Right Or Wrong
Blitz & Lake Lyrics

From what I see, the streets are closing in
The environment is becoming increasingly oppressive.

Systems holding men
In many ways, society is keeping people down.

Captive, trapped in a holding pen
People are confined, both physically and socially.

Controlling men
Those in power are using that power to manipulate others.

From what I see, the hustle goes on
Despite the challenges, people are still trying to make a living.

Niggas with stress stay strong
Even in tough situations, people are trying to remain resilient.

A nigga gotta eat right or wrong
Sometimes people have to make difficult choices to survive.

A nigga gotta eat
Sometimes survival comes down to basic needs like food and shelter.

Finally the gates cracked
An opportunity arose.

Inhaled a fresh breeze that took me way back
A sense of nostalgia washed over the artist.

To days of freedom, son we gave 'em seven even
There was a time in the past when people had more autonomy.

Now a free man, prepared a steep plan to see grams
With newfound freedom, the artist is contemplating a move into the drug trade.

Without having to deal with lose grams and unmarked vans

Tell me your focus, it seems you like it when police provoke us

Lead to us grabbing toasters, shoot to kill when they approach us

Instantly tag us, no respect when they bag us

Throw us on the wall, feeling niggas up like they faggots

Hit you where it hurt, kick in ya door

You on the floor, they up ya wifey skirt lookin for raw

You broke the law, you just put in work
