Walk down the red carpet, where the stars at
Leave like I'm red carded, I departed
In amongst being bombarded I carted
Myself off starboard, I never need targets
I'm playing my part to enlarge it
And put a middle finger up to the sergeant
Make your best bet known in debt to the bone
Take it home by a handsome margin
It's not what I thought when I started
Not the expectation I harboured
And the temptation for the sensation
Ain't a damn thing changed in the market
I follow in the footsteps charted
Me and dad did it different like Javed
Yo I owe em no sense but a distant sense
So I ain't being that boy you can bark at
Even if I get sent through the juicer
And they got me by the balls like super
I might not get the treatment I'm used to but
I refuse to participate like a rooster
Meaning no crowing at dawn or mowin no
Lawn for the big shot if I can get a flow in that scorn
Only take a minute for the temperature to warm
And I ain't bein backed up by brawn
That's what I love, learning from the wrong way
Even when I have to navigate around the long way
Don't believe a word that the song say
k** em by the entree, bricks of the city of Pompeii
Drop like the crash of 0-8 where they weigh
Blue chips as they would a featherweight
They rise they fall and they speculate all
But they won't be with you when you hit the wall (one and all!)
You think that you had it all worked out
With a/ with a bluff it'd turn out
V can be for peace or f** you
We prepared for each so f** you
And you call me uncivilised
Now the V gotta be reversed
It's my middle and my index served
It's my middle and my index served
I ain't in the business of owing you a cent
Think that I'll beg no chance you can bet
Many souls get sold cold for the debt
They ain't got control when the appetite whet
Call it what ya will I'll be cool with the pride
On your own now I ain't down with the slide
Thought that you had it worked out yeah right
Had it all worked out isn't that nice?
Can I get a cheque? That's what we get
Get for the blood for the blood for the sweat
Can we get a cheque hell yeah we can get a cheque
We can get a cheque, we can get a cheque
Can I get a cheque? That's what we get
Get for the blood for the blood for the sweat
Can we get a cheque hell yeah we can get a cheque
We can get a cheque, we can get a cheque
You think that you had it all worked out
With a/ with a/ with a bluff
You think that you had it worked out
Worked out/ worked out
You think with a/ with a/
With a bluff it'd turn out
You think/ you think/ you think
That you had it all worked out/ worked out!
