lyrics
Verse 1:
She's barely 14, single mother, tryna pray,
wish she knew what he was saying, wasn't true, its all a game,
Nowadays, plantin seeds, say I love you, it's a scheme,
to getting laid, and if she pregnant then they turn and run away,
And so she dying, knowin that she coulda turned away,
instead she 8 months pregnant, got a baby on the way
And everyday that she be livin she don't have enough to give it,
So she's been wading through the critics, in the land of entrapment
Hook:
In the land of entrapment (x3)
Verse 2:
His wife pregnant so they crossed last week,
To give a better life to newer life in the land of the free,
A couple months pass, and now he got a job pulling weeds,
and in a couple weeks, he's gonna have enough for them to eat,
But he's self conscious, aware of where he be walking,
He doesn't speak in they language, so he's speaking with caution,
But it don't matter, when he sees those blue lights inside his rear view, and prays that his wife will find refuge in the land of entrapment
Hook
Verse 3:
Going home a couple minutes, driving slow abiding limits,
got her kids inside the civic with her, dreams of leaving town will lift her,
soul until she swerves from his direction on the road,
a second later broken glass, and burning tires, losing hope,
Inside a wreckage, created by a man drinking sin away,
and speeding down the interstate, his second DUI to date,
Gone, a family growing wings to freedom, going home,
not their own, they were finally leaving land of entrapment
Hook
Verse 4:
He's a product of the system, that had locked him up in prison,
now he's livin on these streets and wishing he could find assistance, instead he's trapped, inside a city, tryna get some medication,
or street corner meditation, waiting on a revelation,
God, he's praying that somebody else'll take him,
cause the schizophrenia that he's been living with will break him,
Until that cold dark day, he's shot and killed by the system
that had jailed and freed him, never tried to treat him in the land of entrapment
Hook
