Versailles

[Verse 1: billy woods]

Money went same as it came

Money spent, it was all pocket change

End of the day, day-traders make minimum wage

Pennies on the dollar once it's all said and paid

Penny stocks, stocking cap pulled over the face

Out of habit, the presidents facing the same way

Somebody made a killing, I just dug the grave

Capital gains, and gains (And gains, and gains)

Skim the indictment for old code names

Little Sambo grinning on a can of pomade

Dueling banjos open the stock exchange

Paper chasing, it hard to stay on thе same page (It is)

"No hard feelings" the turn of phrasе, Twain adapted for the stage

A lifetime in the game, now the league folding

Contracts voided, Mohamed Atta, fly in the ointment

It's hot on these streets, monsieur, I might shoot a Arab

If it's hot on the beach, the plug just jet to Paris

[Verse 2: Despot]

One in a million makes a killing off the curb

Nine ninety-nine thousand, nine ninety-nine in the dirt

A sign above my head to count how many patrons served

Every time the number flips somebody get what they deserve

God is watching but I guess he got a lot of cheeks to turn

Ain't no shoulder colder once the fire die from bridges burned

Keep your mind off what is mine or you'll be smilin' on a shirt

It ain't ever over 'cause the fat lady forgot the word

Rain or sleet or famine and disease, I'm in the streets steppin'

With a reason, somebody deceased dangling from each necklace

Stuck inside the belly of the beast, she forty weeks pregnant

Might pull out the hammer, hit your knees and check your reflexes

Feeling like a million bucks - all twenties

And all I got is time and I heard that this shit's money

So you can count on me if you ain't in a big hurry

If you got mouths to feed I'ma make sure they stay hungry

God bless the child that took yours and got away with it

Won't testify if he caught and holla, "They did it"

Thought all this time that he bought was what he'd take with him

Fiends take the drugs and have dreams with his face in 'em

[Outro: Despot]

If you want it on the arm I charge an arm and a leg

And every other body part until there's none of 'em left

They say they'll miss you when you're gone until they find out they next

'Cause every dollar that you drop is stacked on top of their heads

If you want it on the arm I charge an arm and a leg

And every other body part until there's none of 'em left

They say they'll miss you when you're gone until they find out they next

'Cause every dollar that you drop is stacked on top of their heads
