[Verse One] Change is jingling I want to rob but I'm mingling Single 'em, swindle 'em, swing on 'em I'm in the dark no utilities Plus the sheriff's at the front door trying to get a hand on me Kids in the back sleeping I'm in the dark scheming I'm with the black mask, thinking like I'm day dreaming Like I'm in a life raft and I'm sinking A minute lasts a lifetime and I ain't blinking Went from strong arm physical hustle To motivating the mouth piece, I'm special Anything I put pa**ion to
I'm like a rat in a jar as I pa** through you As a people, I know we hold each other back For myself, I know I hold myself in check And for the white folks, they know they did a n***a bad And for the government, they know they got a n***a dead [Hook] {x2} We living it raw Everyday life against the law We live in the moment, a paycheck away from homeless Why is it like that? I'm stressed out ready to fight back Robbing, stealing, k**ing, scheming
