They say the game a catwalk like Balenci’
I say the game Renaissance like Da Vinci
Share the cheat codes, address the whole committee
And we see the past clearly, we got it on viddy
Yeah
I knew a guy protesting in Chicago
They cuffed him for his skin, you know how the law goes
Gave him two years at home, harassed every day
DA never prosecuted, but they still made him pay
(They still make you pay)
Yo, I got my senator on the phone
He’s got the calls, got the futures, knows where the money goes
And all along the coast, bodies drag and fall
Shadow cities grip the wall
Credit slips, inflation crawls
Poison drips and spirits cry
(They called in from the other line)
The ego dies, the id commence
Behold the death of common sense
You ever climbed a chain link fence to flee a fight?
You ever cut through barbed wire to find new life?
Nah
Focus, focus
All this bullshit
Don’t you know it?
Bought and sold it
I painted a picture of Heath Ledger in a mask
Always hanging crooked, I can’t account for that
Canted angle, that’s the crack that broke your mama’s back
The capital that robbed your mind like a bad check
You don’t get back what you deposit, ain’t no IRS
Ain’t no fraud department, no citizen’s arrest
Check the stars, check the charts, but where we’re going next
Your fantasies aren’t worth a fart, bitch, this is life and death
Self-love, inner peace
But only if it’s only me
Yeah, self-love, inner peace
Only if it’s only me
Catch the signals, scribe the runes
CAD the beat, exploded view
Tep
