Lucre - Billy Woods

They say god remakes the world every day

But the amount of good and evil/he never change

It’s said that you pay for what you do

But to see bad men buried with honor is nothing new

I often hear hard work is it’s own reward

And that the world is promised to the meek and the poor

I take that like a kiss from a whore

I take that like a kiss from a whore

High concepts written in a cold sweat

Fever high like the price of gold get

Or high capacity clips from the grandfathered Tec

What you expect with a black president-elect?

Warned em

Fire Next Time but they fucking slept

Yet

I still felt bad when your mothers wept

Existentialist questions

Like Blood or Crip?

Seats catcher’s mitt soft in the gutta whip

Petit bourgeoisie hold power/butter grip

Clandestine meeting/foreign government

Money up front/signed over the publishing

Whisky neat/cigars blunt/we talked circles

Oak paneled study

Discussin' how and when to murk you

They say god remakes the world every day

But the amount of good and evil/he never change

It’s said that you pay for what you do

But to see bad men buried with honor is nothing new

I often hear hard work is it’s own reward

And that the world is promised to the meek and the poor

I take that like a kiss from a whore

I take that like a kiss from a whore

He’s a vet with no stripes who changed sides twice to save his life

Still got spotted, pulled out the crowd and shot twice

Women avert their sight

Stray dogs lingered as the body lay in the street till night

Illustrating the might of snapping the right finger

Change in pitch/expression on face/a brief gesture

That holds weight like a snitch at the bottom of a cold lake

Anwar Sadat

Death parade

Warm coke sipped in the shade/he dreams of the day

Women guard him like Quaddafi

Bedouin tents Amazons in epaulettes/Tunisian property

Mom used to say «if you’re going to do it, do it properly»

Everything must go is how the sign translate

Approximately

300 K in the suitcase/give or take/the price of Monopoly

Utilities and railroads in Baltic States/We made a mockery

Of all you held dear/from Good Hope to Cape Fear

Manilla envelopes/Anglo-American De Beers

For he’s a jolly good fellow/ Three cheers

They say god remakes the world every day

But the amount of good and evil/he never change

It’s said that you pay for what you do

But to see bad men buried with honor is nothing new

I often hear hard work is it’s own reward

And that the world is promised to the meek and the poor

I take that like a kiss from a whore

I take that like a kiss from a whore
