Lost
Lost
Lost
Yeah
I was picked up at night
Different home the same night
Crying till the daylight
Lost in the System
County cars the next day
Almost ran away
Metro to VA
Lost in the System
Seen so many deadbeats
Neglect on they own seeds
Grab a switch you get beat
Lost in the System
No food in the pantries
Can't see my own family
Had to hide that candy
Lost in the System
See our youth are lost
But at what cost?
Forced into the jaws of the system
And no one will listen
Black boy forced to be Christian
And to rock Lacoste
No shoes just Docks
Buzz cut no Locks
And to top it off
Judge denied visitation
Just to get his rocks off
Man I'm pissed off
Bouta blow the block off
Tired of faking happiness
Can't feel love
I feel the stress
Above it all can't be my best
Stomach full
I'm caring less
My young mind
Getting stretched
Feel like a monster
Lochness
No emotion feeling
Hopeless
I was picked up at night
Different home the same night
Crying till the daylight
Lost in the System
County cars the next day
Almost ran away
Metro to VA
Lost in the System
The System is blind
To the youth they confine
Young prisoners by design
No stability leads to a life of crime
This is war on the mind
They got PTSD
But to the SYSTEM they're fine
Can't you see the SIGNS?
Can't you see the SIGNS?
Can't you see the SIGNS?
