Cage:
Let me out the cage
I’m stuck backstage
I thought about going on a rampage
But how can I manage
I can do some serious damage
My emotions are bottled up in a package
Never to be opened
My life ain’t golden
A lot of time was stolen
I feel like I’m molding instead of growing
But never showing emotions
Felt like I was apart of prostitution
Or maybe a contribution
The distribution was bad
Still stuck in an institution
Enough of the rhyme scheme
I started turning into something mean
Since I was a teen
I just wanted to be part of the team
It wasn’t part of the dream
I stuck with it but never loved it
I was never legit
I always have a fit
Had my mind doing flips
I always got a chip on my shoulder
Could never let it go
Always trying to bring in the dough
But this temper got to go
Had it since birth
Feel like I’m cursed
I just want to burst
I remember that time I was knocking
Yall was blocking
It was so shocking
Every day the memory is mocking me
They say your fam is always there
But that day they didn’t care
Always bring a tear
So now you want to apologize
I don’t even want it
I’m on my own
My life was postponed for your own thing
Now let it sting
