Scapegoat Life Lyrics

Yo, in the shadows where the truth don't glow,

I'm the fool they point at, call me the scapegoat,

Got a heavy burden, man, I'm feelin' the weight,

But they don't see the struggle, just the anger and hate.

Rollin' through the streets, yeah, you know the game's dirty,

Life's a chessboard, but they treat me like the pawn,

Got these whispers in my ear, tellin' me to be strong,

But every move I make, got 'em lurkin' like a con.

I'm the scapegoat, takin' blame, never showin' my pain,

When the heat comes down, I'm the one they try to frame,

But I rise from the ashes, got that fire in my soul,

Playin' my position in a world that's outta control.

They point their fingers, but they don't know the story,

Livin' in a nightmare, but it ain't no allegory,

Feelin' like a martyr, but I ain't wearin' a crown,

Got my brothers in the back, we ain't never backin' down.

They talk about the hustle, yeah, they lust for the fame,

But I'm out here grindin', and they playin' the blame game,

Just a product of the struggle, lost in this concrete,

Tryna navigate the pain, on this dark, gritty beat.

I'm the scapegoat, takin' blame, never showin' my pain,

When the heat comes down, I'm the one they try to frame,

But I rise from the ashes, got that fire in my soul,

Playin' my position in a world that's outta control.

See the riches and the glory, that's a distant dream,

While I'm catchin' all the heat, I'm the silent scream,

But I'm risin' from the dirt, got that hustle in my veins,

Ain't no stoppin' me now, breakin' free from these chains.

So when they look around, and they need a scapegoat,

Just remember my name, I'm the one they wrote,

But I'm livin' for the moment, got my mind on the prize,

Ain't no fallin' for this trap, I'm on the rise, no lies.
