myke charles - song of the caged lyrics

[intro:]

i been in this cage too long…
i been in this cage too long…

[verse 1:]

what happens when hard work doesn’t pay off?
and dreams don’t come true?
these things run through
a young n-gga conscious when i’m sipping on that hen
and get to flipping on that nonsense
riding ‘round the city throwed
wondering, if half my city know i’m ‘bout to blow
and set to take control like i just changed the f-cking channel on ‘em
in the four seasons no season four, they cancelled on ‘em
wonder why that flow got sicker i’m spitting cancer on ‘em
oh let me guess ho, now you interested?
saw me on tv now you texting and tryna kick it sh-t
back in high school i was ralph ellison -the invisible man
now i’m shining on ‘em thomas edison
it got evident that edifice being built
was bound to be a skyscr-per
i’m counting my paper
you see these rappers get real big like afros
then get it twisted like cornrows
and fade like they getting tapered, ugh

[hook:]
but i been in this cage too long
singing the same old song
and contemplating leaving my home
looking to the sky that’s where i belong

[verse 2:]

composing dreams
they tell me i’m supposed to dream
but this is bigger than them poster dreams
i’m losing faith in everything that was close to me
but still got optimism when little kids are approaching me
hoping things will work out
harboring these broken wings
my city shot me out the clouds
then held the rope to me
kept me in the shadows
until i lost hope in me
drugged me on their dope and told me nope you ain’t no dope emcee
no coat can coat the pain that’s painted
when the rain is soaking these
quotes i noted ain’t it tainted
hatred i can plainly see
my choice is hoisting chains and changing everything i know to be
enslaved inside a cage but on this stage i am broken free

ugh, ugh…

[hook] (x2)
