System Failure

From the album System Failure by Scottychams

Intro

Yeah

Where we’d go so wrong?

Yeah

Where we’d go so wrong?

Now we’re dealing with a system failure

Yeah the whole system’s a failure

Trying to get justice

Verse 1

Yo trust this

I’m Augustus

I’m new the Caesar

Not a people pleaser

Trying to make the fearers

Fear us

Making it sound like

I’m delirious

Questioning if I’m serious

That’s hilarious

Cause

I’m on my grind everytime

Y’all come around

But that’s fine

Problems in this town

The Shwa don’t fuck around

And money can’t solve em

Brutus all around me

Really how they found me

I’m just trying weed em’ out

Smoking weed’s what I’m about

And I know

You got your doubts

So before I really get into it

First my shoutouts

Like

To my girls

And the my boys

To everybody making noise

From We The 9

Looks like

Troops deployed

Yeah

Chorus

Now we’re dealing with a system failure

The whole system’s a failure

Yeah, got us picking up the pieces

From a system failure

And now I’m just trying to get justice

Post-Chorus

You just shot em’ in the head

And left em for dead

But we all revenants

You said it was aight

You thought it was right

But was it justice?

Yeah, was it justice?

Yeah, but was it justice?

Yeah, was it justice?

Verse 2

Yo I'm up late night

Every night

Working on the vision and

Keeping it in sight

In spite

I wake up in the morning

Hit the snooze

I been snoring

Routine

‘Til I'm smoking green

Start spitting

Turn the vape on

Let's start hitting

Damn

I'm just sitting

Chilling

In a haze

While the system’s in a craze

This shit’s a fucking maze

Just one phase

Even water got laced

Psychotropic

I know that

They want us all obedient

Immediately

But I’m just high see

I’m questioning

Wonder why why be

Mixing beats

I’m getting sick

And sick I've been fighting

Illuminate your mind

Awaken it and brighten

Enlighten

In spite of

All the media, the lies

The truth has been disguised

But that's just me

And I'm just really high

Yeah

Now we’re dealing

Chorus

Now we’re dealing with a system failure

The whole system’s a failure

Got us picking up the pieces

From a system failure

And now I’m just trying to get justice

Post-Chorus

Might as well have just shot him in the head

Since you left him for dead

But we all revenants

Yeah

And though you say it’s all aight

You thought it was right

But was it justice?

Verse 3

See everyone you know

Is a lesson

Or a blessing

Except they all meshed in

I mean the real world is depressing

I ain't even messing

All the best things

Cause stressing

And I've been resting

Taking my time

To make this tape sing

On the vape scene

I’m always vaping

Trust me

It’s a great thing

Open up your mind

See what the mind bring

I know I should be minding

My own business

But get with this

Smoking medical shit

And I'm lit

Still

Got to give me another hit

And you thinking I'm a stoner

Then you'd probably be right

I ain't put up a fight

Only got a knife

For the Shwa at night

Is it right?

Nah

It’s kind of like a circus

I say fuck it

Go and overload the circuits

Popo like oh no

Cause now

Now we got a System failure

Yeah

Chorus

Now we’re dealing with a system failure

The whole system’s a failure

Got us picking up the pieces

From a system failure

And now I’m just trying to get justice

Post-Chorus

Might as well have just shot him in the head

Since you left him for dead

But we all revenants

Yeah

We all revenants

Yeah

And though you left him to rot

Thinking you called the shots

But you thought it was right

Why

Was it justice?

How did this happen?
