sneakzs reyna - #schoolsnotprisons كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1: sneakzs reyna]
see when you live in america it just holds you back
every day of yo’ life
even it’s claiming it’s trying to help you find your purpose
instead i feel i’m a p-wn to these devilish games
i can’t keep stressing and stating everything on my mind
seems like these thoughts aren’t mine
being token-ized for profit, to my youth hold on
yeah we all go through sh-t guarantee we won’t slip
so when they try to give you time behind bars don’t forget
the system ain’t sh-t it’s built and equipped
to rip families apart and keep our cultures stripped
since the days i was a kid i been gettin’ suspended from school
so i knew back then this sh-t was a trick
only keep the ones that make ’em look good and it sucks
if you ain’t a commodity to yo’ school good luck ’cause we all f-cked
fusd ain’t been puttin’ up enough bucks
to keep our young ones stuck in these books
it’s a shame how they took my friend way back then
in second grade at age eight threw his -ss in a cage
swear i’ve seen him in and out of the pen for so long
it’s so wrong it seems my dog can’t get a break
and i pray to this day that he safe and he make
something great of himself and he don’t die in vain
’cause it’s hard to generate positivity
when everybody got you feeling like you a mistake
so how long will it take
before the school board can’t ignore what we say
and take our futures as serious as they bank account
i’m just sayin’ we all think about it
drop my nephew off at school i hope he make it up out it
i’m from the bottom where they act like you deserve what you get
like we deserve to starve ’cause being poor is the sh-t
i’m just saying we ain’t playing no games with these mother f-ckers
on the real, this sh-t is sick how education gets stripped

[chorus:]
and i say
we need to fight for our souls
(they lockin’ us up my friend)
they hittin’ harder now with every blow
(they lockin’ us up again)
they hold us back with every chance to uphold
(they lockin’ us up my friend)
lock us up and expect us to believe what is told
(they lockin’ us up again)

so this is what they want
(they lockin’ us up my friend)
a healthy dose of population control
(they lockin’ us up again)
it won’t stop until they murder us all
(they lockin’ us up my friend)
divide and conquer a generation and make it dissolve
(they lockin’ us up again)

[verse 2: equipto]
check
while you define crooks and criminals
we set fire to textbooks and middle schools
inst-tutions were built to belittle you
an ex-con get refused for an interview again
you left in a trap that’s designed
to occupy thoughts and distract the mind from a vision
and you ain’t tryna listen to the subject
when teachers and staffs not considered in the budget
(and now they gon’ cut it)
so now we gotta find time to understand
the school to prison pipeline
little children are treated like slaves
because they couldn’t behave or p-ss the grade
that’s what they say, another long lecture
they go to cl-ss, p-ss through a metal detector
the police in the halls cause tension
you mess up go to jail not detention
or get sentenced time up in prison
and property has had to turn into a business
kids is brainwashed with the stars and stripes
confined and behind those bars for life
see it’s sad but that’s the american way
it’s the land of the greed
the home of the slave
today it’s the same hate deep in this nation
they don’t want to see us with an education

[verse 3: sneakzs reyna]
see i’ve seen way too many of my kind get tried on trial
and find themselves right behind doing time
never were we given a sign
they lock us up and forget us and strip away at the mind
feed us nothing but lies telling us if we strive
to be great we can but they hold us back every time
while our mama’s stay cryin’ praying that we survive
saying if we don’t obey then it’s a federal crime
i ain’t settling for nothing less than excellence i’m
the next in the line to get thrown in a prison if i decide
i ain’t tryna live my life the way you design
that’s why you taking every chance you get to try to confine
every one of our lives steppin’ on us tryna get by
you the ones who supply drugs to every side
tryna chase away and stripping us all of our rights
love to see us up but we ain’t stopping the fight
so i continue to write for every kid who has died
who’s lives been pried away and gotten kicked to the side
everyone whose educations gotten stripped up and dried
thrown inside a prison cause they demonizing our grind
every family whose unhappily forced to decide
to bury they child and never get to see them alive
sh-t is twisted the system of lady liberties blind
it’s the result of everybody going eye for an eye

[outro:]
they lockin’ us up my friend
they lockin’ us up again
they lockin’ us up my friend
they lockin’ us up again
they lockin’ us up my friend
they lockin’ us up again
they lockin’ us up my friend
they lockin’ us up again
