The Matrix Lyrics by Ill Knob

2022

The Matrix Lyrics

Yeah sometimes I feel like we caught up in the matrix Johnny
Too much weird stuff going on you know what I mean lets go

It was very hard to live right and exact
8 million stories 100 million rats
Puerto Ricans had knives Italians had bats
Born on the wrong side of these tracks
Thats why I got a gun so I wouldn't have to run
Violence was addictive it became fun
I was drinking that rum till my feelings got numb
Didn't recognize what I've become
That same thing I despised
& saw through my young 6 year old eyes
When those 2 guys twice my size
Held me at gunpoint my innocence died
I was filled with rage & hate
I just wanna make my great escape
Is it too late to fix my plate
I'm just tryna build a great estate

You want to be hood you want that clout
While you're tryna to get in we tryna get out
Going in circles on this route
Too many lost souls for us to count
We got caught up in the matrix
You must love it in the matrix

Where we got government assisted rent
With a high end Benz and designer drip
Latin Kings Russian mob
Mixed with Nietas Bloods and Crips
Shorty got a nine with a full clip
And a tray eight with a rubber grip
Keeping his head on the swivel
Never know when someone will trip
Listen nothing is what it seems
People will crush your hopes and dreams
& if you make it out and come back
You might get blown to smithereens
Crime is celebrated so is plots and schemes
This that type of stuff you see in movies wildest scenes

You want to be hood you want that clout
While you're tryna to get in we tryna get out
Going in circles on this route
Too many lost souls for us to count
Why they love it in the matrix
Somebody get me out the matrix
