Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mastered economics 'cause you took yourself from squalor (Slave)
Mastered academics 'cause your grades say you a scholar (Slave)
Mastered Instagram 'cause you can instigate a follow (Shiiiit)
Look at all these slave masters posing on yo dollar (Get it?)
[Verse 2]
Look at all these slave masters posing on yo dollar (Get it?)
Look at all these slave masters posing on yo dollar (Get it?)
Look at all these slave masters posing on yo dollar (Get it?)
(Look at all these slave masters)
[Verse 3]
Business time, I'm on mine
I be minding mine (Make money)
Every time, on my grind
I'm just tryna shine (Stay sunny)
Make a dollar, government, they want a dozen dimes (No cap)
The petty kind might kill ya 'cause they see you shine (Stay strapped)
I done had to have a talk with myself plenty times (For real)
Am I a hypocrite 'cause I know I did plenty crimes? (Yes, I'm is)
I get broke too many times I might slang some dimes (Back to trappin')
[Can] you believe corporations running marijuana? (How that happen?)
And your country getting ran by a casino owner (Oooh)
Pedophiles sponsor all these fuckin' racist bastards (They do)
And I told you once before that you should kill your master (It's true)
Now that's the line that's probably gon' get my ass a-assassinated
[Verse 4]
Master of these politics, you swear that you got options (Slave)
Master of opinion 'cause you vote with a white collar (Slave)
The Thirteenth Amendment says that slavery's abolished (Shiiiit)
Look at all these slave masters posing on yo dollar (Get it?)
[Verse 5]
Look at all these slave masters posing on yo dollar (Get it?)
Look at all these slave masters posing on yo dollar (Get it?)
Look at all these slave masters posing on yo dollar (Get it?)
(Look at all these slave masters)
[Verse 6]
(Confucius say)
Man, you better duck out
Get the bag and then bug out (Uh)
But try to run home you might run your luck out
'Cause just when your bases loaded they'll roll a grenade in the dugout (You're out)
Earth folk, not a mellow bunch
We got our thumbs in the air like hell or bust
Look at who we done blessed with our trust
I don't think we'll be left with too much
Hand on my heart and my mind on my drugs
Got a Vonne-gut punch for your Atlas Shrug
They love to not love, it's just that dumb
Lord, sweet Buddha, please make me numb
Brain bounce off walls like a sentient Roomba
Who just found out his creator's stupid
Lit by the super moon, I'm too lucid
Plus got 'shrooms in the blood, I'm zoomin'
Beep beep Richie, this is New York City
The X on the map where the pain keep hitting
Just us ducks here sitting
Where murderous chokehold cops still earning a living
Funny how some say money don't matter, that's rich now isn't it, get it? Comedy
But try to sell a pack a smokes to get food, get killed
And it's not an anomaly, but hey, it's just money
[Verse 7]
Mastered economics 'cause you took yourself from squalor (Slave)
Mastered academics 'cause your grades say you a scholar (Slave)
Mastered Instagram 'cause you can instigate a follow (Shiiiit)
Look at all these slave masters
Let it sink in
[Verse 8]
20/20, run the map
Raw uncut in my hourglass
Don't watch it spill to the bottom half
You see the piece, now run it fast
On the tarmac in a Starter jack
I'm C4 when I run it back
Like a track star run a record lap?
Nah, like when this needle catch
A clean look, a poet pugilist
A shooter's view, a Zapruder flick
Too rude for ya rudiments
Who convinced you?
You can move against the crew in this
Coming up through the fence
Offshore outta Port-au-Prince
Louverture left his fingerprints
On our hearts at the gate in the world our residence
How can we be the peace
When the beast gonna reach for the worst?
Tear all the flesh off the earth
Stage set from a deafening reckoning
Quick like the pace of my verse
So I'm questioning this quest for things
As a recipe for early death threatening
But the breath in me is weaponry, for you it's just money
