Privilege - Slaughterhouse lyrics

[Verse 1: Privilege] Under the dark of night the cover of silence Some mother tuckers her kids up under the covers To shield their eyes from the blinding light Crashing through their windows Shrapnel pa**ing through their system Asking why is irrelevant when it's smart bombs Intelligence rat, zeroes in on your welcome mat Cul-de-sac helter skelter Bomb shelter fall to the ground Screams abound Cries from listless little children loud as grown men and women If you listen its indecipherable If his mission on the mic why he pissing into the tide pool? If his intention not to fight well then why did he bring the rifle? This life we struggle with, these stresses on the daily Similarly, internally question ourselves the same way Why you start off with a gram, turn it into a day? Why you let weekend slip away? Why Uncle Sam always take so much of my pay? Why did Elle Driver k** Pai Mei?

Trust me that Uzi weigh a ton Play it again Sam, only this time make it look like you having fun The great pretenders - ice grill - new blackface So long as those teeth showing Big spenders with mills in the briefcase, co*ktails by the ocean Models legs open The American dream written in stifling tenements by flicking florescent lights Desperately hoping to escape this life The words spoken into crackling mics B.M.W. sitting on the biggest kicks Every black man's wish personified escape the lead paint and nightsticks In the dark, searching for that light switch It's just a mask we wearing Well, cause round here you either cry or you laugh And we laughing
