Pay Attention
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls
Today, you are about to witness the deal of a lifetime
For only a small fee
You can live the rest of your life in luxury
Pound for pound you'll be rich beyond your wildest dreams...
But, this is a once in a lifetime offer you honestly can't refuse...
I'm fact, you won't...
Your check books aren't balanced enough to outweigh pros and cons on how
loans are interesting smack downs
Breaking your financial backbone by
trading time pieces for dime pieces
So I won't accept
Pennies for thoughts
I want those dollas that make you Holla
To me, You're all just walking pesos
Get it?
you're just walkin pay so
You can't back out of this business transaction
You're opinion is worth nothing to me
just another zero added on my paycheck at the end of the month
But its all just business
I already have teachers working
Physically and financially taxing minds
Cuz it's dangerous when they wander
Thinking they can skip out on payment
Thinking they can get a direct answer on why they have to pay me
But
They didn't sign up for a direct answers
Just direct deposits straight out of my
Mint
I scream these chilling facts through hand-me-down lessons from my school of hard knocks
Lesson one is money ain't the root of all evil...
It's just the fruit
The roots are you wanting more than what you used too
Lesson two:
if you not making dollars
Youre not making sense
Lesson three:
The only way to make change in this world
Is to make change
Otherwise your pockets are going to be rifled
So you better call All-State!
You life ain't in good hands no more
It's about time you get out of that candy land
And play a real man's game of monopoly
I don't play with my money
So I play with yours...
My prices make you jump way off the boardwalk and land in debt for an education
Free ain't in my dictionary
It's not feeding my wallet real green
Just reprocessed packets of greed
See you undeveloped seeds need
Something to feed you
hung up on debt flavored gin and juice nooses over a pool of unpaid Interest
Cuz the bank went on to refuse you
So you let the war on wage rage on
bugging on these taxes like they radioactive,
So you gotta spray the raid on... "
Dreams are risky
My ex Sallie Mae had a dream to be a stock broker
But quickly saw that the stock choked her
And chocked her
And choked her
Until finally the stock broke her
Grabbing at hefty pockets
Full of false profits
Gifted by false prophets
She didn't know that you needed the funds to even start
If you're married to the money
You took the vow "till debt to you part"
And that's where I come in
Im known as a grave robber
Hiding in the deepest recesses of a man's wallet
Holding cash cadavers racked up in rubber bands
I want it all
Time
Effort
Everything
I
Am the one they always ask for
I...
Am attention
And if you pay me...
You'll be rich beyond your worst dreams
But this is a once in a lifetime offer...
You won't refuse
So pay... Attention
