he’s living in the 21st century
taking it by the reins
emerging from the ashes
of a repressed fame
they tried to strap him to dark oak
but he ripped off that duct tape
now even mj be asking
how much more he can take
they say, “no one man
should have all that power”
but that Nixon shit only takes him farther
stop sniffing, he’s sniffing off the powder
your 21st century schizoid man
propagate the record, the war chant, the field’s open
pull up in a golden chariot, he’s rolling
and all the suburb kids yell
“wait for it, wait for it”
so watch him do it better
than anybody you’ve ever seen do it
now flame up the hog, the logs, and bring the girls in
show off the lightning, they’re gasping and sighing
embodying every characteristic of the egotistic
he knows, he’s so fucking gifted
in this blacksmith world, he’s the one chosen
and he won’t listen when you cry, he leaves in the morning
with two stacks of gold on a cold mattress
no time for words, won’t stay for a moment
so he traipses through a valley of shoes and Louis clothing
furs in Mongolian, sitting pretty on Versace sofas
Was it worth it all?
“Yes!” he screams, and he’ll show it
Knowing better than to let a heart win him over
he just needed time alone with his own faults
brush the blame on someone else
so he could open up his own vault
“bitch, tryna tear me down?”
Please, he won’t hesitate
he’s been hurt, so in spurt
he accepts all the basics
reality is catching up with him
fighting his inner child, but it's winning custody
learned only Vegas highways
lead straight to the hall of fame
and what genius wasn’t
just a little bit insane?
Mamba, Malcolm, Michael Jackson
a black power man in an Italian worship family
they say he is an abomination of the blood inside him
and yet they still wonder
why he keeps on hiding?
at the end of the day, goddamn it
he’s killing this shit
they know damn well
he’s killing this shit
he doesn’t need your bread, dad
he’s stepping foot on Wall Street
Belfort knows what’s gonna happen to him
and they say “no one man
should have all that power”
but that nixon shit only takes him farther
stop sniffing, he’s sniffing off the powder
your 21st century schizoid man
now this will be a beautiful death
flying to the sunlight
waxed wings set alight
waxed wings set alight
now this will be a beautiful death
flying to the sunlight
waxed wings set alight
waxed wings set alight
