about

This track is basically me venting about The Fort and all the bullshit I had to endure at the hands of greedy real estates, 2 faced landlords and their lawyers. It's a cold world out there in business land! Ps. go ahead an bankrupt me bitches!

lyrics

If I had me some money I would buy me some time -

Motherfuckers wanna sweat me so hard
Won’t let me go hard, I step with both halves
Both heart and souls they can’t control it
Like growth in molds it can’t unfold
I gotta break these chains set me free
Let me be I just won’t accept the fees
Man nonsense constantly testing me
Trying to raise up costs to the enth degree
Expense and greed to tense to breathe
Dense indeed, yes defence is needed
Like money, somebody lend me freedom
From this corporate blood sport no referies
While my reason tells me to free myself
From the demons out to deceive no doubt
While the system is everybody’s wisdom
My plans are hand written abandon your ambition
Fuck that yo my fam listens
Disadvantaged and damned yo chant with us

If ya held down –held down, Held back – held back
Hell bound – hell bound, Off track – off track
All my peeps getting squashed and hit
Raise a fist in the air and mosh to this
If ya held down –held down, Held back – held back
Hell bound – hell bound, Off track – off track
All my peeps getting washed and rinsed
Because they can’t afford the corporate costs to live

Ha, some people wish they had half my luck
They’re probably not half as stuck or half as ass fucked
Tricked and kicked and sick with stress
And damned if I couldn’t handle a smidgen less
Theirs too much on my plate, too much at stake
Too many cunts to hate amongst the snakes
It’s outrageous, shameless
Facing dark places, pits and cages
But I’ve been talking this shit for ages
Rip the page, yo it’s just a phase
And one day I will disengage – I can’t wait
To see past it, free from hardship
I can’t keep feeding these greedy bastards
It’s too hard, too dark
I’ve come too far, I need a new start
I’m gonna move on up on the honest tip
And just raise new heights like consciousness

If I had me some money I would buy me some time - Repeat

I’m gettin held down –held down, Held back – held back
Hell bound – hell bound, Off track – off track
Now I’m back gonna conquer this
And just raise my fists to this nonsense
gettin held down –held down, Held back – held back
Hell bound – hell bound, Off track – off track
Now I’m back gonna conquer this
And just raise new heights like consciousness
