Death of a Profiteer

Bossman said he ain't got enough to go around But he got bread he don't want you to know about He took it from the sick and the poor Now his plate full and he ain't never gonna dough it out Ain't no shock that buddy got How could he be stopped? Well, fuck it, that's how Spent my whole life looking up at that spot Then drop, now he looking up at us now And I'm sure he'd agree that murder ain't good But death is okay sometimes (sometimes) As long as a loss can create a gain for someone who needs that, right? So we can agree (huh? What?) So we can agree (okay) Sometimes a death is a need For you, it was money For us, it was just to be free Ain't that funny? (Ain't that funny?) Not so fun when the tables get turned Ain't that funny? (Ain't that funny? Ain't that funny?) See the-, see the bossman's bread goes straight to the lawman Lawman says, "I can make a couple calls, man" Bossman says, "Now we can have it all, man" Then they both laugh, what a real good system! If the biz requires a victim Guess what? Then the biz shouldn't be here Your denial of claims and a ludicrous price will kill ten thousand just this year See, the boss don't know what it's like to be broke And what he don't know just killed him If you ain't want smoke, when our back's to the ropes Then you should've thought of that when you billed them Maybe I'm being too crazy Maybe I'm not crazy enough Lot of folks be taking their life just when they're 'bout to speak up Something 'bout that timing is weird Something 'bout that timing is strange Don't make me pull up their names So it's fine when you blow the ones with a whistle But we hit back, suddenly, we got an issue Never before have I seen the opposition move so fast Just to catch a man with a pistol Maybe they were shocked that we aimed so high When we normally aim across the aisle And the minute they think we think that we're on the same side They lose their smile, huh Ain't that funny? (Ain't that funny?) Not so fun when the tables get turned Ain't that funny? (Ain't that funny? Ain't that funny?) I guess music and life really ain't so different Looks like we both need a hit, man If you big leagues don't stop acting like fools You gon' end up on someone else's list, man
