Caught Up

Don’t get caught up with the madness Stay anti, so you don’t have to deal with sadness Politicians make us victims of the system Trick us to love them, that’s why I don’t hear them or listen There always hating on our history Buy a spray can and go decorate your history If you’ve never shopped or brought anything with pennies, you don’t know about struggle People think life’s a joke, until they get into trouble Do what you gotta do, hustle and juggle Don’t play with people’s lives like a pack of cards Live on the str8 and narrow, don’t wanna end up behind bars Brother’s out here will buy a belt which cost a bill Knowing that they gotta pay the gas and light bill Realizing that their broke, I’d rather pay £10 for one and have £90 in my pocket Had enough money left to buy Air Forces, I’m thankful I coped It All now I don’t know how people still brag and floss I’d rather stay low key, bag up the success and be my own boss Be careful what you sell, make sure it’s not your soul Don’t get gassed by the lime light, have your spirit and stay in control I’d rather have a ghetto romance with a humble hunny Then pick up an upper class girl just for the money I’m tryna find the best way to seize the day Carpe diem, translate the ting to ease my pain.
