Supreme People |
| Su-preme people living with they backs aligned |
| Up against the wall cause these days are asinine |
| Living in a money matrix, How cats survive |
| Some will fade away and wither, others will blast a 9 |
| Kings and Queens working 9 to 5's |
| And making nothing searching for a deeper purpose in life |
| This CAN"T be life… |
| ? |
| can’t be right… |
| Without no money in my pockets I just can’t see right |
| I used to try to preach to younguns like, «Do right kids» |
| Now-a-days all that I can say is, «Get it how you live» |
| Live how you get it, shit! |
| Don’t nobody wanna get… |
| A promotion up to fry cook like little Calvin did |
| Some would rather take a gamble, hey they might to bids |
| The allure of fast money in this hell-bound system |
| Got you look at two-hundred bucks a week |
| Versus, like a thousand in a day |
| Tell me what makes more sense to these… |
| Trapped like rats in mazes for the cheese |
| Every natural resource is here, We don’t really need money |
| But certain people need power over people |
| They act like that cause they’re trapped inside their EGO-sphere |
| And now you can’t feel free |
| Without material possesions, you can’t just be (Be: echo) |
| And without 'em you’re left stressin, so anxiously (Be: anxiously) |
| So you grab the Smith &Wesson, then aim, then squeeze (Squeeze: echo) |
| To get what’s comin’to ya The block’s so hot, it blew the top off the thermometer |
| The rush for drama is more appealing than a plane light |
| Cause life is insane, so insanity is a sane light |
| It’s so easy to see, simple as day and night |
| SU-preme people born out of the way of the light |
| In the darkness, trying to fly straight |
| To some folks it’s like being a fish swimming with sharks… shit! |
| [Perhaphs not since men turned their ears the preachings of a mere prophet |
| 2000 years ago have the words of humble men reached so many with such force |
| ? |
| Perhaps because it has been burning for long, now smoldering |
| Now bursting into hot flames, now hastily covered over to smolder again |
| Until the next outbreak.] |
| SU-preme people only want the best and uhh |
| SU-preme people won’t settle for less then uhh |
| Straight from royalty put inside projects and uhh |
| Capitalist system that don’t make sense to ya SU-preme people put against the fence, Get up! |
| ? |
| hostile if you aint fixing the… |
| Problem you created that make these condition up A little reparation for your acts are sent to us SU-prome ride to die to get the bucks |
| ? |
| by any means so, uhh, lock your benzes up Tuck your chain and watch and keep your defenses up All they wanna do is live it up like? |
| SU-preme… |
| SU-preme… |
| SU-preme… |
