Invested - Sapient

I’m an ace in the hole, embrace what evolved

Don’t play, you’ll get slapped in the face with my palm

Arms for the poor while I’m talking 'em all

Calm to the core while I wait for their fall

They’re running out like fossil fuels

Falling back on vocoders, chop-and-screwing it all up

Doing exactly what you’re not to do

Dumbing it down and sounding like Dr. Seuss

My boo says, «Oh, Sape, it’s okay

They can’t all flow great as you, they’ll rotate soon

And then you’ll get your turn

The dues will pay back in the respect you’ve earned»

Well that spotlights hot, right?

And tends to burn

So I gotta thicken my skin and shed some fur

But the kid don’t sweat, I’m like Imhotep

Doing things human beings don’t get

Yea

Invested

It’s a big, big risk

Either way I’m in a win/win sitch

If I die poor

At least I’ll get to look down from Hellven

Watching my great-grand kids get rich

Invested

It’s a big, big risk

Either way I’m in a win/win sitch

If I die poor

At least I’ll get to look down from Hellven

Watching my great-grand kids get rich

It’s not a matter of blowing up

I’m just tryna build this ark before the flood

So to stay ahead, yea I multitask

Hammer that nail, put those bolts in fast

Paying dues doesn’t mean a thing

I must kill producers and weak emcees

I gotta do the ruthless and evil deeds

Using nooses and guillotines, like uh

You must not be aware of how it works

Me and my peeps be inheriting the earth

While the meek be scared of getting buried in the dirt

Well, if you’re scared then go to church

I’ll protect this investment work

And like an indentured servant

Yea, I don’t rest, I burn it at both ends and turn it up

Doing things human beings are uncertain of

Invested

It’s a big, big risk

Either way I’m in a win/win sitch

If I die poor

At least I’ll get to look down from Hellven

Watching my great-grand kids get rich

Invested

It’s a big, big risk

Either way I’m in a win/win sitch

If I die poor

At least I’ll get to look down from Hellven

Watching my great-grand kids get rich

I’ve become this thing

I’ve become a beast

My peeps don’t know what to think

All the little underlings looking up to me

Hoping that I need company, but nada

They just really want someone to lead

And tell 'em to jump every time you say one, two, three

This is serious

But all the words of wisdom that seem to come from me

Are tongue-in-cheek

Yea, it’s a big, big risk

Either way I’m in a win/win sitch

If I die poor

At least I’ll get to look down from Hellven

Watching my great-grand kids get rich

You get murked, bitch

You don’t know?

Uh-huh

Now you already know

I already told you, but you might forget though

I’m fucking fresh, holmes

And I’ll rest when I’m dead, fuck a rest home (Sandpeeps)

You don’t know?

Uh-huh

Now you already know

I already told you, but you might forget though

I’m fucking dope, holmes

And I’ll sleep when I’m dead, pass the

You wanna hate, I’ll brush it off like a pimp’s shoulder

But why brush it off when I got a lint roller?

I’m a bit older, a bit wiser

You get pushed in strollers, in diapers

Big criers, whining and such

Like you’ve got sand in your vagina and butt

There’s only one thing to do, wipe that shit up

I’m killing, let’s celebrate

Put a smile on your mug

But please don’t cheese for too long

Or you’re gonna end up looking all sweet like RuPaul

Moulin Rouge, crossed with To Wong Foo

Thanks for everything, Julie Newmar, and stuff

You don’t know?

Uh-huh

Now you already know

I already told you, but you might forget though

I’m fucking fresh, holmes

And I’ll rest when I’m dead, fuck a rest home (Debaser)

You don’t know?

Uh-huh

Now you already know

I already told you, but you might forget though

I’m fucking dope, holmes

And I’ll sleep when I’m dead, pass the

I got a good work ethic

Plus Debaser’s killing it, good work, Ethic

I’ll bring those critters out the woodwork, breakfast

I don’t even have to cook first, seconds
