Money Parade - CYNE

It was all about sweet 16, innocence lost

Lost, fallen for Kelly, blonde chick, and I thought

I thought money was God and Rome was built in a day

As they salute the troops floating on the money parade

Let’s say it:

Be all you can be.

Be black, be white, be proud, be free

Get money, get yours (get yours).

Get a girl, get a wife.

That’s love.

I’m poor (I'm poor)

Find God right now (right now)

Go to church.

Go to work.

Clock in. I’m down

Nigga, pay your bills

But I can’t do shit ‘cause I ain’t got money in my pockets

When I get that fucking check from this bullshit-ass job that I got

«I personally want to reach as many people as possible and I try to put

whatever I can do into the most, uh, common terms»

Sweet 16, heroes and all

Eight try, eight die fighting fear for applause.

They march

Eight soldiers with a thirst for blood

Front lines.

Land mines.

Took two as they fall—it's war

Four goons all in unison sing

Fuck bells.

They yell, «Let liberty reign!»

And then when two shots rang and sang for the day

They kill Jill, kill Bill in the money parade

March

Drink deep, drink slow in the land

Hope floats but nothing obtained

I don’t see any love in your eyes

Just pretense, defense, a well of lies

Fuck you!

Never stood up for nothing

Pillar of ignorance toppled on spires of selflessness

Die, fools, die!

Nothing can ever live

Plastic is policy.

Poison punch for kids

Can you hear me out?

Tired of bullshit—so tired of bullets and

Tired of blood on my hands.

Tired of superman

Tired of fangs hiding behind smiles and

Tired of white people and tired of niggas too

Beautiful murderer in the sky

Please bless us with open eyes

Sorrow, tomorrow lies

Will we redeem?

No!

«I think the, the feelings in, uh, in art should be more selective and that,

at least, uh, the artist should be responsible to try to perpetuate the

feelings which he feels will be most beneficial or those feelings which will,

uh, most contribute to a better world»

Fire in the hole as we run on coal

Silver and gold exchanged for the soul (no)

Do what you’re told.

Don’t do what you feel

Wheat, dairy, textiles, steel

Middle East and Africa

Watch your back cause we’re after ya

Money parade for money to take

Money that’s spent from money that’s made

In the end, it’s the bottom line

Suck it up and you quit that crime

Work to the bone, don’t see yo kids (uh uh)

Grab a check and you spend that bitch

We need cops so you pay that tax

Who needs God?

We got Equifax

Who needs God?

We got Equifax

Hello, progress.

Fade to black

«The future is just downright beautiful!»
