Contradictive Ego

Ego is top priority

if it isn't for me

then its for the fakes

the one who blast their stereos

and fluff their noses

whiffin' on a whim

better learn how to swim

 

learn to catch their falls

in a continuous call

back home is where they run

because no life starts with fun

Mama screamin in agony

just to push you out

so you can deliver her joy

but is it for her, or is it for me?

I know it seems shallow

but your too blind to not see

 

The plastic thoughts

that make up my forehead

gathered and strung out

like a stream of city lights

sitting below as I look down on

all the ones who float around

seemingly lost in the world we took over

 

Its the human species who is the virus

the ones who hone in and take with out asking

Is this mine? money is the answer

if you got no dinero

then you got **** for answers

 

Everyone has **** too bad its not tender

yours is so bad it could knock out the lenders

but again, **** is not the answer

so you better save up

and buy all the world up

and drink it all from a shiny cup

and then throw it all up

and do it again and again

for we all are alcoholics

winning a race

against ourselves

 

in a sin of thought

its you who bought

that necklace

that pretty dress

that watch

that new phone

that mansion in the hills

that ugly ******* poodle

 

But what does it boil down to?

the classy environment

we are all accustomed to?

Try and wonder what is truly rich

for its heavier than gold cinder blocks

and large jewelry rocks

 

Its what you have deep in your mind

I have one, now you try to find

if you adjust the lifestyles

the lavish everydays

than maybe you can be rich

without working a single day

 

I really don't work

and I'm pretty happy

but give me diamonds

and then we'll see whose truly happy
