lyrics

[Verse 1: Polito]
Rivers run to oceans like how it’s supposed to be
Empty are my pockets, not where I wanna be
Handstand for fifty cents on the corner of the street
Saving every penny, I’m a mogul to be
Follow Benji’s advice a penny saved a penny earned
Saved a hundred thousand pennies that’s ten Benji’s earned
Ahead of the class you lose it all and that’s a lesson learned
Lost in Vegas I got an itch and my pockets burned
Boy, where’s the profit?
Lobbied office, drenched in malice
Hope to God I find a dollar ‘neath this mattress
Synthesize my madness, thinking ‘bout some caption
Staining psyche blanket, black hole steeps some hatred
Thinking that the internet would save me

[Bridge: Polito]
Stopped at a red light
Oh this old red light
My parents used a floppy disk so their advice ain’t good enough
Stopped at a red light
Stopped at a red light
I'm stopped at a red light
Stopped at a red light
Oh this old red light
My parents used a floppy disk so their advice ain’t good enough

[Verse 2: Bleu Santana]
If I'm not an entertainer
I would end up as a failure
All the jewelry was hanging by the time I got my major
Forty-five hundred acres on my plot of land
(Bury me)
Pray the only time you shed a tear is when you marry me
Our love has been around a lot longer than the centipedes
Just enough time for me and you to build a tendency

[Verse 3: Kalid Abdul]
This is my home
I have no title to be known by
I have no place to lay to rest
For if I ever died alone
I have no money for my folks
I have no stories for the books
It’s like an extended stay
With no space for me to look close
These are my people
They got my back
One day I’ll be equal
Yell at me to go back
Again
Standing over my shoulder
They tell me this is not my home
