Caged

Duck. 2 shots just changed an entire atmosphere

People crying people lying breatheless. What happened here?

Did tragedy strike or was it just another test

Cause at the end of the night, 2 souls gone one laid to rest

The other in a cage, trapped like the animal they see him as

Straight to jail dont collect 2 hundred dollars we dont get a pass

But now its just to late, thats why i try to teach my brothers

Oh I hate him and he hates me.. but we look just like each other

Cause in the eyes of the law, theres only one real type of brother

The one that steals and kills his fellow man. We killin one another

What they need the klan for? Jim Crow? Who is that?

Bunch of blacks killin blacks. We dont need the klan for that

All Im saying is were caged and i dont just mean physically 

Im talking where it counts spiritually and mainly mentally

Stand up for something or your gonna fall through the crack

Cause once your caged your caged the systems working like a trap
