Terminal Knowledge
Now they're talking about what's marketable How in order to sharpen your note, you gotta squander both your heart and your soul I'm awfully indignant, trying to live blissfully ignorant It'll slip through my fingers if opportunity knocks Drop all them fraudulent gimmicks Hedging the best, they try to soften your image Steps to success that'll cost a percentage Left in debt from investments and wrongful intentions Direct from the source, it's a corporate message In the form of a special endorsement, bless the lord I hack and choke my way through pulmonary circulation Rappers are broke because they only play impersonators Bottom line the movement is over, lobotomized All you occupy is a consumerist culture Now, some do it to eat, some do it for closure Some lose their esteem, some lose their composure Some choose to believe they're a trooper or soldier Put the pawns on the front line at dawn when the sun rise Lost but it don't mind, financially desperate In the presence of management they stand at attention Pockets low on cash putting knowledge over swag Talking loads of trash if it's not some balderdash The second that you sign a check you step inside the lion's den Don't ever let the seventh sign jeopardize your righteousness
