Greed
INTRO
You think greed is just
For money and power
But everyone wants something
They don't have
VERSE 1 (King Ulysses)
Every day you know I need some more
Greed really took my brain and it’s shown me what for
One key lesson in flexing that I can’t ignore
Can’t pretend and expect to know what’s in store
[Yeah!]
Materialism that’s my greatest enemy
Capitalist system telling me it better be
Cause at one time or another, society with its schemes
Wеnt and sent the sin of avarice straight aftеr me
[Facts!]
REM goes REO
I need the Speedwagon
Buy a drop top Benz
No I peep the G Wagon
Maybe one day it’ll happen
If I stay with this rapping
Godly with the Bible
Pages mapping my talents
Really to Be Frank, I need a Grant & Jackson duo
I’m balling up my wallet by collecting on what you owe
Reversed the cards I got dealt felt like UNO
Mastermind of my raps, I’m Scorsese with the Hugo
Tested by greed
It’s consuming me
Make my own way
Whoa this all new to me
Can’t see anything
When you need everything
I’m married to my greed
See, no wedding ring
You know how it be
You know how it goes
Don’t get it muddled
I know what I know
Subtle don’t fly
SWOT it out bro
Dripping like a puddle
Brain got the flows!
Go off yo!!
VERSE 2 (The Bosnian Prince)
1,2,3,4, can’t stop counting
5,6,7 yeah I’m climbing up the mountain
Mountain full of money
Cuz I’m loving all the green
Getting cash for a living
Blowing stacks on the trees
Is this what I want?
Is this what I need?
It’s getting hard to tell
I've been afflicted with the greed
Think you know me?
I’m a different breed
Green in my eyes
I just take what I see
To be frank I need the Ben franks and the euros
Swiss francs I need a big rack make em plural
International money filling in the mural
International whips take em for a whirl
And I take your girl
And I take your world
Throw your money in the air
Just to watch it twirl
Twirling like a top man my head keeps spinning
Society convincing me that money equals winning
Doing all the math but all I see is division
All a system built to make a profit from our sinning
I could care less my joy is in the taking
Set the money on fire see there ain’t no faking
Bring a lighter to the green just to watch it burn
Feel the greed in my chest man I’ll never learn
Playing Risk gotta take it all it’s my turn
I’m pleading guilty with the greed yeah case adjourned
