[Verse 1]
When I was a smaller Eagle
I was told I'd be richer than a lot of people
I was dressed like a very important boy
In my K-Mart brand sweaters and corduroys
And when the girlies looked down, it was really over
Black argyle socks and new penny loafers
I was erudite
The type of kid that most parents liked
I never begged 'em for a pair of Nikes
Cause I was studying brine shrimp and parasites
And learning how to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit
(Nerd Alert!)
With thick gla**es and everything
Supposed to have big cash when I'm seventeen
From working in research labs with acetylene torches
And a flying Porsche with leather wings
But looking back I wasn't too clever
Cause I grew up to be the smartest broke dude ever
[Hook]
But since it's too late for my goals
I'mma start a party that they can't control
From the Blowed, Swim Team got the H2O
So we gon' start a party that they can't control, yo
I never found no ancient scroll
But I'mma start a party that they can't control
You know my crew get the money and the fame and go
And we gon' start a party that they can't control
[Verse 2]
I be in my kitchen chewing on chicken fat
Thinking about Twitter, I should have invented that
That's not gold from a man's mind
It's just a whole bunch of code on command lines
I get ideas but they explode like land mines
I blame the Masons, they control us with hand signs
I also blame the school system
Except I used to teach, so I fools with 'em
They taught me all about metaphors
And other sh** to make me smart but extra poor
Like which rivers flow through Ecuador
I got a high IQ and low credit score
A lot of rich cats are dumb as sh**
They just work loopholes in the government
But how much dough these dummies gon' get
Raise investment capital, put your money on this right here
[Hook]
