Crabs in a barrel
A barrel full of slugs
Stash under floorboards
Hidden under rugs
Tryna buy my own freedom
I could sell cupid love
Demystified my own secrets
Found the truth comes with blood
Was crystalized by the pressure
I did dirt with no gloves
So when they try to dismiss me
I cannot give no f*cks
We're the children of rubble and rifles aimed at above
We drink the guilt of survivors and it's a bottomless cup
We tried to push and we prayed but it just wasn't enough
We've been in these streets
You can tell by the scuffs
And I'm not walking out the spot unless you drag me in cuffs
Loyalty over bucks
Rely on talent not luck
Our upbringing was rough but we stay soft with our young
Even if the boat sunk we float until we freeze up
So much light on my tongue I spit the spirit of suns
We got ghosts in our lungs
Gunpowder spliffed in the blunt
They tried to send us out back
So we bust thru the front
Whether you like it or not
Just know that Free's here to stay
So if you ain't rockin with us
Then get the f*ck out the way
Crabs in a barrel
A barrel full of slugs
Stash under floorboards
Hidden under rugs
Demystified my own secrets
Found the truth comes with blood
Tryna buy my own freedom
I could sell cupid love
Was crystalized by the pressure
I did dirt with no gloves
So when they try to dismiss me?
I cannot give no f*cks
We been moving like water
No you can't stop the flood
Gang full of seed sowers
We grew straight out the mud
Aye
And nothing can stop me
I swear
