The Plot Thickens (Sumpump Productions/The Palmer Squares Remix)
guitar chords lyrics
Now they're talking about what's marketable
How in order to sharpen your note, you gotta squander both your heart and your soul
I'm awfully indignant, trying to live blissfully ignorant
It'll slip through my fingers if opportunity knocks
Drop all them fraudulent gimmicks
Hedging the best, they try to soften your image
Steps to success that'll cost the percentage
Left in debt from investments and wrongful intentions
Direct from the source, it's a corporate message
In the form of a special endorsement, bless the lord
I hack and choke my way through pulmonary circulation
Rappers are broke because they only play impersonators
Bottom line the movement is over, lobotomized
All you occupy is a consumerist culture
Now, some do it to eat, some do it for closure
Bottom line the movement is over, lobotomized
All you occupy is a consumerist culture
Now, some do it to eat, some do it for closure
Some lose their esteem, some lose their composure
Some choose to believe they're a trooper or soldier
Put the pawns on the front line at dawn when the sun rise
Lost but it don't mind, financially desperate
In the presence of management they stand at attention
Pockets low on cash putting knowledge over swag
Talking loads of trash if it's not some balderdash
The second that you sign a check you step inside the lion's den
Don't ever let the seventh sign jeopardize your righteousness
Come along
Come with me and I'mma make you a star
Straight to the top, play ball and you'll be famous tomorrow
Sliding deeper into it
Got your digits now wait for the call
Clock ticking and you gave it your all
The plot thickens
I wanna turn my life over to God
But I gotta get this money first
The piggy bank is hollow and my tummy hurts
Discover me cause being honest there ain't nothing worse
Than hitting bottom looking for a dollar in your mother's purse
A college grad with a hundred grand debt fees
Piling up fast someone cut a damn check please
Cause I want Hummers and jetskis
Upper class bedsheets
Can't say that none of that tempts me
But make an offer, I respectfully decline
On second thought how 'bout you tell me where to sign?
I got bills to pay
Everlasting disarray
My willingness to give a shit is drifting and my dignity has slipped away
Ever since my resoluteness packed up and left
The voice of reason just ran out of breath
I need some oxygen
Accomplishing a lot but still ain't seen a profit yet
So feeling prosperous just ain't an option but I'm confident
We drop another banger and it's over yo
Behave and do your homework you should know it ain't the game it's the controller
So you can't be waiting for a label to approach ya
When the weight is on your shoulders
Gotta make it on your own cause
Would you rather be living in darkness, or dying in the light?
Overexposed, tryna win the fight
Now I tie my shit up tight and hop back into the shade
Where you can rest assured another track is getting made
