Tricked - Royce 5'9, KXNG Crooked

Trick, trick, trick

It’s a trick, trick, trick

We’ve been tricked, it’s a trick

Trick, we’ve been tricked

Tricked into thinking we need that, we need this

Tricked into thinkin' since we rap, we get rich

Trick, trick, my nigga it’s a trick

Trick, trick, it’s a trick, we’ve been tricked

Into thinkin' that the art is a pie to be split

My nigga it’s a farse, it’s a lie, we’ve been tricked

If you can name a record label guy takin' risks

Then I can name a misdirected guy that’s been tricked

Tricked, this is why I don’t fuck with them

Only thing they takin' is your publishin'

Watch you make mistakes in the court of public sin

Got you concentratin' on hittin' the club, gettin' spins

Ballin' off of your budget, that’s at your expense

Your A&R spendin' five, they deductin' ten

Trick, trick, trick

Trick, we’ve been tricked

Trick, it’s a trick

My nigga it’s a trick

Tricked into thinkin' we need them to exist

Tricked into thinkin' that my sister is a bitch

Thinkin' that I can kiss these random bitches on the lips

Thinkin' that my health is not an issue 'til I’m sick

Forever havin' issues with my brother, that’s a trick

Because we Crips and Bloods we kill each other, that’s a trick

Think that because you do crime that you cannot fall victim

Think you can drink and drive, not end up in car collision

From day one at the hospital they target our children

Say they gonna immunize 'em they somehow get autism

Incriminate myself on records speakin' on my life

Expect to receive blessings out here cheatin' on my wife

Trick, trick, it’s a trick

We’ve been tricked

Trick, trick

My nigga you’ve been tricked

The owners of the prisons are magicians, that’s a trick

Wala, disappearin' in the system, that’s a trick

Trick, trick, my nigga we’ve been tricked

Trick, trick, my nigga that’s a trick

The pen is a black magic trap, that’s a trick

Pull your rabbit ass out and put you back, that’s a trick

Thinkin' it’s a right of passage for a black male

Ain’t a real nigga 'til you enter that jail

It’s a trick, it’s a spell

You’re bewitches, it’s a L

You’re bigger than that prison like Mandela in the cell

Made you fall in love with sittin' in a prison room

They swept you under the rug, with the wicked witch’s broom

What about your son sittin' in your bitches womb?

Without you he’s a thug, prison business just resumes

Trick, trick, my nigga it’s a trick

Trick, trick, we’ve been tricked, it’s a trick

Them 360 deals got 'em livin' in your pockets

Now everything you gross is hittin' different than your profits

Thinkin' you the man 'cause you made a million dollars

They wave a magic wand, Uncle Sam fill his wallets

Trick, trick, my nigga you’ve been tricked

Trick, trick, it’s a trick, we’ve been tricked

Trick, trick, my nigga you’ve been tricked

Trick, trick, my nigga you’ve been tricked

Tricked into thinkin' your amendments really matter

The right to bear arms was only made for Grizzly Adams

Trick, trick, my nigga you’ve been tricked

Trick, trick, we’ve been tricked, it’s a trick

Thinkin' your degree will have everything protected

A ghetto soundin' name, got your resume rejected

And politicians lie, got their clever ways perfected

'Cause puppet masters still control whoever they elected

Trick, trick, my nigga-
