How many dollars does it take before they start to call you fake, before you're no longer awake?
How many starving artists break?
How many people can relate to drinking Dom and eating steak?
(That's food for thought)
You might of thought that the grass was greener, but all that glitters ain't gold, that's a brass patina
Niggas tricking off their cash knowing that's their reup, and can't hold shit down like acid reflux man
Ain't nothing going on but the rent,
So why you putting up a front like you're the one percent
If the president was Mitt, you'd probably have a fit, same government, tho cuz niggas ain't tax exempt,
Chorus:
There's so much more to life (4x)
Verse 2:
How many vacant homes destroyed?
How many people unemployed and tell me how we fill this void?
Do hoodies make you paranoid?
Which one have you enjoyed?
iPhone or Android?
(I got a 4, and look)
I was bout to cop the 4S, then I thought about it, man I don't need more stress,
First one died in the washing machine, got the second one, next I fucking cracked the screen,
The Father got a sense of humor, every time I play consumer, looking at this bitten apple on the back of my computer
Now does this make me Adam on the Eve of destruction?
Siri spelled backwards is iris, do they see me or something?
Wait...
Chorus
Get Down (repeat 16x)
If you're taught to get the bread but never how to bake,
You'll try to get ahead and only get the ache,
A lot of brothers live to tread and never get the lake,
Claim the earth as their stead and only get the quake,
If I could be a martyr for the diaspora, I would throw a Bon voyage party just to leave tomorrow,
sayonara to Yen Dollar, but what can death offer, when there's so much I haven't yet conquered?
