lyrics

I don't engage with the fake crowd
Just to see em show love and then flake out
Back in the day they did know my name
Now they wanna hitch a ride on the cake route

The Promise of a better life
Swimming with Shark in water try not let em bite
Changed my angle for better light
Get the dough then we dip in the dead of night

I don't be liking a lot of heads
Still I try to stay positive when I can
Try to temper my temper when temperature rising
Throw they heads in the frying pan

Case you ain't notice, the market is shrinking
You dudes broke, why you talking about business
Looking for gold at the end of the rainbow
Hot for a sec then they drop the next minute

Seen carnage and cheating, they robbed the achievers
Gave it to Rob and made Eve out of atoms
Gods and the demons who walk thru Medina
Coddle believers then thieve em of passion

Pardon my credence, was dogged and mistreated
They promised us freedom gardens of Eden
Plotted to kill us, using our labor
Illusion of choice they be using our data

It's all economics a promise of riches
Propping up puppets who flashing they pistols
Flapping they gums in a struggle for power
Compared to their owner they scrapping for pennies

We tenants living with the enemy
They wanna farm and use our energy
Trying to calm us with a couple psalms
While they compromise our identity

Sold us stories and mythologies
Allegories and false truths
Threats of purgatories, where they burning bodies
Like it's Chernobyl and it's not new

Everybody trying to get the bread
Stepping on each other just to get ahead
Beds in the Hospitals getting scarce
Hooked to ventilators trying to get a breath

No sabbatical no rest
Their supremacy's a known threat
Got a long way to reach home yet
It's a slow burn on they cold flesh

Dwelling within Urban whereabouts
My crib feeling like a warehouse
Merch in the packages merciful traffickers
Clout ain't a thing that I care bout

Jesus and Judases Caesars and Brutuses
Dealt with betrayal so much I got used to it
Then I changed my mentality
Dealt with reality like a Confuciansist

Truthfully, doused my tank with more gasoline
They can choke when they mention my name in songs
I can decapitate your whole cavalry

No cap, I can take a whole faculty
What ya knowledge base that's more my cup of tea
You got some politics? Or just holla shit
Better come correct before you fuck with me
