Who are the two percent or so that our milk and honey mostly flows to?
Ain't the owner who sold you your cold brew
Cigarettes, soda, or fried dishes
Pawns in pyramid cons by corporations caking off our afflictions
A, war of attrition, on those in the poorest conditions
Face down on the floor in submission
Placed there in a forced position, or prostrate
Praying that the Lord shall reward conviction
While influential temple tricksters, bend scriptures
Perverting their faith for personal gain, deserving disdain
Hawking holy handkerchiefs, vials of water claiming
Your miracle's on its way once your donation is
Believers pray torn, saying "Lord, is this the
Reason I was made for?" while people wage wars
We still extend a hand in love, sitting lambs
Just waiting to be taken advantage of
Prey
They'll plot our fates, then watch and wait
A game where the parts we play are of pawns and prey
They'll plot our fates, then watch and wait
A game where the parts we play are of pawns and prey
American nightmare, sleepwalk the horrors of
Never being the lender, always the borrower
Pay day advances, property loans
rent to own and visa deceives us
As lines of credit we're given aren't in our best interest
Soon as inflated rates hit, we bled instant
Bootstraps we're sold and we're told to pull up by
A few rough tugs cause webbing to unbind
Fed lies, partisan politics
Swallow fear mongering spread by talking head accomplices in
Calculated debates, hot take appetizers
For ratings that'll satiate advertisers
Co-conspiring alliances deciding who we're siding with
Empires relying on biases that are dividing us
Discussions erupting into arguments we must win
Gaining us nothing, suckers and puppets
Prey
They'll plot our fates, then watch and wait
A game where the parts we play are of pawns and prey
They'll plot our fates, then watch and wait
A game where the parts we play are of pawns and prey
Pray
We pray
But are we prey?
Oh why
Super predators, tyrants, licensed with benefit
Of the doubt, so aggressively pounce
And harass with slave catcher team tactics
Gaslighting inciting a scene tragic
Trigger pull point blank like it's accuracy practice
Phone footage explicitly graphic we'll hashtag it
Essentially spreading snuff porn, Faces of Death
Showcasing questionable de-escalation attempts
Irrefutable evidence typically nets at best
Admissions of negligence, civil suit settlements
So how can it be deemed unreasonable
To flee off impulse, when seeing their patrol vehicles
Collect the herd with the intent to hurt
Suppress the dirt when an offense occurs
Protect and serve the interests, of the chattel system
For which they work, in their relentless search for
Prey
They'll plot our fates, then watch and wait
A game where the parts we play are of pawns and prey
They'll plot our fates, then watch and wait
A game where the parts we play are of pawns and prey
