[Intro: Noga Erez]
Get your mess right, fix up your life
Cash, cash out
Please check your card
Pay your debt on time
Cash, cash out
You don't know me, you don't know, know, know
Powder your nose, blush your cheekbones
Cash, cash out
Please double-check your card
Stand on your toes
Cash, cash out
You don't know me, you don't know me
[Verse 1: Noga Erez]
(Okay, make sure you have a pen and a paper)
Keep your head low, check, keep your weight low, check
Slow or cop a heel, check, tiptoe, tiptoe, check
Dream it 'til it's yours, check, don't dream too high though
Ceiling hits your head, your building's always low
Fight hard, check, fur coat, check, shout until it hurts
Don't forget to floss, check, don't forget to floss, check
Buy until you cry, check, cry until you die
Patience, not too much, nation, all too much
Eat breakfast, not too much, exercise, never too much
Eggs are small, never too much, exit all, never too much
Base cream, eye cream, sour cream
Hand, feet, hair, chin, tongue, cream, cha-ching
Bad dream, good dream, no dream, American dream
Dream? No, dream? A nightmare
Grab 'em by the throat, grab 'em by the tongue
Don't be a pussy, don't stop
[Chorus: Noga Erez]
You should get your mess right, fix up your life
Cash, cash out
Please check your card
Pay your debt on time
Cash, cash out
You don't know me, you don't know me
[Verse 2: Noga Erez]
This is a new age, it's a new dawn
Donald Duck is dead, Daisy drowned
Close all the gates, Americ-isolate, check
Go down the slope, check, Americ-escalate, check
Focus, focus, Ameri-concentrating
Who am I to judge? I'm barely understanding
Can't read the small letters, analphabetic
Better work hard, not too much, nation, all too much
Polarise, not too much, socialise, never too much
Specialise, never too much, nation, all too much
Nation of not enough, educated, empowered
Independent, motivated, badass motherfucker
Taking on the people, taking on the woman
Take it up and make it up, and make us all your children
Daddy, don't, daddy, please, daddy
Don't preach, daddy, dad, dad, daddy
Grab 'em by the heart, grab 'em by their gods
Don't be a pussy, don't push me, don't stop
[Chorus: Noga Erez]
You should get your mess right, fix up your life
Cash, cash out
Please check your card
Pay your debt on time
Cash, cash out
You don't know me, you don't cash out
[Verse 3: Sammus, Noga Erez]
Suddenly the ink meets the paper and I see my pen bleeds
Got no filter like I got no kidneys, my stutter sometimes like The King's Speech
It's poetry, noble as Springsteen's, some hoped to decord all our 16s
But those who don't know how to get it pretend and propose that our prose is like six things
They demand, yo, what's yo angle? How you stayin' woke when you spit schemes?
Talkin' sambo, maybe Lando, here's an angled rope hung from big trees
Like a handle, many scandals, like I am the pope, not the Sistines
What I can't do is dismantle every single trope in our histories, yeah
My world is bigger than their misery, check
Sorry that they're miserable, check, they can't imprison the invincible, uh
Just remember they're visiting, check, they are just visitors, check
No, they're not listening, yeah, and I'm getting bored, yeah
The cost a' livin' is nasty though I'm runnin' shit like a athlete
Yes, I'm black and wacky like I'm Daffy but that don't prevent me from laughing
They told us women had to stay pure, did you get everything that you came for?
Wait, you don't even gotta say more, I'm not gonna perform in your pain porn
We are never asked to assist thieves, they always grab what they think is their property
Straight robbery, get somebody else for your thinkpiece, uh
[Chorus: Noga Erez]
You should get your mess right, fix up your life
Cash, cash out
Please check your card
Pay your debt on time
Cash, cash out
You don't know me, you don't
