about

I find the exchange of currency for goods to be the primary cause of the single most destructive human emotion: loneliness. By the way, please buy this album.

lyrics

The mind’s been monopolized
Access to assets through unauthorized entry
Means the sense we have taken for granted
Is now under control by invaders shaking hands with
One in a million who have hunted our children
As prey in a game we only notice if the footage of
A crumbling building’s neatly packaged as a montage
A barrage of scabs that never fall off
Unless of course the wounds are falling in line
With the circle of pain and it’s hollow design
Filling the void with the square root of all of these lies
Pixelated propaganda infiltrated quality time
To the point it’s government this, government that
Even I’m like “Just shut up and rap”
I’ve spent my attention on distraction
Dissatisfaction with what hasn’t even happened
And asking “Should I ever trade the amount
Of doubt I keep in check for a savings account?”
The funny faces in the basis of money’s racist
Overtones got me broke as a joke.

But it’s no laughing matter
And there’s no laughing after
The rich don’t pass the platter
You see, the fatter the wallets the sooner the bomb hits: BOOM
Every debt owed to you
Will be paid by the standards we hold you to
Underfunded, it’ll all be over soon
Pay attention, it’s all you can afford.

Buy me a baby, teach it how to read
Provide until it hates me, eats me out of greed
Pay attention: it’s all you can afford.
This whole time
The copper heads been the silver lining in the gold mine
Hold my sword while I pen another blank check
Homeless and the emperor asleep on the same step
When they choke on the same breath
It takes less investment than your best impression
Of an angry mob selling souls on your front yard
So stack your chips until the boss pulls your trump card
You’re fired from real estate’s reality show
Interest rates at an all time low
Cause you didn’t budget funds for a market scheme
Ahead of the game to be the heart of the scene
Awake, desensitized, debate, decentralized
Await the daybreak as the symbol to vacate
Every mainstay of geological gateways
Fame pays when stocks die at the same age
Spoken true on an overdue payment
Where entertainment’s no more than basic training
For the crash of cash and the halt of vaults
when you’re poor and ignored, it’s all your fault.
No different than back when
There is no past tense
Sticks and stones evolved to Mac tens
The fatter the wallets, the sooner the bomb hits: BOOM
Every debt owed to you
Will be paid by the standards we hold you to
Underfunded, it’ll all be over soon
Pay attention, it’s all you can afford.

Buy me a baby, teach it how to read
Provide until it hates me, eats me out of greed
Pay attention.
When the bomb hits: BOOM
Cabs and cops, master locks
Drug free countries and acid drops
Cash and crops, ads and plots
Blameless nations with haves and nots. (scratched by DJ Cam One)
