The Grift

[Intro: Jonny Jukebox]
They always take advantage of you when you're low
When your pride's on the floor
And you don't have no more
I think it's just the standard of who's in control
Cause when they see you get more
Then they just move the goal
And there it goes again
Taking from your hand
All part of the plan
If they always win, in the end
There it goes again (Ooo shit)
Take it from your hand (That bullshit)
All part of the plan (Ooo shit)
They'll do it again
And again
Till they win

[Verse 1: Scuare]
The real shit is when it's happening slow
You let it creep and it inhabits your soul
I remember back when I was still broke
Shit was more expensive when I didn't have it in bulk
It costs money to need money, to lose money
Car's gone, bus late, work's pissed, who's coming
Nobody
Hm
I always got praise like you're essential
"We couldn't do it without you, you're important, you're the tentpole!
But when there's a pay cut, you take them, be grateful"
But where the fuck are they? Vacation, in space though
Can't quit, only power in the faithful
Pray to God, for miracles, guess miracles get made slow

[Bridge: Jonny Jukebox]
(That bullshit)

[Verse 2: Scuare]
It's funny how we all see it
It's less funny how y'all deny it
I know it to be deliberate at this point
I know that y'all not trying to help
You see the problem and you're defining them well
Just to twist it all inside of itself
Fake something that makes money but nothing else
Take advantage of people looking for something real
You're lying to them
You keep lying to them
They're lying to you!
They keep lying to you!
If they're so rich and good at making money
Why would they ever wanna teach you?
There's no fucking way they're being honest with you
They don't need you...
Unless!
Maybe if you give them a bit of your money, you'll get to the top of the pyramid!
I can tell you to work hard
I can tell you to be smart
I can tell you that everybody around you lazy for no charge
Who the fuck you think is working at the businesses that you invest in?
You fucking idiot
If you start from a conclusion guess what you gon' find? (Death)
That's how pretty simple math gets so undermined (yeah)
That's a billion dollar industry to run and hide
This is the greatest that it gets there is no other side
(There is no other side)
Everybody knows hard work is essential
Meritocracy is just a myth to take your money
Meritocracy is just a myth to keep control
Just another way to use instead to colonize a country
You don't think it's fishy that the people with the power
Are the same ones that keep telling you that they deserve the tower?
And you're just like them, yeah (Are you?)
But you're not quite them (Not quite)
If you could just learn (Could just learn!)
To be less like you (To be less like you!)
Then you might just get (Then you might just get!)
To be more lied to (What? All the cycles-)

[Outro: Scuare]
(Yeah)
(Numbers don't lie, numbers don't, numbers don't lie)
I see the way things really are (I see it)
Y'all try to cover up the scars (I see it)
The world is full of cruelty
So what if I abuse it when It's suiting me
It's all human nature
Everyone hates you
Everyone's dishonest
Even if they don't hate you
Females won't date you
Unless they get paid to
Unless you get your money up they got nothing to relate to
Broke dudes jealous
The rich rule fellas
I never get emotional but I might get overzealous
I might get into an argument to demonstrate my wellness
I got no insecurities don't pretend to hate the realness
Y'all could never feel this
Y'all could never feel this
I'm so in control, why you always interfering?
All of your emotions getting wrapped up in my fearless ego
We crush weak foes and thus we grow
When I get all my money then
None of y'all be funny then
Cause numbers don't lie, numbers don't lie, yuh
Numbers don't lie, numbers don't lie
They said numbers don't lie, numbers can't lie
These numbers don't lie
Numbers don't lie, numbers can't lie
Please don't let these numbers lie
I'll get it then, I'll get it then, I'll get it then
I'll get it then, (Why would they lie to me?) I'll get it then, I'll get it then
