Invested

[Verse 1]
I'm an ace in the hole, embrace what evolved
Don't play, you'll get slapped in the face with my palm
Arms for the poor while I'm talking 'em all
Calm to the core while I wait for their fall
They're running out like fossil fuels
Falling back on vocoders, chop-and-screwing it all up
Doing exactly what you're not to do
Dumbing it down and sounding like Dr. Seuss
My boo says, "Oh, Sape, it's okay
They can't all flow great as you, they'll rotate soon
And then you'll get your turn
The dues will pay back in the respect you've earned"
Well that spotlights hot, right? And tends to burn
So I gotta thicken my skin and shed some fur
But the kid don't sweat, I'm like Imhotep
Doing things human beings don't get
Yea

[Hook 1]
Invested
It's a big, big risk
Either way I'm in a win/win sitch
If I die poor
At least I'll get to look down from Hellven
Watching my great-grand kids get rich
Invested
It's a big, big risk
Either way I'm in a win/win sitch
If I die poor
At least I'll get to look down from Hellven
Watching my great-grand kids get rich

[Verse 2]
It's not a matter of blowing up
I'm just tryna build this ark before the flood
So to stay ahead, yea I multitask
Hammer that nail, put those bolts in fast
Paying dues doesn't mean a thing
I must kill producers and weak emcees
I gotta do the ruthless and evil deeds
Using nooses and guillotines, like uh
You must not be aware of how it works
Me and my peeps be inheriting the earth
While the meek be scared of getting buried in the dirt
Well, if you're scared then go to church
I'll protect this investment work
And like an indentured servant
Yea, I don't rest, I burn it at both ends and turn it up
Doing things human beings are uncertain of

[Hook 1]

Invested

[Verse 3]
I've become this thing
I've become a beast
My peeps don't know what to think
All the little underlings looking up to me
Hoping that I need company, but nada
They just really want someone to lead
And tell 'em to jump every time you say one, two, three
This is serious
But all the words of wisdom that seem to come from me
Are tongue-in-cheek

[Hook 2]
Yea, it's a big, big risk
Either way I'm in a win/win sitch
If I die poor
At least I'll get to look down from Hellven
Watching my great-grand kids get rich
Yea, it's a big, big risk
Either way I'm in a win/win sitch
If I die poor
At least I'll get to look down from Hellven

If I die poor
At least I'll get to look down from Hellven
Watching my great-grand kids get rich

You get murked, bitch

[Hook 3]
You don't know?
Uh-huh
Now you already know
I already told you, but you might forget though
I'm fucking fresh, holmes
And I'll rest when I'm dead, fuck a rest home (Sandpeeps)
You don't know?
Uh-huh
Now you already know
I already told you, but you might forget though
I'm fucking dope, holmes
And I'll sleep when I'm dead, pass the [no doughs]

[Verse 4]
You wanna hate, I'll brush it off like a pimp's shoulder
But why brush it off when I got a lint roller?
I'm a bit older, a bit wiser
You get pushed in strollers, in diapers
Big criers, whining and such
Like you've got sand in your vagina and butt
There's only one thing to do, wipe that shit up
I'm killing, let's celebrate
Put a smile on your mug
But please don't cheese for too long
Or you're gonna end up looking all sweet like RuPaul
Moulin Rouge, crossed with To Wong Foo
Thanks for everything, Julie Newmar, and stuff

[Hook 3]
You don't know?
Uh-huh
Now you already know
I already told you, but you might forget though
I'm fucking fresh, holmes
And I'll rest when I'm dead, fuck a rest home (Debaser)
You don't know?
Uh-huh
Now you already know
I already told you, but you might forget though
I'm fucking dope, holmes
And I'll sleep when I'm dead, pass the [no doughs]

[Verse 5]
I got a good work ethic
Plus Debaser's killing it, good work, Ethic
I'll bring those critters out the woodwork, breakfast
I don't even have to cook first, seconds
