The System

[Verse 1: James Franken]

We was puffin' the reefa, bumpin' the speakers

'Til the jake stopped, race started, pumpin' my sneakers

It was late, so I ain't wanna get caught up, wit the coppas

And I ain't tryna see curfew so it's fuck the polices

I trust in my leader, ain't god, it's my vision man

So I started hoppin' fences runnin' into thangs

Just to think, this is all over somebody else's dividends

If I ain't pick up either I wouldn't be in this business, man

I lost a lotta breath, stopped so I could rest

Saw the flood light from across the other fence

Got under a porch just so I could spark this cigarette

While cops circle the block 'cause they cause a lotta stress

And its hot up in this nest, I'll probably endeavor a lotta pressure

Whatever cause I'mrey lost and it's what's best

I gotta find myself, eventually I'll end up findin' death

And I bet, that I'ma see time before I lie in rest, s'why I pray?


[Chorus: ?henom]

And I pray, and I pray, and I pray, and I'm prey

Thinkin' I'm fallin' victim to the system err'day

Don't get me wrong man, 'cause I love the USA

But I hate Red, White and Blue, 'cause it means they're on the way

And I pray, and I pray, and I pray, and I'm prey

Thinkin' I'm fallin' victim to the system err'day

Don't get me wrong man, 'cause I love the USA

But I hate Red, White and Blue, 'cause it means they're on the way


[Verse 2: ?henom]

Popo on my tip, hop the locomotive

Solo local rollin' from the pigs with hopes of goin' global

Let my vocal lava drip, posted like a package

On the avenue, runnin' gambits but gotta keep my wits

'Cause a hungry fiend and under-covers seem to be a team

Seasoned with schemes, never dealt heaters, keep it clean

Got a better sight in the dead of nights

Sensin' red and white Like confederate flags, don't get tagged with a crime

Riding behind the bacon is basically bad enough

'Specially if those felonies are steady addin' up

I got the raddest luck, pray I don't get caught up in the moment

'Cause mama might wanna move me from from the C like she Moses

And the C is where my homies, hoes and mostly where my home is

I know I need to lay lower but lately I slang to stoners

And I blow up, stow my fuckin' dough in the socks

'Cause if the cops come they'll wonder where I'm gettin' the guap

'Cause I ain't fuckin' with THE system, the jury hates the TC

Even god as my witness, they still is givin' me fifty to life

And that's just fucked up, youngin' tryna make a come up

Run up showin' their gunners, surrender, and lie in gutters

Made a promise to mother, never be caught in cells

Lately I'm realizin' that I've been closer to hell

And even though the 5-0 no longer catchin' me smell

They still try to catch me slippin' with intention to sell, might as well


[Chorus: ?henom]

And I pray, and I pray, and I pray, and I'm prey

Thinkin' I'm fallin' victim to the system err'day

Don't get me wrong man, 'cause I love the USA

But I hate Red, White and Blue, 'cause it means they're on the way

And I pray, and I pray, and I pray, and I'm prey

Thinkin' I'm fallin' victim to the system err'day

Don't get me wrong man, 'cause I love the USA

But I hate Red, White and Blue, 'cause it means they're on the way

[Outro: James Franken & ?henom, James Franken & ?henom]

And I pray, and I pray, and I pray, and I pray

And I pray, and I pray, and I pray, and I pray

And I pray, and I pray, and I pray, and I pray

And I pray, and I pray, and I pray, and I pray

And they prey, and they prey, and they prey, and they prey, and they prey

These muthafuckas cray man, we the predators

Man, Fuck the motherfuckin' system man, FUCK the system
