they got caught up in the hussle

they got caught up in the hussle
tryin to sell us shit
but it aint worth it
their products two-bit
the kids try to get cash outa pickets
and don't care for much besides gold lockets
meanwhile the masses are unconnected
there's no compassion we're all disconnected
but kids with plans make cash all the while
they wear the clothes that're in style
and drive their cars around the place
ugly face they're just a big disgrace
tryin to make a dollar like they need it
but they don't really need any they're just greedy
strange how these are our representatives
people around town taking cash from the needy
meanwhile their eyes beady going over cash counts
they don't really give a damn about the inflated amount
that the people tend to pay for a poor sikh product
take a step back and man its hard to swallow this
but we've got some muscled types trying to shove us all around
and we're standing back and letting them take the high ground
meanwhile we're just sitting in the corners in the dark
and noone seems to have an idea nor a spark
it's just a sad time to be an indian today
there's too many people trying to pull you every which way
meanwhile the children grow without any real guidance
they're told by the world that they come from middle eastern violence
meanwhile behind us the people stare intently
they've decided to take our skin and label us relentelessly
we don't defend just bend to the whim of they
because we're the new kids on the block and don't care anyway
like some emo kid fucker we just slit our own throats
meanwhile the whites make jokes about men and goats
even the asians make comments about our skin type
a guy can't get a brake can't even go out and ride a bike
but where are the great minds of our generation
who happened to be born of our skin color veneration
they scheme behind their closed door trying to get some cash
wasting all their youth and thought in the pursuit of flash
and im tired of seeing kids cue up to get into a bar
where the music has some shreds of the indians that they are
while the name indian might be an outdated title
it's all we've got really and it's better than the bible
