tommy-g (ffmg) – the world we live in lyrics

verse (tommy-g)
i’m the only kid with bars who still raps from the heart
this is deeper than beats with a mustard tag at the start
in life they say that you lose and you win
caught up in a vicious cycle in the world as it spins
on the constant were always promised the illusion of change
then they put a mirror and tell you are to blame
its the same north west south & east
people living by any means they got mouths to feed
prost-tution or dealing crack & then and the drugs
this a bi product of a world lacking in love
i’ve had enough music like this won’t make it past nine hundred views
but they’ll show isis beheadings live on the news
and we sit and discuss with skeptism and cynicism
and sit the kids down and they watch the violence on the television
now the kids grow up estranged to humanity
so imp hoping and imp searching for a trace of some sanity
i can’t find any there’s none at all
they employ crooked cops to enforce the law
a generation of kids afraid to go out after sun down
ever since trayvon & mike brown got gunned down
voices in my head screaming i can’t breathe
as i watch eric garner get choked on his hands and knees
god i can’t believe we were built in the image that you set
cause i know people sinning for a way to gain respect
to get beside ye ill havta rap like ye
cause these old folks talking bout back in my day
this the new world with a whole list of new rules
they giving you all these test after they dumb you down in school
leaving cert got em stressed rolling joints puffing vapor
cause the say we defined by the points on the paper
the truth hurts so ill take this burn
the curriculum and system wasn’t set for you to learn
so shout out to the teachers trying to make a difference
to these kids who grew up without birthday and christmas presents
cause dads not around out gallivanting on the town
sees liquor drinks down walking round like he’s proud
stumbles into his daughters room tells her not to make a sound
mom intervenes now they rolling on the ground
he pulls a knife and claims she’ll get her neck slit
turns around abuses his daughter slaps his wife and then he splits
i’m sick to my stomach imp coughing and imp choking
guards say the woman might’ve done something to provoke this
are you joking what you smoking go out there and catch him
he got away what’s your excuse sh-t happens
but then they finally get him and he’s locked away
for how long imp shocked to say
as he walks through the gates in the prison doors
he set to do eight but will probably get out after four
never mind that maybe imp letting this get too much of me
then my man said some sh-t that actually kinda did stick with me
he said you speak the truth and you’ll never run
how does it feel to promote change that you know will never come?
you up there preaching like you know this sh-t will happen
like dreams come true bro well your dream hasn’t
rapping? who do you think you are? hov? some veteran?
trying to be deep? who are you? j. cole on letterman?
the truth is the game is full of the fakes
bunch wanna be kendrick’s or wanna be drakes
for goodness sake you wandering in a jungle that’s full snakes
let me get this straight your gonna make money accept your fate
i froze now those thoughts drive me insane
and now i overthink when the words align on the page
so i put the pen down and call me girl right quick
cause maybe i’m not built to make it in a world like this

hook (trevor jay)
some things
can make you feel like you’re in the league
where no one gets crowned just defeated
but we all want the same things
but that’s what you get in this world we live in
