lyrics

They always take advantage of you when you're low
When your pride's on the floor
And you don't have no more
I think it's just the standard of who's in control
Cause when they see you get more
Then they just move the goal
And there it goes again
Taking from your hand
All part of the plan
And they always win
In the end
There it go goes again (Ooo shit)
Taken from you hand (That bullshit)
All part of the plan
And they'll do it again
And again
Till they win

The real shit is when it's happening slow
You let it creep and it inhabits your soul
I remember back when I was I still broke
Shit was more expensive when I didn't have it in bulk
It's costs money to need money to lose money
Cars gone, bus late, works pissed, who's coming
Nobody
They always got praise like you're essential
We couldn't do it without you, you're important you're the tentpole
But when there's a paycut you take them be grateful
And where the fuck are they? Vacation, in space though
Can't quit, only power in the faithful
Pray to god for miracles, guess miracles get made slow
It's funny how we all see it
It's less funny how y'all deny it
I know it to be deliberate at this point
I know that y'all not trying to help
You see the problem and you're defining them well
Just to twist it all inside of itself
Fake something that makes money, but nothing else
Take advantage of people looking for something real
You're lying to them
You keep lying to them
They're lying to you
They keep lying to you
If they're so rich and good at making money
WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO EVER TEACH YOU
There's no fucking way they're being honest with you
They don't need you
Unless
Maybe if you give them some of your money, you'll get to the top of the pyramid

I can tell you to work hard
I can tell you to be smart
I can tell you that everybody around you lazy for no charge
Who the fuck you think is working at the businesses that you invest in
You fucking idiot

If you start from a conclusion guess what you gon' find
That's how pretty simple math gets so undermined
That's a billion dollar industry to run and hide
This is the greenest that it gets there is no other side
Everybody know hard work is essential
Meritocracy is just a myth to take your money
Meritocracy is just a myth to keep control
It's just another way to use instead colonize a country
You don't think it's fishy that people with the power
Are the same ones that keep telling you that they deserve to tower
And you're just like them
But you're not quite them
If you could just learn
To be less like you
Then you might just get
To be more lied to

I see the way things really are
Y'all try to cover up the scars
The world is full of cruelty
So what if i abuse it when It's suiting me
It's human nature
Everyone hates you
Everyone's dishonest
Even if they don't hate you
Females won't date you
Unless they get paid to
Unless you get your money up they got nothing to relate to
Broke dudes jealous
The rich rule fellas
I never get emotional but I might get overzealous
I might get into an argument to demonstrate my wellness
I got no insecurities, don't pretend to hate the realness
Y'all could never feel this
Y'all could never feel this
I'm so in control why you always he interfering
All of your emotions
Getting wrapped up in my fearless
Ego, we crush weak foes
And thus we grow

When I get all the money then
None of yall be funny then
Cause numbers lie, numbers don't lie
Numbers don't lie, numbers don't lie

Numbers don't lie, numbers can't lie
These numbers don't lie
Numbers don't lie, numbers can't lie
Please don't let these numbers lie

I'll get it then, I'll get it then, I'll get it then
I'll get it then, I'll get it then
Why would they lie to me
