Lyrics

Incredible effort needed every second When you're workin' nine to five, stressin' twenty-four seven Forever spendin' our credit while we're gettin' in debt At this, the cost of life's rocket science, chemistry lesson We're livin' hope through hardship while folks are starvin' Welcome to your career, open casket No wonder so many be stoned or plastered No wonder so many be broken-hearted, what Drownin' my sorrows in the bottles of your best cheap piss Instead of flippin' dollars in my debt's deep pits Neck-deep in a slump, never in front When the income still isn't comin' in, son Bill or two in the letter box And a hole in every set of socks, stuff the upper echelon Mind on the money, money on the mind Tummy kinda hungry, got the hunger to survive Yo, we step with precaution To an economic crisis of epic proportion Son, this debt is enormous And the cost of my rent means I'm bereft of a fortune While a businessman's rockin' some leather in his boardroom Down to score food by divin' in dumpsters Survivin' the gutter but I'm risin' above it So like it or lump it, either tighten your budget Or get knocked quicker than the stock price plummet What goes up like a thrivin' economy Must come down like the price of your property Spread it around like poverty When there's no profit where you wanna be Broke pocket philosophies What goes up like a thrivin' economy Must come down like the price of your property Spread it around like poverty When there's no profit where you wanna be Broke pocket philosophies Find me up in your local department store I used to wear CK boxer shorts, now it's Target drawers Went from brand name clothes to that fake apparel 'Cause if you wanna save dough you gotta scrape the barrel Snakes and ladders, there's less ups than downs Whether you're dealin' in drugs, bucks, yens or pounds Now all I rep's a frown, 'cause there ain't nothin' funny Been waitin' in line for my K-Rud money Hey, sharp honey, I hope you're not a gold digger All I'm really good for is makin' your soul richer Oh, it's a—gonna be a cold winter For those who don't know how to take in the whole picture And it ain't hard to tell why people act shitty, mate Trapped in the city, not a penny for the piggy bank For pity's sake, it never needed to be like this I'm just tryna find out what the meaning of my life is Greedily self-righteous, recession in its outreach Questin' for the power like the residents of Helms Deep Tax clues, cash rules everything around me So stand to the man who's meddlin' without cream On par with a bombardment of stock markets The long lastin' effects depressively on target I wholeheartedly hope we see a bit of cheddar A reason to endeavour from the evil in September What goes up like a thrivin' economy Must come down like the price of your property Spread it around like poverty When there's no profit where you wanna be Broke pocket philosophies What goes up like a thrivin' economy Must come down like the price of your property Spread it around like poverty When there's no profit where you wanna be Broke pocket philosophies [Outro (Sampled) "I wanna make money so I gotta—" "Gotta—gotta—gotta pay dues" "How does it affect you and I?" "I wanna make money so I gotta—" "Gotta—gotta—gotta pay dues" "How does it affect you and I?" "And that's just the half of my war, pal"
