Suckers

There's a sucker born every day Many get taxed, few get paid Some don't last and some get saved But no one gets away Grab a hoodie, get a mask Stack a rack and pack a passport Stash it out back and bury it With a ghost gun and a black Jansport Secrets are only safe when The only one who knows that secret is you Don't make the mistake Thinking yours is the first snake-less brew The world don't give a fuck about your life Or what you're going through Decipher the gimmicks and the bullshit Quick fight or flight, stick and move Every human has a story sad enough To make us all cry So callous your heart as fast as you can Don't feed the strays and let them inside All things past a hill or wound It just takes time Don't stress on the past Or anything you can't see with the naked eye Bad cheating death, expected death To be collected The next second chance is our best happenstance Success is still too rare to match Well, I've got a plan to kill Anyone in the room before I start shaking hands Some lessons I learned in blood Other lessons are meant to just break a man Put the pieces together Even if the puzzle pieces never meant to meet each other Pay your debts, change your socks Dead or alive, you should have called your mother A seed's a small simple thing But eventually grows into a tree Some stand underneath a giant Another sharp 'em down so the village can eat A sucker born every day Many get taxed, few get paid Some get lost, some get saved Well, no one gets away Smile wide for that pig when he pulls you over Chuckle, relax, and be chummy if you're riding dirty No smoking and nose running Focus and take a deep breath So they never notice anything funny Rolling these dice every day We gotta make it some way Lying and promising to feed us cake Never trust what the royalties say Do not pop a trunk, make them read your rights Demand to speak to an attorney on sight Never admit guilt Because they will systematically make mountains out of molehills Sometimes they kill, fabricate, and trap Every year a thousand bodies are stacked up By those who claim to protect with a badge Hate the fact that some of these young cats Never had an OG that could have their back-, all bad They wanna put us in a cage To get paid for every case No matter the race That's it, take a bit before you snitch Don't set up for that weakness Life is a gamble Might as well take out the angles Before you're tangled Snakes always slitherin' up in the grass too If you don't watch your back, sometimes they blast you All I could do was share a bit of that truth
