The ILLusionists - Pwnd lyrics

[Lyrics by Sammy Warm Hands] I take my time with each word that I choose And I use it well Cause every rhyme is a tool that I use Just to diffuse this hell It's easy to obey when they give you the gold star You put it in the bank, but don't think for a minute that it'll go far Cause they own you And so you put it in the bank Cause your pockets got these f**ing holes in 'em They've been burned away so many times You've gotta fall back, crawl back Make your living Even the rich, in the end, have got nothing to show Always somebody's b**h Cause you've gotta be recast for another soulless role The same one that you played before Cause they own you Cause they f**ing own you I scan my time card, I put on my name tag And now I'm ready to go Gotta spend some time to make enough money To pay for my car and my cell phone And now I'm never home But it pays for the lights and the food and the roof over my head And even if I got a better job it'd just be starting all the bullsh** again I can never win I can't beat 'em, I feel so defeated I wanna shut 'em down: ctrl + alt + del 'em But I can't quit, don't got enough time Gotta get another dime— it's a fight to get by We fight, not for the party But the plight of the poor and the sick and the starving We scrape for scraps until we get fed We pay the rent or get evicted Cause they own you Cause they f**ing own you I'm so goddamn tired I'm out of gas, burning through four bald tires A broken man, pathetic mess A byproduct of sweat, resentment, stress "You out of debt yet?" sh** man, not even close Making all these records costs more than you know But I'll struggle on my own terms Now I can fight the battle on my own turf Inching away from the edge of the cliff I want to be Titanic, not just another sinking ship And I'll follow through if it's the last thing I do But giving all you've got is only giving what you've got left When they've taken a part of you Cause they own you Cause they f**ing own you
