lyrics

They say, "Leave things better than the way that you found"
So I got it for a quarter, and sold it for a pound
Chilling with your dawgs, while I release the hounds
Looking for a version of myself I never found
A corridor of mirrors, resound around the crown
In the throne of Damocles drunk off the power
It's more than just a setback if I lose the balance
The violin bow splits once more and I'm out
Sitting court-side sipping wine from my chalice
Never been one to back away from a challenge
Nothing worth doing is easy, I doubt it
At it seven years without ever thinking about it
Going through the motions, eroding my fortunes
Moment's grandiose, though I refuse to notice
Illusions of grandeur grinding through my focus
Y'all dilute solutions; I'm proven something potent

What's the motive, tell me where it's at
I refuse to settle on the values of the pack
You can blend in or you can stand in the back
With your hand on the heater
CLACK BLAT BLAT BLAT BLAT
What's the motive, tell me where it's at
I refuse to settle on the values of the pack
You can blend in or you can stand in the back
With your hand on the heater
CLACK BLAT BLAT BLAT BLAT

You happy as a being? What you doing, what you seeing
This an oversight, might want to pray the spiritual beings
What you touch and what you rep not even true
Might have meaning now, but can't take none of it with you
And them so calleds just waiting for you to topple
Any sign of weakness waiting for the stride to get hobbled
This a stain, like it follows
A big pill, big truth, too hard to swallow
This a tale that's been told six ways from Sunday
I could give you one more, if you want to take a chance to dance on the blade
The masquerade comes to an end by twelve or six
The only way it sinks in; if it's followed by a GIF
A skull and cross bones, yeah that can't warn
And I know right now you inside feeling torn
And just know you not alone
And every single day there's a new sucker born

There's a new sucker born
There's a new sucker born
There's a new sucker born
And every single day there's a new sucker born

What's the motive, tell me where it's at
I refuse to settle on the values of the pack
You can blend in or you can stand in the back
With your hand on the heater
CLACK BLAT BLAT BLAT BLAT
What's the motive, tell me where it's at
I refuse to settle on the values of the pack
You can blend in or you can stand in the back
With your hand on the heater
CLACK BLAT BLAT BLAT BLAT

Hand crafted diamond rings, tailor made designer jeans
Project the power of the man that can acquire these
Every chain is a double edged blade
A set of armor on the target it creates
Assets of homage in the carnage you partake
Born into a war that even Gandhi can't escape
To change the course of history you're bound to face some misery
And hopefully the subjects of the crown commiserate
And back you to the fullest, don't ask me why I do it
Vassals out by Power-Inn to Nevin stay the truest
That's the M.O. that's why I never let go
Breathe in, breathe out, they gonna test your mettle
Upgrade to iPhone, used to have the Ghetro
Bet your ass I ran so I could have the throne to settle
Sword above the crown ain't a thing when the mental
Is sitting in positions you'll pass down when they get you

What's the motive, tell me where it's at
I refuse to settle on the values of the pack
You can blend in or you can stand in the back
With your hand on the heater
CLACK BLAT BLAT BLAT BLAT
What's the motive, tell me where it's at
I refuse to settle on the values of the pack
You can blend in or you can stand in the back
With your hand on the heater
CLACK BLAT BLAT BLAT BLAT
