Trap Music


It's that trap muzak misspelled rap muzak or crap muzak either way it's that muzak I miss the days when Raven Symone was black muzak hope Musiq Soulchild comes back but not back muzak because muzak is the reason we're treated like defeated heathens changing leaves more than the seasons and it seems what everyone breathes in us boasting our high dollar purchases our baby mamas out birthing kids no verses from the churches since we must be money worshipping muzak is kamikaze the media's moral folly it's easy to follow poppy seeds pop beats and paparazzi it's such a sensational social genocide "it's mending time" no it's time to make amends with the men who's out here wasting time what happened I thought radio stations were here to save all the blacks I thought rhythm and poetry was popular to state the all facts I thought it was brotherly love because at least we would know to act but now you can't afford to rap without laying a gun on the track so it's a trap! muzak misspelled rap muzak or crap muzak do me a favor go back and mute that nowhere near mutinous I just like to be playing the pilot too scared to start a movement it'd be "inciting a riot" so I stay quiet while the media's silent violence inspires us to remain as the local community communist it's in our politics they blow phosphorus on our philosophers and treat us like all of our promises are just preposterous it's monstrous: the mayhem and the murder involved but I'm too lazy to be a martyr to make the mishaps all solved so we're trapped muzak dispelled rap muzak for crap muzak either way if your still black musak rap about cop killing years later "clack clack, muzak" make me search the station for where the throwbacks are still at
