Broken System - Hip Hop Trap
Turn on the news,
same story again,
Different faces wearing different skin,
Promises made from a polished stage,
Then they disappear when they get paid.
(broken
system) Working all week,
still behind,
Trying to survive in a world gone blind,
They talk about hope,
they talk about change,
But somehow everything stays the same...
(broken system)
I've heard it all before,
A thousand times or more,
The truth gets buried under more noise,
While they're playing the games with people's lives...
(broken system)
The system is broken...
why would I ever vote for a lie?
Why would I trust another promise that they never keep They keep
on talking, and people believe in the lies broken system why would
I ever vote for a lie?
the rent's way too high,
everywhere...
Families struggling just to get by,
The rich get richer
And everybody's tired of the endless game...
(broken system)
They keep us angry,
they keep us divided
Left against right while they profit from us all...
people divided
is easy to rule,
That's the oldest trick in the book of fools.
(broken system)
I've seen enough to know,
How this movie always goes,
The same old script,
the same old lines,
The same old wolves in different disguises.
(broken system of lies)
The system is broken,
why would I ever vote for a lie?
left or right when they both wrong Why would I trust another
promise that's already died?
They keep on talking,
but we see through the lies again
broken system why would I ever vote...
for Either left or the right...
Maybe the answer starts with the truth,
Maybe the power belongs to the people Not the voices screaming out
loud. (broken system) see the lies again...we the people
Holding together what they let fall apart,
year after year we are
Still carrying hope inside our hearts.
Broken roads!
Broken lies we've always known!
Broken trust!
Broken faith!
How much more are we supposed to take?
(broken system)
The system is broken,
why would I ever vote for a lie?
I've been waiting for a reason,
still watching years go by.
Maybe someday we'll find a way to make things right,
But until then tell me,
why would I ever vote
for a lie? The system is broken,
but the people still survive,
Carrying the weight of every year Searching through from the liar's
(broken system) why would I ever vote for a lie?
The system is broken...
That's all known... Standing at the crossroads...
Trying to find a better way out...
The system is broken...
broken...
Why would I ever vote
for a lie...?
"No more lies... No more lies..."
