System

Roland Pemberton

Clerks say brother when they greet him
Dads talk jive when they meet him
Yeah, it's irritating but at least they're not hating
Like the cops every time that they see him
He's kicked outta stores like it's urgent
Even though a nigga just purchased
Old ladies clutchin they purses
When he walkin down the street, they get nervous
He just got a job in service
But the higher ups make him feel worthless
Sold the most jeans that the mall's ever seen
But they don't give a fuck how he's working
He goes to the club with his figures
All the white folks singing out nigga
Came to get saved by the rhythm
Now he's feeling like a slave to the system

I been, I been goin' hard
Tryin' get up off the wall
Won't let my cup hit the bottom
This is a night forevermore
We're reborn in the night right now
So let's soar right now
Before we have to come right down
Right down

She's filled with drive and ambition
But her boss don't really wanna listen
She ask for a better position
He ask when she gonna have children
12 hour days got her stressing
He checks her out when she ask questions
Parents sending hostile texts
Student loan debt putting pressure
She ask boyfriend for reaction
He act like the shit never happened
She ask him to pay more attention
He say he need to focus on his rapping
She goes to the club with her girlfriends
Fuccbois come around lurking
Came to get saved by the rhythm
Now she's feeling all trapped in the system

I been, I been goin' hard
Tryin' get up off the wall
Won't let my cup hit the bottom
This is a night forevermore
We're reborn in the night right now
So let's soar right now
Before we have to come right down
Right down

We're reborn in the night right now
Let's just soar right now
Before we have to come right down
Right down

Shine your light (when you feel you can't see)
You're my light (when I think I can't breathe)
Shine your light (when you just wanna leave)
You're my light (you're the one that I need)

The whole idea of trying to do something just
'cause it's successful somewhere else is kinda silly to me
I try to just be myself. And I guess this is it
