Puppet On A String Lyrics

Puppet on a string

I don't know what is controlling me

I'm a work horse but I cannot see

Who really is in the driver's seat

My head is getting too big

I think I need a shrink

I think I need a drink

I think I need ka-ching

A big paycheck and an ego check

Better watch this space

Doink Doink

Pride rock my residence, I'm the king now

Pride is why I rap and sing now

Pride built the kingdom, pride burnt it to the ground

It was pride that was there for me when no one was around

Shot clock at two seconds and the ball is outta bounds

Call a timeout, gotta make a plan now

Pass the ball to me, I'mma be the man now

It's a really long shot but I never back down

Just like Pippie Longstocks, it'll be a smackdown

Look up at the crowd, they be screaming so loud

Every seat is sold out, gotta make it no doubt

Adrenalin pumping, I can feel my heart pound

All I wanna do is make mom and my dad proud

They're in row 13, I can see em right now

Referee, whistle blow, and the ball is in bounds

Get the pass

Shoot my shot

Buzzer beater oh wow

Puppet on a string

I don't know what is controlling me

I'm a work horse but I cannot see

Who really is in the driver's seat

My head is getting too big

I think I need a shrink

I think I need a drink

I think I need ka-ching

A big paycheck and an ego check

Better watch this space, don't blink

Doink Doink

Isn't it ironic that of all the people in the world the most illusive one to get to know is yourself

Isn't it ironic that I got the remedy for everybody's maladies but don't got it for myself

Oh well

Can't keep wishin' and bitchin' cause I'm a man on a mission to go and earn my stripes

Moving like impossible is nothing to me, these ain't Nikes on my feet

I'm free

But what does that mean

Freedom ended the war

Freedom liberated people

Freedom became a chore

Freedom instigated evil

Freedom is a democracy

Freedom is for the oil

Freedom is a hypocrisy

Freedom is for the royal

I'm free

When I'm running I gun it, I gun it, I gun it, I gun it from the gun

Track meet

In Addis Ababa right under the burning African sun

Hit the bell lap of the race

And we picking up the pace

I'm the first to break the tape

Your boy is a champion

Real talk

I'm a puppet to my pride freedom and love

Real boss

I do everything for my family above

Peeled off

From the main road

Took the scenic route

Workin' it out

Is what I'm all about

I'm allergic to a negative mood, I'm looking at you

That's onomatopoeia, man, I wouldn't want to be yah

Matter fact, don't want to be another person but me

Cause I love me, I'm so sexy

I'm home on the land and I'm home in the sea

Bucket from the elbow, I'm the bees knees

Monkeying around, I'm smoking on trees

Getting higher than the voices of the Bee Gees

I think it's 'bout time that we talk about love

Everybody want it but nobody get enough

You give it all you got but when you get it you give it up

But I'mma keep mine listen up

P-p-puppet on a string

I don't know what is controlling me

I'm a work horse but I cannot see

Who really is in the driver's seat

My head is getting too big

I think I need a shrink

I think I need a drink

I think I need ka-ching

My head is getting too big

I think I need a shrink

I think I need a drink

I think I need ka-ching

My head is getting too big

I think I need a shrink

I think I need a drink

I think I need ka-ching

A big paycheck and an ego check

Better watch this space, don't blink

Doink Doink

Doink Doink
