The Grift ft. sow & Jonny Jukebox Lyrics

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

And they always win

In the end

There it go goes again (Ooo shit)

Taken from you hand (That bullshit)

All part of the plan

And they'll do it again

And again

Till they win

The real shit is when it's happening slow

You let it creep and it inhabits your soul

I remember back when I was I still broke

Shit was more expensive when I didn't have it in bulk

It's costs money to need money to lose money

Cars gone, bus late, works pissed, who's coming

Nobody

They 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 paycut you take them be grateful

And 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

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 WANT TO EVER TEACH YOU

There's no fucking way they're being honest with you

They don't need you

Unless

Maybe if you give them some 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

That's how pretty simple math gets so undermined

That's a billion dollar industry to run and hide

This is the greenest that it gets there is no other side

Everybody know hard work is essential

Meritocracy is just a myth to take your money

Meritocracy is just a myth to keep control

It's just another way to use instead colonize a country

You don't think it's fishy that people with the power

Are the same ones that keep telling you that they deserve to tower

And you're just like them

But you're not quite them

If you could just learn

To be less like you

Then you might just get

To be more lied to

I see the way things really are

Y'all try to cover up the scars

The world is full of cruelty

So what if i abuse it when It's suiting me

It's 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 he interfering

All of your emotions

Getting wrapped up in my fearless

Ego, we crush weak foes

And thus we grow

When I get all the money then

None of yall be funny then

Cause numbers lie, numbers don't lie

Numbers don't lie, numbers don't lie

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, I'll get it then

Why would they lie to me
