Eli Brown - Trapped Life Lyrics

It's a trapped life everything ain't what it seems
Behind the scenes it's another life
We see the matrix and the other side is hidden
Look so good but it still got me wondering

Why are we born in the first place
If we gotta go so soon to this other place
And why they call it heaven when you're laying in the dirt
Six feet deep under next door to hell yo

They hit us with democracy and citizenship
So they can watch us through the third eye and brainwash us
Playing tricks on us like you are a free being
But the truth is you are a slave as long as you breath

We live a jungle life but it smells like a farm
With all these pigs and their stench man I hate em all
I swear I hate em all
And if you want me you know where to find me

A never mind what you see with your eye it's a trapped life
Survival of the fitted in this world it's a trapped life
Ay I thought I told you it's a trapped life
View it how you want it fact remains it's a trapped life

Soul trapped inside a body body trapped inside a system
System trapping blacks in the ghetto
The ghetto send em to the pen
Now your trapped like an animal inside a cell with nowhere to go

A peep how they work together to destroy families
Causing so much pain just for the money
Let's keep em at the bottom with no food
Let's make em homeless in the streets begging for the money

Let's give em drugs to sell then lock em up for selling them
It's a win win
We take the drugs and we sell them to them once again
And then another again

Swear it's a poet trapped inside me trying to get free
Brakes lose from time to time with a pin and a pad
Don't write everyday
But when I do write my thoughts attack me like a drunk attack his wife yo

A never mind what you see with your eye it's a trapped life
Survival of the fitted in this world it's a trapped life
Ay I thought I told you it's a trapped life
View it how you want it fact remains it's a trapped life

Trapped life
Trapped life
Trapped life
Trapped life
