Deacon the Villain - Allegiance lyrics

[Intro: Cecil Gardner] Look on the news, nothing but lies, maybe lies mixed with a little bit of truth you know but that's how sh** is. You gotta see above that sh** instead of looking dead at that sh**. It's the life we live, the land we live in [Verse 1: Cecil Gardner] Started in grade school Feeding young n***as education as fake food was they tool Turn n***as to straight fools Put us in positions where they teach us to break rules Views center under definitions of state rules Give you one shot in life, never a take two Give us they news while they tell us to stay tuned And in the meantime we gotta focus and make moves It's a hard knock and when you factor in hate too You understand the barriers that seldom we break through But why us, deny us the simple freedom to rise up God or the dollar bill I'm ‘spose to give my trust In a state of confusion Now I'm stuck in state court prosecutor accusing Using the fact I was moving to move ‘em, the judge that is But they don't understand the movement (true sh**) Who snitched? You, b**h? ‘Cause on me them pants come very loose fit See I am a virgin but you get f**ed by p**y with loose lips ‘Cause n***as can't handle the burden Back to the courtroom sweating and nervous Waiting on your honor here to give me a verdict He look me in my eyes asked me, “was it worth it?” My reply, “in life sir nobody's perfect All I ask is the chances to show my purpose And to show this courtroom this black man ain't worthless” I'm praying hoping he don't Jackson like Curtis With a fake grin for your years of service [Hook: Cecil Gardner] They told me to pledge my allegiance I told ‘em to s** my indecent proposal Suppose you told whoever knows you no truth Backstabbed whoever knows you [Verse 2: Natti] My middle finger stands firm as the system that gets it May they all lounge with Lucifer this instant Welfare is the opposite of what I see depicted They brought it like crack and now the hood's addicted Mom as on backs and daddy is out pitching He goes legit moves in they going to evict them Divide and conquer sons without fathers Surviving Contra guns without armor Black white brown from lower to middle cla** Politicians need votes they speak for the little man Election over they forgetting your little a** from housing collapse To the jobs that we lack f**ing off funds we earned off our backs Seizing millions in drug money where do they put that Not in education, not in medication They led us into flames so why they leading the nation [Hook]
