lirik lagu caged in your zoo – slimes souls

intro

in this world
there will be people who want to bring you down
but do me a favour, son, and keep fighting
don’t listen to their writing

hook

you better shut your mouth, you better shut it now
you better stand down, before i put you down
you better shut your mouth, you better shut it now
you better shut your mouth, you better shut your mouth

verse one

there’s h*ll in your paradise
when we’re trapped inside
your zoo
even the wildlife
is trapped inside
too
we’rе all parked in your view
so you can tell us what to do
you can abusе
but then just accuse
us of accusations when we’re saying that’s what you do
target the women, they’re your victims but paint them as the villains when they stand up to you
decide who gets more rights, but then talk about an equal life
you just want to deceive then pretend you’re for the people, right?
but just know i see through your evil lies
you’ve got a lethal mind
everything you do is illegal, crime
lays within
but i’m not scared, i’m prepared to stand against this
hook

verse two

in this zoo, we’re all your animals too, but we’re the ones getting clawed
keep us caged, take our rights away, you must be above the law
but then we’re all a part of an hierarchy
and the powerful man is in charge of the land we live in
there’s no justice when we’re all fish in the shark’s sea
and he’s the f*cking shark that likes to visit
so enjoy your visit before he comes
because as soon as he does
he’ll eat you up
and if you don’t like it here, you’re asked to leave
i guess it’s a sin to be aware of how they deceive
don’t point out the discrimination or cruel ways
or you’ll be facing a cruel face
so go along with their wrongs
but it’s alright
if you’re a man who happens to be white
they’ll like you
but if you’re from a minority group
be prepared to get looked down on
remove that smile and put a frown on
the person above you doesn’t love you, he’s got a god complex
which is ironic as i only see the devil in red
so how is he blessed
everyone goes along with what the powerful man says
well i say f*ck that
i’m going to stand up to that
i’m going to break out
of my cage now
hook

i’m not gonna shut my mouth, i’m not going to step down
but you better shut yours now, you better get down
you better shut up, you better keep your mouth shut

verse three

i’m prepared to stand against the heard, my heart is amber
but that causes for hateful words, they’ve lost their temper
they’re using intimidation, to get away with discrimination
they sweep the complaints and other conversations under the rug
they use tears to fill up holes that have been dug
but their tears are crocodiles tears, they want to stop our smiles here
you lose your confidence as fears do k!ll your soul, they’ve taken your courage
they just want compliments, so they rewrite complaints so they can flourish
they’ve removed your petals, and set fire to your roots
without a giving it a thought or mind, they’ve undone everything we fought for, life feels burnt out
but still the smoke won’t settle, it lingers around to suffocate you
as we fall six feet under burnt ground
when’s it going to be their turn now
is the question our minds ask
but we know it never will be when they’re the fire extinguisher and the striked match
they’re the smoke detector and the white gas
but they deny that
but they will write back
but their letter, is just them reinforcing that they’re the alpha, better acknowledge
that those in power, will take ours until we are abolished
yes, they’re trying to take our rights away
but i’ll fight today
and every day for that matter
i’m more than just a rapper
i’m a fighter, a survivor of the hatred
i used to have the stripes of a zebra, but they turned into stripes of a tiger, i’ve rewritten my pages
but you painted me and everyone as crazy whenever we critique your ways
you just want us caged
hook

i’m not gonna shut my mouth, i’m not going to step down
but you better shut yours now, you better get down
you better shut up, you better keep your mouth shut

verse four

communication is the key
that’ll set us free
but whenever we try to tell you how we feel
you tell us to keep our mouths sealed
you want to keep us chained
you put us in a cage
as you write your own novella
we’re wishing on a star or well, as you turn us into an animal farm
you play the instruments and we’re forced to listen and witness the harm
you say we’ve became soft, but life is hard
you’re fishing for compliments, we’re going to go fish in the wells for luck
but we ain’t playing cards, we’re just showing the one’s we were dealt
but you never gave a f*ck about how we felt
everyone deserves human rights, which is why, you cage us like animals
because then we’re not humans at all
but you don’t let people see this side, instead you speak in lies
you say you’re for all, but your actions don’t show it
you trip women over and cause for them to fall, that or you follow them
maybe even both, now women are fighting for equal rights like it’s an action movie
there’s no men to save the day, the good ones have been caged away but women don’t need saving from the people hurting them
it’s true we are hurting them, burning them, turning them insecure
but there’s only one person is to be blamed, but they shan’t be named, like voldemort
we’re all in his pot, i wish i had a magic wand to help fix this h*llish nation
but sadly not even magic can fix the discrimination
we’re rolling in their schooling
we’re skates on their platforms, they’re sharks
they’re so full of hate even though we share the same parts
they’re training us how they want us to preform
and there’s ableism and misogyny
in your hierarchy
you’re supposed to be for people from all walks of life
instead you discriminate and intimidate even though that’s an awful crime
but it’s never a police matter, when the men in blue don’t help
people want to know if it’ll get better, but time won’t tell
no matter what happens, we know nothing goes well
this prison has been rewritten into a hotel
well, they’re tricking us into thinking this
we’re all on board a sinking ship
blink and you’ll miss it, but they won’t allow us to put the blinkers on
you want us to be restricted, there’s disrespect, you’re starting to attack, you’re to blame for the k!lling
as you step all over the women like they’re a mat, they’re in need of healing
we’ve gone back to 1975
so much for being welcoming to people from all walks of life
women keep getting stepped on, or stared at
heaven’s stairs collapse as they turn to a slope that leads to h*ll
the respects gone, and we won’t get the care back
when every stare causes women to lose hope in men
so yet again we’ve fell
but you say you can help
we just have to make a visit to your city
but when there, if we don’t follow your rules, you sock it to us
you’re causing us to lose our footing
we’ve been stripped bare, you’ve gotten cruel, it’s gotten too much
nothing is looking up
the sun bares heat, but your darkness brings more
you won’t listen to our songs but we have to sing yours
but your tune is the opposite to the key of freedom
you make a fortune from other’s misery, but yet we’re still visiting
you’re so d*mn evil, you don’t want us to grow as people
but i want to grow like a tree now
but you chop me down
or cage me so i can’t leave now
you turnt my leafs brown
i want to go back to my roots
but you prevent me and instead give me the black thoughts
but you can’t chop my trunk to chunks when i’m an elephant in the room
i’m bringing up the conversations that need to be brought
i’m not going to be a sheep like you want
but still everyday that we’re caged, we beg for change but you can’t bare the thought of us needing adjustments
you are the polar opposite of us then
causing our moods to change when you’re near
when you are close by, we get enraged with fear
which is something else you can’t bare
you’re the only one who’s allowed to get grizzly
as this is your city
or from the mere fact, you’re the big cat
and we’re the billy goats, but you didn’t know, that we’ll end up being the greatest of all time
and when we are, we won’t let your hatred slide, we will swing high, we won’t be parked in your view
we’ll have more fuel so i will drive the story in a different direction
you will see my stripes like a tiger, the fighter in me is tired of being messed with
you won’t be the main character, i’ll be the lion at the ending
meaning i’ll switch to the main, roar my name, i’ll never go extinct
i will bring all the dinosaurs back from the ashes like a phoenix
i’ll set fire to your city, as i spread my wings big
i’ll make sure you actually do a 360 unlike an owl’s head
i’ll help everyone out of their sh*ll, the turtle will beat the hare as the story is now set
i have an eagles visionary, i’m going to write history
like martin luther, i have a dream
i’m removing the dark land as i see a brighter future, where i will create an area everyone can play in
my opened mouth won’t be closing now, you will know every word i’m saying

hook

i’m not gonna shut my mouth, i’m not going to step down
but you better shut yours now, you better get down
you better shut up, you better keep your mouth shut

bridge

even though i’m yet to go to war, the battle has been won
because i’m prepared to fight for everyone
and i’m going to build an army to go to war with and once we’ve started, there’s no losing
because my movement
will represent escaping the zoo’s tricks

hook

i’m not gonna shut my mouth, i’m not going to step down
but you better shut yours now, you better get down
you better shut up, you better keep your mouth shut

outro

in this world, there’ll be people who want to take you down
but if we all stand against those trying to shut us up
we won’t fall silent to their words
