Tricked

Trick, trick, trick
 It's a trick, trick, trick
 We've been tricked, it's a trick
 Trick, we've been tricked
 Tricked into thinking we need that, we need this
 Tricked into thinkin' since we rap, we get rich
 Trick, trick, my nigga, it's a trick
 Trick, trick, it's a trick, we've been tricked
 Into thinkin' that the art is a pie to be split
 My nigga that's a farce, it's a lie, we've been tricked
 If you can name a record label guy takin' risks
 Then I can name a misdirected guy that's been tricked
 Tricked, this is why I don't fuck with them
 Only thing they takin' is your publishin'
 Watch you make mistakes in the court of public sin
 Got you concentratin' on hittin' the club, gettin' spins
 Ballin' off of your budget, that's at your expense
 Your A&R spendin' five, they deductin' ten
 Trick, trick
 Trick, we've been tricked
 Trick, it's a trick
 My nigga it's a trick
 Tricked into thinkin' we need them to exist
 Tricked into thinkin' that my sister is a bitch
 Thinkin' that I can kiss these random bitches on the lips
 Thinkin' that my health is not an issue 'til I'm sick
 Forever havin' issues with my brother, that's a trick
 Because we Crips and Bloods we kill each other, that's a trick
 Think because you do crime that you cannot fall victim
 Think you can drink and drive, not end up in car collision
 From day one at the hospital they target our children
 Say they gonna immunize 'em they somehow get autism
 Incriminate myself on records speakin' on my life
 Expect to receive blessings out here cheatin' on my wife
 Trick, trick, it's a trick
 We've been tricked
 Trick, trick
 My nigga you've been tricked
 ♪
 The owners of them prisons are magicians, that's a trick
 Voila, disappearin' in the system, that's a trick
 Trick, trick, my nigga we've been tricked
 Trick, trick, my nigga, that's a trick
 The pen is a black magic hat, that's a trick
 Pull your rabbit ass out and put you back, that's a trick
 Thinkin' it's a right of passage for a black male
 Ain't a real nigga 'til you enter that jail
 It's a trick, it's a spell
 You're bewitched, it's a L
 You're bigger than that prison like Mandela in the cell
 Made you fall in love with sittin' in a prison room
 Then swept you under the rug, with the wicked witch's broom
 What about your son sittin' in your bitches womb?
 Without you he's a thug, prison business just resumes
 Trick, trick, my nigga, it's a trick
 Trick, trick, we've been tricked, it's a trick
 Them 360 deals got 'em livin' in your pockets
 Now everything you gross is hittin' different than your profits
 Thinkin' you the man 'cause you made a million dollars
 They wave a magic wand, Uncle Sam fill his wallets
 Trick, trick, my nigga, you've been tricked
 Trick, trick, it's a trick, we've been tricked
 Trick, trick, my nigga, you've been tricked
 Trick, trick, my nigga, you've been tricked
 Tricked into thinkin' your amendments really matter
 The right to bear arms was only made for Grizzly Adams
 Trick, trick, my nigga you've been tricked
 Trick, trick, we've been tricked, it's a trick
 Thinkin' your degree will have everything protected
 A ghetto soundin' name, got your resume rejected
 And politicians lie, got their clever ways perfected
 'Cause puppet masters still control whoever they elected
 Trick, trick, my nigga-
