Wicked
This world is wicked, the system is crooked.
Nobody wanna talk about how suicides been committed, how people on the streets stay trapped and addicted, or how innocent folks get convicted
for things they never did.
We spend our whole life going to school, trying to be "successful," but nothing they taught me ever felt helpful.
Half the stuff they drilled in our brains felt heavy, felt resentful.
I'm starting to think this whole system
was made for white people.
If I can't understand
what's going on in grade school, I might as well break the rules-the mind of a fool.
It might come off cruel, but I'm just trying to figure out what it even means to live.
