Hasan Salaam - Caged Freedom lyrics

[Verse 1 - Sicknature] Freedom is an illusion, from the minute we hatch, we live in a trap Imprisoned by interest, tax and debt extending the gap Between the rich and the poor, while the broke are stuck with their baggage sh**ty Visas get maxed out from botox and plastic titties The value of a purchase is promptly diminished Prices are skyrocketing while the pockets are thinning Created incidents affect the public opinions That count for nothing, really, we just think that someone will listen The lower cla** is breaking backs, to increase the economy Human batteries keep competing and feed the plutonomy Debt is immense, when spending is sort of on snooze It´s a hard knock life, while more war bucks are pursued And more inflation is created, made for corporate reasons This is s**omnia, we´re getting f**ed while we´re sleeping And while we´re busy making ends meet and praying for breakevens We face another day in the shape of a caged freedom [Hook - Sicknature] Hamsterwheel runs, racing with haste For credits that feed the system At the end of the day Its all about the f**ing paper we chase The paper we chase To buy the same freedom that will pay for the cage (2x) [Verse 2 - Hasan Salaam] Another night without sleeping, nother day without eating Tryna build up the savings so I could buy without leasing My debt been increasing and its due by the 8th So when them bill collectors call I'm like "No Habla Ingles" Everything is out of place, FEDs will build a RICO case Over mix tapes like I'm pushing weight out of state Keep some change in a safe and a stash under the mattress Only render to Caesar's what they could cease for the taxes Let me explain if you need it broke down Couple years wiser lotta more know how Pigs get me cornered I ain't never gon' back down Go out with a bang like Jomo & the Mau Mau's Terrestrial flow sh** belong in the X-Files 80's baby raised on Reaganomics & crack viles Problem child I make Mama so proud now Born to move the crowd direct descendant of Wild Style [Hook]
