Earn Your Way In

[Intro: The Jokerr]
They're not the same way you are
The same way I am
They're not the same way you are
The same way I am
Collective Chaos!

[Verse 1: FM]
Why does everybody think that it's okay
To lie and cheat and play their under-handed games
All so that they can try to justify their hate
And say that you're some kind of person that they can spray
Especially when they're all supposed to be family
Gangin' 'em up on me's part of the strategy
If it's in them all, then I'm down for the tragedy
When I sever the head of a simpleton savagely
I got a knife in my back from the eagle attack from the people who lack talent
To get advice from a hack, their rappin'll be whack, so I'm givin' 'em a smack challenge
I'm never the one to be takin' no days off
Keepin' it monotone, your tones is way off
Leavin' 'em full of regret while you stackin' your debt and I bet that you never get paid off
I've been rappin' since way back
But I perfected my sound and then came back
But a couple of punks turned their nose up my stuff
And now guess who's charge of the payback? Me!
Now it's awful, tryna become so unstoppable
You could grovel, but your never gonna be profitable
Chop the soft, the top, it's never gonna be possible
Now I got the kind of rocks to rock the brothel (Ha!)
I'm at the point of perfection
I'm guessin' by now that your learnin' your lesson
I'm gatherin' fans from ever direction
Makin' you sick with my lyric infection
Your nothin' but a rapping poacher
What you said about me ain't even kosher
If it happens again, you can bet that I'ma rip 'em apart and I'ma leave 'em for Jokerr

[Chorus: The Jokerr]
They're not the same way you are, the same way I am
Their motives are different, their values are different
They're lookin' at you as a means to an end
They're not the same way you are, the same way I am
Their actions betray their intentions
If they really love, then they're gonna earn their way in
Yeah, they're gonna earn their way in
I'm keepin' defenses until they
Earn their way in
I'm watching you ever so closely to see if you
Earn your way in
Yeah, as much as I hate, they just gotta earn their way in (Yo, yo)

[Verse 2: The Jokerr]
I've been bending over backwards for these motherfuckers for a long, long while now
I've been turnin' stones for these bitches, throne' for these bitches
If it's ever goin' down
I've been standin' up for my people, let me know
When the wind and cold comes, I'll be there
But when I need 'em in my corner equally, I'm like, "Where?"
Where? where? Where? Where? Where?
It's a fundamental injustice and I didn't come to expect it like clockwork
I would've been the man to take the damn bullet for 'em, but would they for me? I'm not sure
Man, I'm not sure if they motivations is ever truly aligned with mine
But it takes a lot of motherfuckin' pressure to show what you're made of in a diamond mind
I'm tryin' to find a way to phrase it
Tryin' to find a way to save it
I'm tryin' to not be cynical
I'm tryin' to not be completely enraged with hatred
There's nothing wrong with the relationship
It's just all in the way you frame it
But you go lettin' these people too cross
Too soon to let go, the game is dangerous
See, human ambition has fangs and hidden agendas and secret arrangements
Motherfuckers they can lie to your face and stand there and smile and blink at you shameless
Do you see what I'm sayin'? I've just had a lot of me burned
I'm just tryin' to share what I've learned
Loyalty's gotta be earned

[Chorus: The Jokerr]
They're not the same way you are, the same way I am
Their motives are different, their values are different
They're lookin' at you as a means to an end
They're not the same way you are, the same way I am
Their actions betray their intentions
If they really love, then they're gonna earn their way in
Yeah, they're gonna earn their way in
I'm keepin' defenses until they
Earn their way in
I'm watching you ever so closely to see if you
Earn your way in
Yeah, as much as I hate, they just gotta earn their way in
