The Sky is Falling

Sapient:

When it all turns to shit

least I got my health, no health benefits

ain't benefitted, it's been a minute since I been to the dentist

but I floss, though, I floss hard, don't get it twisted

like your ankle when kick-flippin

'cause skateboarding with no health insurance

is a bad business decision

So I get money, money I got

son, fuck your life and your summertime job

You feast like we ain't gonna run outta grass to graze

I don't think like a rat amazed with having things

I think like a cat who traps its prey

keep plenty stashed and watch the value raise

Yeah, I got motives

no taxes, that's broken law

hopin that god does not notice

'cause he's been overlooking a few things

don't forget my mom,

she's been asking you every day to help her get a job

but no one wants to hire a 55-year-old woman with menopause

they're getting their economic recession on

I'm telling her on her way to the temp agency

I haven't blown, tell your bills to just wait for me

Chorus (mo-b):

Wasted investments, if life gave us lemons

watch the lemmings leap from skyscrapers

it feels like the sky is falling, I feel like the sky is falling

x2

mo-b:

Sorry the mood's so ominous

what you do's to market all confidence

and I'm far from an economist,

but I promise the prospects are promising

The work at this produce stand

promised the mill plant's run like terror in [...]

they nonchalant, are they lost with your stocks and bonds

The FDIC needs an IV,

like that, pinching pennies till our forearms cramp

the stimulus packages are so Adam Smith

is greed and avarice the only things that make us adamant?

Seven outta ten, y'all spend on flossing, we take precautions

and stack [...]

I'm sick of taking shit from my bosses

and that's why I'm taking shit from my bosses

Need to cut your losses, comrade

I call a banker a banker,

a conman a conman

beyond that I'm just what I make

the buck says "in god we trust"

it's just blind faith

Chorus

x2

Iame:

You gotta play your hand when them cards get dealt

I'm going all in 'cause this is my time

I'm trying to get that money in large amounts

Not so I'm ballin, I'm just business-minded

Had a vision of signing contracts, plus independently grindin

While you got your petty cash, you got your pennies to find

I got more lint than change in my pocket

you could probably live a couple years off that chain you rockin

F the bullshit that you sellin, it ain't good

Northwest blowing like St. Helens, we stay good

some say if you [...]

mean your money ain't straight, like Brokeback Mountain

you hope that I'm counting against you

but it tends to cause you lots of despair

you keep it in the closet, you scared

but I put clouds in the air, watch the rain start to fall

just a brainstorm for y'all

soak it in, you might gain something real

Chorus

x2
