CAGE

ItsTheory's Notes
Song about stereotypes perpetuated by the liberal media against "rednecks" and how we're trapped in a cage because of it.
//HOOK:
I can ride my bike with no handlebars,
no handlebars, no handlebars,
I can ride my bike with no handlebars,
no handlebars, no handlebars
//VERSE 1:
Poor, uneducated whites, they get the blunt of the tricks,
we're fucking redneck crackers, making fun of the shit,
dumb hillbilly backwoods hicks, trying to mask our past,
we're filled with low-income toothless moms, NASCAR dads,
the trailer park-dwelling, ditch-digging, late to pay the rent,
nearly homeless racist ignorant people, not making sense,
we're barely making dollars at our peanut jobs, close to me,
is Southern culture, still we got our fucking jobs overseas,
I guess that it's supposed to be, while Catholics got rosaries,
and Methodists got money, Baptists suck, roll the weed,
and smoke it while you're cooking meth, it flows with ease,
and goes over our heads, politicians screaming "vote for me",
Republican's won't do shit, they just dupe us for easy green,
we're stupid and confused, blow the fuse on the TV screen,
stereotypes are everywhere, and Democrats perpetuate 'em,
featherweight, zombies rose dead awake, they resonate 'em,
violence in our minds through our spines makes us levitate,
to new levels of ignorance, makes us hard as metal plates,
janitors and cooks and guards and tellers, that's bad news,
no doctors and lawyers or nurses and cops, just fast food,
and retail clerks, we shop at Walmart, and grind around the,
clock, check-to-check, and our friends behind the counters,
shit, all that is sad? Ain't it, for those people who never made it,
shit, that's most of America, with neighborhoods devastated,
hawk up venom, I'm a street poet through rigorous times,
I'd rather conservatives take us than these bigoted minds,
those pseudo-intellectual middle class hipster liberals,
portray us when they make us all the rednecks and criminals,
it seems our whole image's jeopardized, we ain't recognized,
let's leave the rest to die, and if you testify, it's best to lie,
I'm talking about the rigged systems, we're lashing in rage,
with every stereotype against us like we're trapped in a cage
