Greed Songtext
von A‐Plus

One, two, now
It′s A-Plus and Hieroglyphics is the crew now
Presently showing you how to make a tune sound
Make the roof pound if you play the levels too loud
Impossible to cool down, make the ladies say, "Ooh, ow"
Brothers yelling
I still be rocking the party even though the other one is selling
Mr. A-Plus never was a felon
And I could be lying but no one is telling
I come from heaven and it's nice to meet you People be tripping, hella faulty′s how they like to treat you
You could think I'm slipping and you saucy but then I defeat you
Faulty images I can see through
You should try to be you
Instead of that nigga that you trying to be, dude
I could expose every copied carbon
But I'm making sure life never got me starving
I move making ′cause the tomb is waiting
And if you truly through with faking you′ll awaken
Or you could remain another through the break-in

There's more to life than what they all hollering
But the truth remain tolerant
And when you dead look where your dollar went
It should all be common sense
But take a look at what the single word greed got us in


So bad, you think you got to sin
Views darkening and then you caught again
Now you see there′s no defense against the consequences
It's all plain and simple
Refrain from simping about some shit you claim you been through
I′m taking the good with the bad things
I can remember when all I wanted was to have things
But now it's not what I give but what I can bring
To the sad scene, fat stacks cream
For the rap fiends with no acting
No unbelievable tale that you can see that is stale
All the pretending is seeming to fail
I won′t laugh when you are leaving to jail
'Cause the way this country is it could be me in the cell
Steady fiending for mail
But that's highly unlikely
I′m shining with the light so brightly
Blinding your sight, could leave you rewinding nightly
Reminding you politely of hip-hop performed tightly

There′s more to life than what they all hollering
But the truth remain tolerant
And when you dead look where your dollar went
It should all be common sense
But take a look at what the single word greed got us in
There's more to life than what they all hollering
But the truth remain tolerant
And when you dead look where your dollar went
It should all be common sense
But take a look at what the single word greed got us in

Hieroglyphics in the house, y′all
For y'all greedy bastards out there
That don′t have to be so bossy
I mean, it's like, I mean, we′ll accept you otherwise
