SOVA SIX - PAUSE FREESTYLE Lyrics

Slow down put your life on pause
Live your life in the moment can't rewind when it's gone
Living in the matrix is complicated the system is wrong
I know them food stamps and that section eight can be hard
But you gotta know that you'll make it you can figure it out
Don't let them problems that you're facing spin a web in your thoughts
These demons are so invasive my niggas stuck in a drought
Feels like we're caught inside a maze that we could never get out
And when them problems get real we turn to popping them pills
Crack another bottle of Hennessy or crack a seal
Why do we roll blunts up when we can't pay the bills
Getting so f*cked up instead of making ideas
They got us so f*cked up that we lost ourselves
They got us so f*cked up that we lost ourselves
Yeah we came here slaves and we're still slaves
They keep you niggas in the kitchen for that minimum wage
They knew you wanted that position but they gave it to Dave
They got us caught inside a system with some paper to chase
And even if you get that paper ain't no difference is made
Because you still don't get respect when they look in your face
Not saying all of em evil not saying all of em hate
But there's enough of them to outnumber the ones that ain't
Now that's a valid reason and a valid excuse
But really your life can be the pathway that you choose
Either you don't or you do
Either you stop or you move
Either you're eating or you're out there broke and starving for food
Either you got no ambition just smoking dope with the crew
Or you're out plotting your vision and you're obtaining the loot
Yeah you can read and you write
You won't get lynched for that in the middle of the night
You ain't getting whipped til skin peels from your thighs
They want you to forget what happened acting like it's a lie
They give you niggas one month and that shit is a joke
That doesn't add up to generations that carried the yolk
They used to chase us down bloodhounds kill us for sport
Meanwhile a nigga with a gun goes to federal court
Motherf*ckers never loved us but some of em do
That's why we're still up on the stage entertaining some dudes
Like we're standing on an auction block
Rusty chains and locks
Have they sealed our fate
Are we giving up
We can't ever stop
No we came too far
I understand the rage that fills you when resisting cops
But Zachary and Damon will kill you if you don't stop
As a culture rearrange and realign your thoughts
Move calculated check your angles are you thinking smart
Or basing moves off your emotions cause I know you are
Yeah there's a time to sit still there's a time to rise up and there's a time meant to kill
There's a time to Rosa Parks and a time meant to live
But I still wanna rage for how they did Emmett Till
I wish we could have peace understanding and love
I wanna see us succeed and build one another up
But with the way that things been going seem this country is f*cked
Honestly it's beyond the borders it's ingrained in our blood
The money keep on growing shorter and the prices go up
They wanna see us kill each other when we fight in our blood
But I don't wanna kill my brother cause I'm feeling the love
They got us out here killing one another over some dubs
They wanna give us life in prison for a couple of drugs
They hate to see a nigga winning getting it out the mud
I guess you get in where you get in or don't get in at all
I hope you niggas really listen and you take it to heart
