred
For a dollar in ya pocket
You initiate exchanges
So it's a soul for a pound
A blind eye for a ballot
Pillage for positions of perceived power plus you pimp out the impoverished
To supplement you income revenue streams flowing free full of blood and dreams never established
Tell me to never buck the system
Never fight just yield

I'm sick and tired and I'm fed up
Seems like the system been set up for we
I think that you'll all agree
I'm sick and I'm tired and I'm fed up
Seems like the system been set up
So we bleed
I think you will all agree.
