To The Bank

[Verse 1]
I’m dedicated to the good and the bad
The ill and the well, the citadel I couldn’t have had
I’m just dealing with the devil that they put in my lap (What?)
Chairman of the board adorned in a hood and a cap
Things change, whatcha saying, man, we shouldn’t adapt?
It’s in your backyard brother, yeah, you looking at that
Take heart from the half glass, unfinished, unjust
Still take 'em down to the cleaners though I am unbrushed
Nobody is untouched (Nah), immunity? Nah, there’s nonesuch (Yes sir)
And you wonder why we can’t trust
That’s why these tales can take animosity (Can take it)
Since the prose and blows are cacophonies
But I’ma do it properly, lock down the spectrum (Right down)
Deliver the tension, chase down redemption
But if I leave and forget to mention
C’mon, take that to the bank, start your engine

[Chorus]
Take that, take that, take that
Take that, take that, take that, take that
Take that, take that, take that, take that
Take that to the, take that to the bank, out the bank, c'mon

[Verse 2]
Dedicated equally to right and wrong
The numerous grey areas that we divide along
I dunno, maybe it’s something like a hybrid song
'Cause the truth don’t give a shit about what side you’re on, ha
It just is whether or not the vibe is strong
None of us got our alignment on
My assignment is not to bring you a cartoon
My sixteens can cut through like harpoons
And true, I got conflict like Khartoum
You’d be in the same shoes, you will if you’re half human
I like the dark side maybe I’m half mutant (Simmer down)
My phonetics are street fighters (Ahhrduken!)
I swear I got no agenda here
Just giving you a place to surrender, dear
And no catch (Nah), I don’t even want a thanks, man, but
What I say you can take to the bank, man

[Scratches: El Gusto]

[Chorus]
Take that, take that, take that
Take that, take that, take that, take that
Take that, take that, take that, take that
Take that to the, take that to the bank, out the bank, come on

[Verse 3]
Yeah
It’s implausible but damn near impossible
Damn near enough to be illogical, oracle
Never mentioned the ending, kept the rest of us pretending
We had figured it, give it, you got it, now get rid of it
My scars are a sign I’m livin' in lived skin
Unsettled river replaces the baby face that I’m in
Played a cameo, I finally get
Marked me like hip-hop culture, and tape cassettes
You can Botox and get a nose job
And everlasting youth but the bones don’t stop dating
Give me age you can bear witness
Where I’ve been, where I’m going, it’s the best litmus
It’s just that bit that hit the spot that made you stop
That bit that got your life to drop, clear the clot
You what? Must’ve been the Kool Aid they drank
Sucker, take that to the bank

[Scratches: El Gusto]
"I like the dark side"
"[?]"
"That bit that hit the spot"

[Outro]
Sucker, take that to the bank
