Locked in a confined space, but I ain't talking about a booth I'm talking bout a cell, like my life is in a prison No sun, no shine, everything is from a distance That's why I never seen it, That's why I don't believe it That's why minorities' is always f**in caught dreaming They titled us wrong, the white folks the real demons They don't want to see us raise, and that's a real reason Will I make it? I don't know For a dollar she gon blow Hungry, so we trying eat No silence in my sleep My cloths be real cheap Police tryna knock my speech So its time for me to leave Never f**in quit Chase what you were destined to be
