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
