Snakes Lyrics by Douglas

2016

[Intro]
Me and my kids all for years we gotta know that shit
But yeah nah
Seriously long story short
I just feel like, today like you know people allow Da art of hip hop And culture to be great for fuckin' dollars yo

[Verse 1: Dougla$]
I dream of brighter days and years to come
But all went patient be a kid and have some fun
Its time to stand up, man up
For a better self, friends and family
How i measure wealth
Can't stay on these darker days
Gotta get high to change my ways
Easier said then done
I can talk and talk, but I'd rather run
We in the land of the snakes
World filled with fakes and to much fuckin' hate
Time for my chains to break
Let me be free, just let me be, Me (Hee, shee)
Individuals put in categories this is a depressing story
That many know too well
Hell, Some can't even see they been put in a box
Then they got the nerve to act shocked
When i told them that i didn't has been lost
But it's they fault, for letting society enfill their lives
And lose their freedom til' the day they die

[Chorus]
We in the land of the snakes
We in the land of the snakes
God bless the snakes
Land of the snakes
United States of snakes
We in the land of the snakes
We in the land of the snakes
God bless the snakes
Land of the snakes
United States of snakes

[Verse 2: Dougla$]
These snakes on your wrist, enemy they want you to join
Into their conformity but i'll never do that
I'll be me, I'll stay free so i never where the chains
Figure things out with my own brain
I ain't gonna be their financial gain
They might drag you down to the depths
While many mothers weptz' son's memories they kept
They know anyone could be next so they gotta watch they step
For snakes are all around (William)
To take you down society tells you what to be
But do they till you what they need
But what we really need is self thinkers
With their own passions willing to put the work in
It could be you, but you got to choose
You want to be your own individual
This decision is pivotal of a new generation do you want to be apart
That let this revolution start

[Chorus]
We in the land of the snakes
We in the land of the snakes
God bless the snakes
Land of the snakes
United States of snakes
We in the land of the snakes
We in the land of the snakes
God bless the snakes
Land of the snakes
United States of snakes

[Verse 3: Dougla$]
Serpents all around me, these snakes tryna' drown me
Society's box, you see, tellin' you what you supposed to be
For yourself not the wealth but on yourself
They gonna try to change you
Make you into the shapes that they desire
Aspire for something different then this next breath
Come with me don't get left
Assigning you a number from birth
That same number get's recycled when you hit the dirt
Ask yourself whats the point?
Conformists can't see past realistical, they just don't know
That there is a greater set to find all you have to do is try
