Lyrics Trapped in the System - Carrio Xanders

Look, check this
For some of us, luxury is too big of a luxury to have
Don't blame me though, blame the system that broke me
Uh, yeah

They put a label on us, call us names
But they're the ones who really need to take the blame
I'm just saying we're trapped in the system
All I'm saying is we're trapped in the system
They put a label on us, call us names
But they're the ones who really need to take the blame
I'm just saying we're trapped in the system
All I'm saying is we're trapped in the system

Where I come from we don't tote guns, but they make it seem like we're all cons
Make it look like we're all dumb, but we're Chiefs and Kings, we're Shoguns
Ready for war, go get what is yours, that nigga caught with the mash on the estate
Could have been a successful entrepreneur, but the provocateur
Got him ten-toesing, now he's left open, swimming through all this red ocean
Product of my environment, luxury of no entitlement
Fisherman on a foreign soil and all I did was let the pirates in
Get out of my sight, tell me what you know about rights
They couldn't even let me say goodbye when they took me from my wife
Payback is a slag, but I wonder where she at
And violence only gets nicked when it walks around in black
Mother grieving for the fate of her youngest son
Who knew he'd be caught up in the streets like his older bruv
And he's just thinking he's looking out for his family
Cause Papa walked away since he was six and lost his sanity
So don't you wonder why a rebel don't take instructions from a pharisee

They put a label on us, call us names
But they're the ones who really need to take the blame
I'm just saying we're trapped in the system
All I'm saying is we're trapped in the system
They put a label on us, call us names
But they're the ones who really need to take the blame
I'm just saying we're trapped in the system
All I'm saying is we're trapped in the system

I wear my heart on my sleeves, live according to the jungle rules
But y'all don't know nobody wins when the jungle rules
Cause if you knew, you'd be working on your jungle moves
And not get down in the grime based on jungle rules
When the mandem step in the place, everybody go berserk
When you come off on these roads, you know exactly where to put in work
We're invincible, we're originals, but they make it look like we're cursed
Got my demons just like you got yours, don't paint me terribly worse
On the backs of my people you built your kingdom
Then oppress and suppress, robbed us of our vision
And fed our descendants lies, told them it's panini
Locked the truth away as if it never existed
Wait for the moment when you stand 'fore the gates and then get judged too
Now's not the moment when you find someone to threaten with a lawsuit
You could never beat the odds like I do, cause it's rarely a matter of IQ
The system got us tripping, fight till we're bleeding, blood in my vision like a Piru

They put a label on us, call us names
But they're the ones who really need to take the blame
I'm just saying we're trapped in the system
All I'm saying is we're trapped in the system
They put a label on us, call us names
But they're the ones who really need to take the blame
I'm just saying we're trapped in the system
All I'm saying is we're trapped in the system
