Greed Lyrics

Gimme that money

Give it to me

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme

Gimme that money

Give it to me

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme

Greed: artificial necessity

The world is too needy for green

You know I don't need it

You know they don't need it

But need is the way you perceive it

Y'all know the quote

Greed is the root of evil

Without it we wouldn't evolve

into the gluttonous, selfish people

Looking at life through an iddy biddy peephole

Y'all are complacent

Always are wasting

Spending while never ever taking haste in the choices you make

Nah it ain't great

Shredding through paper like cheese on a grate, so

How do we move from here?

Get a new motion, new groove in here?

On a micro scale, you can tell people struggle to pay bills

So (inhale)

Individually, I see the synergy between people and me

We're all just trying to be

Have means, financially, responsibly, live life, no plight, in peace

Gimme that money

Give it to me

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme

Gimme that money

Give it to me

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme

Greed: artificial necessity

The world is too needy for green

You know I don't need it

You know they don't need it

But need is the way you perceive it

Imma lay the foundation, sadly

Habits outweigh the intentions, madly

If you trynna save

Then find a way

To limit expenditure daily

Not monthly, cause that's a myth

Find a hundred ways to save a dollar, not a single Benjamin

Ha, yeah, let that marinate

Cook it up, let it cool

Warm it up, meditate

End scene

Now here's the bigger scheme

Lemme, switch flow to better your understanding

Take you, you friend and then me

Our change is only worth pennies

Accumulated and taken by the enemies

Bit extreme, but it gets a little messy

My opinion, Lionel's got plenty

And corporations, man, if they had any

Remorse, they'd get back on the horses

Share a plate, get rid of five courses

Wanna make change? Miss quarterly reports

Fuck stocks & projections

Build something genuine to outlive your brethren

Altruism, you know it?

More than a tax break, so show it

Posers, you know it

The issue, here, is the tippiddy top

You'll hear more after the drop

Gimme that money

Give it to me

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme

Gimme that money

Give it to me

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme

Greed: artificial necessity

The world is too needy for green

You know I don't need it

You know they don't need it

But need is the way you perceive it

I delivered you the micro, leaked into the macro

(Welcome to Econ, professor's an asshole)

Conflict of 2021, how fun

Wallstreet suits putting a gun to the heads of the people, who made a bet

Wallstreetbets on top of the rest

Gamestop & tickers grew quicker

Started as a meme, became a scheme

People found meaning, buying inaugurally

Sending all of their shares to the moon & air

In turn, the one% lost

Rich cry babies sipping on Voss

Called in a favor, 'cause of their losses

Covered their asses: Pampers, dawg

So, dot dot dot

We unhooded the Robin

They robbin the mobs

Stated condolences

Bullshit response

Big money, big power

We should all be appalled

(Damn wait that's crazy. You can manipulate the market daily?)

Well, not you, not me

But people above with a fake ass degree

On the wall

Billions of dollars on call

They're ones who control it all

Yeah, I gotta degree but you know that I use it to engineer safety (c'mon)

Listen I know this song started as a banger

Skip, if you wanna endanger

Your awareness and intelligence

I'm no expert, but I study

What I'm up against

Not about opinions

It's about ensuring you're not a minion to the system, listen

If you tell me to dumb it down

Imma grab Lupe's katana to cut ya down

(So what we gonna do?)

For the bottom to change, it's gotta trickle down

Not like Reagan shit, but like pay & shit

With the top, staying exuberant

The bottom, is gunna need lubricant

Fiscal support & structure to grease the gears of years of inequality, disparity, driven by greed

So I ask again

How do we move from here?

Get a new motion, new groove in here?

Gunna have to come from the top don't stop

keep going and going and going 'til the need drops

How do we move from here?

Get a new motion, new groove in here?

Gonna have to come from the Feds, shit

Don't stop, going and going, 'til the need

Gimme that money

Give it to me

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme

Gimme that money

Give it to me

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme

Greed: artificial necessity

The world is too needy for green

You know I don't need it

You know they don't need it

But need is the way you perceive it

Gimme that money

Give it to me

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme

Gimme that money

Give it to me

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme

Need: Look it up and come back to me

Cause greed is an oiled machine

You know that I mean it, I speak it the realest

Now study and fuckin defeat it
