Sapient:
When it all turns to shit
least I got my health, no health benefits
ain't benefitted, it's been a minute since I been to the dentist
but I floss, though, I floss hard, don't get it twisted
like your ankle when kick-flippin
'cause skateboarding with no health insurance
is a bad business decision
So I get money, money I got
son, fuck your life and your summertime job
You feast like we ain't gonna run outta grass to graze
I don't think like a rat amazed with having things
I think like a cat who traps its prey
keep plenty stashed and watch the value raise
Yeah, I got motives
no taxes, that's broken law
hopin that god does not notice
'cause he's been overlooking a few things
don't forget my mom,
she's been asking you every day to help her get a job
but no one wants to hire a 55-year-old woman with menopause
they're getting their economic recession on
I'm telling her on her way to the temp agency
I haven't blown, tell your bills to just wait for me
Chorus (mo-b):
Wasted investments, if life gave us lemons
watch the lemmings leap from skyscrapers
it feels like the sky is falling, I feel like the sky is falling
x2
mo-b:
Sorry the mood's so ominous
what you do's to market all confidence
and I'm far from an economist,
but I promise the prospects are promising
The work at this produce stand
promised the mill plant's run like terror in
they nonchalant, are they lost with your stocks and bonds
The FDIC needs an IV,
like that, pinching pennies till our forearms cramp
the stimulus packages are so Adam Smith
is greed and avarice the only things that make us adamant?
Seven outta ten, y'all spend on flossing, we take precautions
and stack
I'm sick of taking shit from my bosses
and that's why I'm taking shit from my bosses
Need to cut your losses, comrade
I call a banker a banker,
a conman a conman
beyond that I'm just what I make
the buck says "in god we trust"
it's just blind faith
Chorus
x2
Iame:
You gotta play your hand when them cards get dealt
I'm going all in 'cause this is my time
I'm trying to get that money in large amounts
Not so I'm ballin, I'm just business-minded
Had a vision of signing contracts, plus independently grindin
While you got your petty cash, you got your pennies to find
I got more lint than change in my pocket
you could probably live a couple years off that chain you rockin
F the bullshit that you sellin, it ain't good
Northwest blowing like St. Helens, we stay good
some say if you
mean your money ain't straight, like Brokeback Mountain
you hope that I'm counting against you
but it tends to cause you lots of despair
you keep it in the closet, you scared
but I put clouds in the air, watch the rain start to fall
just a brainstorm for y'all
soak it in, you might gain something real
