If Only Sheep Need A Leader, Then Why Are You Such A Follower?
Hello sheep of planet earth
I'm here to tell you something about most of you
You're all being duped as you live your pathetic, mundane lives
The ruling class are watching and following every single move you make
Don't forget, get the latest smart device for yourself or for your home
You deserve it
Can you picture life without all of these awesome, high-tech devices
No!?
I figured you'd answer with no
You're all so goddamn lame and fake
Everyone is so comfortable and lethargic
That's the key to their control
You all rather watch some...

Wrong side of the street
Paradise is here
Two blocks down you won't go near
Most avoid with fear
Two blocks down you won't go near
Most avoid with fear

Algorithm Two (PG-13)
This best-selling formula is popular with guys like Rick Ross, 2Chainz, Future, Migos, Trinidad James, and a host of others.
Unlike the rap of Dr. Dre's influence, where memorable music carries the most weight in a song; flash, cash, and overdone excess are the selling points in this newer music.
Here it goes:
Look what I got
Look at what I'm gonna get
Look what you ain't got
Broke Bruther!!
I don't want your girl
But you know that she wants me
Just to prove the point
I'm gon "touch" her!!
Yeah, chump, ...

Useless
Corporate Executives in diapers
Useless as they are
Having their entourage with them
Maids, butler's, secretaries, advisor's etc...
Always there to look out for their best interests
Men & Woman in business attire crying in restaurants when their help is nowhere to be found
One quick phone call and someone is on their way
She arrived
Just in time before that meeting at 9 am!
The maid took the babbling exec to the restroom to change his diaper
She held his hand
The patrons there looked in disgust and continued eating
This shit...

Willing to Spin
I have enough money, (me and my wife)
To lead a comfortable middle class life
Even have enough extra money to spare
To take a chance to be a lottery millionaire
So far, not been as lucky as I would have imagined
Catching a break is harder than catching a dragon
To be honest, I never expect to win
But the wheel of fortune only works for those willing to spin
To lead a comfortable middle class life
Even have enough extra money to spare
To take a chance to be a lottery millionaire
So far, not been as lucky as I would have imagined
Catching a break is harder than catching a dragon
To be honest, I never expect to win
But the wheel of fortune only works for those willing to spin

Don't take love for granted
What happened to you?
You use to have the biggest smile on your face
You would always seem so positive & optimistic about everything
You were my inspiration, my confidant, my friend, my lover
You made me strive to become what I am today
Do you remember, we had nothing?
We struggled terribly
Barely any money for bills, food or decent clothing
I grew the company from just me to having over 100 employees
We made it!!
I was able to buy whatever we needed or wanted
We have three homes and enough money in the bank for the rest of our lives...

Abigail's mother fell into a deep depression that proved fatal
Her only relative was an aunt, who just recently drowned on a beach at Coney Island

Producer Man
She was only seventeen.
Offered her own teenage dream.
He told her,come with me,I'll make you a star!
He told her,that he just wants her to get far.
But the truth slowly rised.
She signed the contract,unsupervised.
She got her car and moved far away.
Just to obey his wishes and be famous one day.
Sign right here,and sign she did.
She didn't know what she wanted.
Soon,she regretted the deal she did.
He knew his way to get her to listen.
Making her into someone else.
A contract,she didn't listen.
And...

Mediocre Inc.
At what age did you find that mediocre's fine,
In corporate halls where the average thrives?
Playing the game with a heart that's malign,
Ignoring respect for the human lives.
Do just the minimum, meets expectations align,
Why strive for more when the soul rarely jives?
It's all about survival, your mental health's sign,
I'd rather close myself in my shell than live this hell.
In realms where misery loves company well,
I choose my own path, adventures to tell.
No more the facade, no more the corporate spell,

bloke on the street
got any spare change, mate?
no, I’m sorry ..
well, have some of mine,
he said,
and slipped me a couple
of quid.
