It's All a Scam
Unveiling Deception: Mattydale's Take on a Rigged System
Lyrics
They glamorize the negatives
They glorify the negative aspects of life.
And push aside the positives
Positive elements are ignored or marginalized.
And now you got good kids growin' up to be the opposite
Good kids are influenced to become the opposite of what they should be.
You need this, you need that
There is a constant demand for material possessions.
Believe this, believe that
People are urged to believe in various things.
They'll lock up your future
The system can limit your future opportunities.
Won't tell you where the keys at
The keys to success are not disclosed.
The system's made to hold you back
The system is designed to hinder progress.
You're lookin' at a glass ceiling you can never crack
Reference to a glass ceiling, indicating invisible barriers to advancement.
Ask for more, but give you less
Demands for more, but the returns are less.
Askin' you to break your back
Encouragement to work hard until death.
Until they lay you to rest
Life's struggles continue until one's passing.
It's all a scam

It's all a plan

It's all a scam

Truth is you're disposable to them

You're just another tool to find a means to an end

And they keep askin' you to bend
Continuous pressure to conform, knowing it may lead to a breakdown.
Cuz' they know in the end you'll break my friend

Welfare, poverty - that's why they got the lottery

Over taxed and underpaid
People are burdened with excessive taxes and insufficient pay, highlighting the unfairness.
Ain't that shit a mockery?

Steal the money from your pockets right in front of your eyes
