Lyrics
Locked away in this prison of man
Feeling confined in a societal prison
Say you can't do nothing
Expressing helplessness or limitations
But I know you can
Belief in the capability to overcome challenges
Is this just part of the plan
Questioning if difficulties are intentional
To displace us from our own land
Suspecting a plan to displace people from their land
We've been locked up, beat, cast away
Describing past hardships and abandonment
Traveled far to escape misery
Having traveled to escape suffering
Now we find there's only pain
Discovering only pain in the new place
And there's no way out of this place
Feeling trapped with no escape
In this cage, I am rotten with dread
Experiencing dread and decay in confinement
Waste away from the thoughts in my head
Suffering mentally from uncertain thoughts
Not knowing if I'll die or I'll live
Facing uncertainty about life and death
Can't afford not to take on the risk
Compelled to take risks due to dire circumstances
We've been locked up, beat, cast away
Reiterating past mistreatment and abandonment
Traveled far to escape misery
Having sought escape but found more suffering
Now we find there's only pain
Realizing the presence of continued pain
And there's no way out of this place
Feeling trapped with no apparent solution
Locked away in this prison of man
Repeating the theme of confinement in society
Say you can't do nothing
Expressing perceived limitations
But I know you can
Asserting the belief in overcoming challenges
Is this just part of the plan
Questioning the intentionality of challenges
To displace us from our own land
Speculating on forced displacement from one's land
We've been locked up, beat, cast away
Recalling past suffering and abandonment
Traveled far to escape misery
Having traveled to escape but faced more misery
Now we find there's only pain
Acknowledging the persistent existence of pain
And there's no way out of this place
Expressing the feeling of being trapped
