Power

I been in the game for years!

It made me an ani-mole

From honor role on a roll

To pawn to go on the whole

Not a fan of the scam

Since the sonogram

Then Monihan said,

"Man, you gotta scan

The 48 Laws of Power

May cause deflowerin

Of your innocence, in a sense

Teach how to devour"

1

Never outshine the master

Even if cleverer or faster

You'll never get too far

If you reveal the true star you are

Because it must offend

A hierarchy's discrepancies

2

Never put too much trust in friends

Learn how to use enemies or

Spawn your mate's yawnin jaws of ingratitude

That'a dude!

48 laws and platitudes!

Envy, ire and friendly fire

Hire the enemy

My music makes ten 'a me

3

Conceal your intentions

If they've no clue what you're up to

They can't throw a wrench in the engine

Guide them down the wrong path

Make them do the long math

4

Always say less than necessary

What you express can bury. Spare the

Anecdote and a quote or risk a stigma

Stay an enigma quiet as kept

5

Rep rep reputation is power's cornerstone

Condone scorn and mourn alone

You're born a clone

6

So court attention at all cost

If people don't talk smack

Then you're a small boss

Fall across the limelight

And even when I'm wrong I'm right

Why fight?

7

Let others work for you and take the credit

Don't forget, you're the big dick

He's just the head of the clit

8

Get it the same as the W

And Let the game come to you

Use bait. Get a new fate

Before it's too late

9

Who's next?:

Khrushchev denounced Stalin's atrocities before hundreds of men

"You were a colleague of Stalin's. Why didn't you stop him then?"

"WHO SAID THAT?....................Now you know why..."

A breath battle's a death rattle

Words are weak, cause ill will

Results speak, instill skill

Step off the seesaw

And let the man free-fall

This is not what they teach in prelaw

10

Avoid the sad sack with bad luck

He carries a high risk virus that stuck

Hang with the fortunate

Go towards the light with the torch in it

11

Keep people dependent

To extend an ended friendship

Life's not a rehearsal

Most laws hold reversals

Business never personal

12

Honesty works as an impassioned distraction

It's a blunt tool like the sheath the scalpel is wrapped in

Stow your force

Use a trojan horse to open doors

13

Appeal to a need

To implement a deed

Mutual benefit's different from greed

Begging for mercy will just make him thirsty

And gratitude is an attitude leaders love to be freed from

14

Pose as a friend, work as a spy

He disclose what he knows, the surface a lie

Ask indirect questions to collect their intentions

Arthur Schoepenhaur authored art for open power:

If you think you're being deceived

Act as if you believe

This will give the speaker courage to continue

And betray what's up his sleeve

If you perceive he only halfway conceals

Express doubt. The man will reveal his reserve

And let the truth out

15

Crush your enemy totally

Mush him like roadkill. He

Won't be able to heal and avenge the violated

He'll only stay silent if he's iron-plated annihilated

16

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

Overstayed your welcome, go yonder

No sponsor?

17

Create value through scarcity

When you remove a product

It becomes rare-- or appears to be

18

Eddie Fischer acted spazzily with Boris Spasky

And served his ass for free. That's the key

Put the psych in cyclone like i hype my mic-phone

Isolation is nothing to write home about

You can't avoid pain

Conspiracies spring up like mushrooms after rain

19

Don't let your enemy engender energy entropy

If he can't take pokin fun

That's a smokin gun

To break out in a broken run from town

Clown an insecure man and he'll hunt you down

Some are too blunt to come around

20

Never commit to anyone

21

To make your mark feel smart, act plenty dumb

If youre a doogie howser, play a broody bouncer

22

Can't win? Surrender

That don't make you a coward

48 laws of power sours naivete

That'll be the day you learn to devour

23

Spread thin can't win and move in a lead skin

Mom eats medicine to make a dead twin

If she can afford only one son

Concentrate your forces to the head of a pin

24

Do dirt, make an effort to be flirtier

Be the perfect courtier

A little birdy heard many more

When we score. Another 24

Where there's riches there's robbery n

Follow the scriptures of Robert Greene

You'll be seen and make a lotta green

Or pose as a non-player and

Pour water through a screen

While you read the menu

We feed on sinew
