I've been thinking 'bout turning myself in for a free meal
Fighting for freedom here in the land of the plea deal
Let's be real
Is this really free will?
Are we really free?
'Cause I been thinking bout turning myself in for a free meal
Fighting for freedom here in the land of the plea deal
Let's be real
Is this free will?
Was it ever tho?

Man, looking back, I wish that I never trapped
Before I got dirty money, man, I ain't know what I lacked
I got a taste, then got fucked out a rack
And every dollar I made, I spent on another pack
I learned niggas is snakes, pussies and rats
Addicted to cheap thrills, and painkillers to match
Turn away from their demons, when they're just letting it stack
But it all comes circling back, ain't that a fact, nigga?
Over and over, I done seen it happen
Niggas getting popped just to say that they seen some action
When I hear that RIP, I be hardly reacting
Nowadays, every day feels like it's somebody passing
It's tragic how misfortune changes niggas so drastic
I feel like we some good kids, just surrounded by MAADness, man
The Athenian Dream is just to get out of Athens
At this point, I can hardly imagine

'Cause I've been thinking 'bout turning myself in for a free meal
Fighting for freedom here in the land of the plea deal
Let's be real
Is this free will?
Are we really free?
'Cause I been thinking bout turning myself in for a free meal
Fighting for freedom here in the land of the plea deal
Let's be real
Is this free will?
Was it ever tho?

Ugh
My mama told me, "You better come correct, kid
The first thing those cops finna notice is your complexion"
As a kid, that only filled me with more questions
But as I got older, every answer get more vexing
But I kept my head low, stayed in my section
Made it out of high school with only one damn suspension
Trapped out and got way too close to getting arrested
But now the music the only thing I invest in
Imma spit truth, with no exceptions
Imma keep dropping bars, regardless of the reception
Do whatever I can to make sure y'all get the message
But still I know interpretation finna intercept it
I really hope something comes out of all of these lessons
Cause I been talking the walk even though I'm barely stepping
Wanna believe in God, wish I wasn't such a skeptic
But the devil must be real, seen his face in every direction

Politicians, drug dealers, niggas scamming and robbing
What's the one thing everybody done got in common?
Will to power, everybody climb to the top
Knocking everybody off to keep from dropping
Politicians, drug dealers, niggas scamming and robbing
What's the one thing everybody done got in common?
Will to power, everybody climb to the top
Knocking everybody off to keep from dropping

I've been thinking 'bout turning myself in for a free meal
Fighting for freedom here in the land of the plea deal
Let's be real
Is this free will?
Are we really free?
'Cause I been thinking 'bout turning myself in for a free meal
Fighting for freedom here in the land of the plea deal
Let's be real
Is this free will?
Was it ever tho?
