lirik lagu dolio the sleuth - roach motel
pest control, they’re targeting brown & black youth
planting poison in the hood to attack you
turning noise up in you ears to distract you
keep us running on the hamster wheel till they catch you
track you, using stool pigeons to trap you
little did they know that they’d get caught up in the trap too
because the same bait exterminates the rats too
death before dishonor, like you see on many tattoos
poison reaches the queen, the whole nest is doomed
the offspring’s sick and the rest is through
your very worst enemies living next to you
ruminating on finding ways to bring death to you
they plan to k!ll off the masses to protect the few
from crack to genetically engineered vegetables
designed to k!ll the sperm in your t~st~cl~s
the more we play the game more complex the rules
hand us the bait…
[chorus]
they building prisons, they want you in their jails
they want you in their game, they want for you to fail
they won’t be fully pleased until you’re locked up in a cell
or in a six foot pit on a journey straight to h~ll (not the kid!)
they building prisons, they want us in their jails
they want us in their game, they want for us to fail
they won’t be fully pleased until we’re locked up in a cell
boxed in, it’s a roach motel
their media’s a lie, their labels just support it
they want to keep the family structure fractured and distorted
the pigs will shoot you down and get applauded and rewarded
and the donor base will make sure the best lawyers they’re afforded
take it to a grand jury so they never see a trial
then lock down your whole city by a radius of miles
they’ll blame it on a hoodie or the urban~ness of styles
or some other lame excuse to put the turn up to your dial
they’ve got undercover cops yelling “burn the sucka down”
tell your family and your good friends to get up outta town
hear the sound of the thunderclap
fire burst from the gat
the hands of time are moving, and these devils wanna turn it back
that’s why we protest the summary execution
of a member of our tribe we demand restitution
force their hand to make that devil face some prosecution
or else they’re surely facing a potential revolution
~recognize

they want us in their game, they want for us to fail
they won’t be fully pleased until we’re locked up in a cell
boxed in, it’s a roach motel
