Open Mike Eagle - Rent Party Revolution lyrics

[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]
