| Verse 2: Po3
|
| It’s a dark world that we’re living in
|
| But let me shed a little light for some dividends
|
| If you can pay me for the night then I’m getting it in
|
| But in our world if the paper is a little thin, this is the end
|
| Back to the pen at hand
|
| This ain’t a lecture, it’s the point of a pentagram
|
| Root of all evil is the answer to the question fam
|
| Empty ya pockets, yessir, that’s the lesson plan

| I’m the professor, it’s economics of a lesser man, 101

| Verse 3: Del
|
| I got schemes to snatch the whole cake
|
| ‘Coz the needs for living don’t go away
|
| I still chill, though, frozen ice in the tray
|
| All work and no play, the grind’ll dull the blade
|
| I connect the parts, put designs in your fade
|
| I got the fix just to fix it, twist the gauge
|
| Pull strings like the marionettes walk the stage
|
| Grease elbows, move smooth and suede
|
| I make the thang run like Mustangs
|
| No rush, but concentrated on the game
|
| Aim accurate, hit points, get raised
|
| Overcome ogres that go against the grain
|
| Break dollars into change, create waves and ripples
|
| Make ‘em skip to the shit that we mixed for you
|
| It’s the principle, go get it, it won’t be sent to you
|
| Events manipulated to do what it was meant to do
