lyrics

Resting with your feet up on the cusp of millions
Excited for the meet up with the will o' the Williams
Is there ever going to be enough to go around
And baby, it's all gone now

When the pills are running low and the money's coming slow, maybe throw yourself another banquet
The clients come and then the clients go, but soon you're bound to be vacant
And baby, it's all gone now
Drinking it all in, 'cuz the future is back then
You committed yourself to the original sin
You act the fool, but don't know you're funny
Whatever's eating you is also making us hungry
I'll never forget the last day that we met
You gave me a blindfold and a cigarette
Screw up at the free clinic, cheap pop and an epidemic, and there's no conscience round in this Russian roulette
But don't think twice - it's all over now
You had the privilege, you had the pride
You sat self-satisfied while friends of mine died
You couldn't see the trees, you couldn't see the forest
You thought you saw the poor, you were a poverty tourist

Every single lie you tell in this stupor
You think you're being wry, music's got no future
And baby, it's all gone now (no future)
And baby, it's all gone now (no future)
And baby, it's all over now (no future for you)

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic
