lirik lagu adam jasper - taken for a ride

[verse 1]
as a young boy
you were mired by oppression
and now you’re in the business of displacing aggression
bite your tongue boy
the fifth amendment offers
each and every day you’re sounding more just like your father
and you hated him
yeah he said you were no good
lashings and thrashings, your love was covered in blood
when you came of age
you became what he had tried
patrolling 0-7-9-4-to-the-5

[pre-chorus]
no matter how hard you’d try
imperious years in your mind they still reside
but it’s not your fault that you yourself never strived
is what you told yourself on the day that daddy died

[chorus]
waiting for some tears to cry
they never showed up, no they never arrived
but really it was answers that you so desired
and when you never got them, you’d been taken for a ride

[verse 2]
not so young boy
some would say “over the hill.”
you’d say 37 and thoroughly fulfilled
but the truth is
hardly greater than fiction
use the badge on your chest to feed your power addiction
what does that mean?
you’re very clearly unhappy
leggo your eggo, drop a g now what would that be?
an enigma
something you could never do
you’ll probably be buried in that mbpd blue

[pre-chorus]
no matter how hard you try
self-serving you’ll be ‘till the day that you die. you claim
“protect and serve” is to which you abide
as you racially profile yet another black guy

[chrous]
yeah, promised a sergeant, you’ll rise
well it never showed up, no it never arrived
a victim of the system that you emblematize
and now you know for sure that you’ve been taken for a ride

[bridge]
something had to be done
the hazing was over but the raise would never come
how would you
gain the respect of the antiquated sc-m?
the problem could no longer be drowned by ketel one

[verse 3]
