[Intro] The truth about the distribution of wealth under American Capitalism To sum it up, our system is morally right In other words, it provides economic freedom Thus bringing about national progress We have seen how well our own system measures up We know that American Capitalism is morally right because it's chief elements: Private ownership, the profit motive, and the competitive market are wholesome and good They are compatible with God's laws, and the teachings of the Bible We must examine the distribution of the great wealth produced through the operation of American Capitalism Is the distribution widespread? Or is the wealth of America concentrated in the hands of a few While the great majority of people would suffer increasing poverty The fact is that American Capitalism has set a new standard for human welfare Now let's examine the distribution of wealth in another way [Verse 1 - Sly deSilva] All for a dollar, Lambo from Impalla Embezzle funds from Ghana to Guatamala Blood diamonds all up in my Ghost Money chain Blowing blood money stacks when I’m finna make it rain [Hook - Jagger James (Sly deSilva)] Working for days (You a slave for that minimum wage) Gotta get paid (Work half your life, throw the rest away) [Verse 2 - Jagger James] I work for my money, but it doesn’t work for me I work two or three jobs, call it 2017 Boy, I love my city, but it’s expensive to breathe Lost my frames, can’t afford lenses to see Jagger James, know the name, skipping breakfast to eat Get to job one of two, man or is it really three? I better pay this transit fare, just so I can make it there Half an hours work, just to work, that ain’t really fair Fair or not fair, I’m the chess piece, not the player True or not true, student loans got me making prayers Shudder when I think of what I owe, my dollar’s ghost My living situation ain’t the most, I can’t control Employers want my labor, want my body, not my soul Better pimp my butterfly, I want a little more Better get my dollar while I can to be sure Any way possible, sick of being poor [Interlude] Are these economic benefits under American Capitalism Being extended to American wage or salary earners? You may be wondering: "Who got all this money?" [Hook - Sly deSilva (Jagger James)] Working for days (I’m a slave for that minimum wage) Gotta get paid (Work half my life, throw the rest away) [Verse 3 - Sly deSilva] They say don’t work for your money, make your money work for you I do that, plus yours works for mine too Sly deSilva, I’m a menace Can’t buy happiness, but I could buy the senate Gotta spend it to make it, so your chips all in But you forgot I own the table and the house always wins Sly deSilva stacked the deck Now you grovel on your knees for this paltry cheque Since I blown up, rent’s gone up, you need more stuff Need more bucks? Got some dollars I could loan ya Interest rates that make you take marijuana Drug tests at work, so now you work the corner Slinging my product, making my profits 'Til my police pick you up for narcotics My prisons paid when they close the door and lock it End of the day, it’s just a dollar in my pocket [Verse 4 - Jagger James] What I gotta do to get a dollar in my pocket If I cannot get one soon then I’ma have to cock and lock it Taking money for the moment, renting cause I never own it [Outro] Who'd risk a guess as to the total amount of the national income During this amazing productive era in America "Trillions" Yes, it's up in the trillions You get writer's cramp with a figure like that

[Intro] Money, the root of all evil But is that really the truth? A social construct created just five thousand years ago Was the genesis of all the evil in the world? Ha! Who created money? Who gives money it it’s value? It stands to reason that if humans are the source of the root of all evil Then perhaps that same evil resides within [Verse 1 - Sly deSilva] I am the reason that things never change Too much profiting in staying the same The reason the slaves can’t cast off their chains The reason the poor rock big diamond rings Capitalism breeds capital lies Money is virtue and money is pride Money is worth, I felt it inside I heard a voice sounding so sanctified “Come on Sylvester, I could make your life better If you just do what I tell ya then you’ll have all of the cheddar” Now I get money in all types of ways Money for blood, money for pain Money is motive and motive is gain 18k watch but my soul has been stained Bottles on bottles on bottles of Ace Choppers go off, bodies get sprayed Product on product on product for days Target the poor, profit gets made So what would I do for a million dollars? I would drop knees, my soul I would offer I would do evil and help it to prosper I would help lead the lambs to the slaughter [Hook - Sly deSilva] Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? [Interlude 1] Money makes the world go ‘round It is the difference between freedom and servitude, life and death It’s funny, everyone fashions themselves a good person When they have never, ever, been desperate Perhaps you are not a good person Perhaps you have just never been pushed Perhaps your morals vanish when you see the money on the table And ask yourself, honestly What would I do for a million dollars? [Verse 2 - Jagger James] What would I do for a million dollars Grinding for years, hoping to prosper Sign enough deals to fill up my coffers Throw away morals and bury my conscience I want this money like rent on the first Sly sipping bubbly ‘cause he got the purse I’m drinking Jamie with friends after work Green with the envy my Benjamins hurt This money gon’ fall, my angels are cursed Considering ways I ain’t raised to make worth Baphomet staring, take up the offer Probably would buy my momma some Prada After all that’s what the devil wears I know I would sin just to get her there Decadence life of a millionaire Tell your friends running on true despair Kill a homie just to get me there Working three jobs ain’t got a prayer Fucking three broads charge ‘em all a fare Needing three lines you could snort ‘em later So what would I do for a million dollars? I know I would scream, I know I would holler Wondering if I would dead my own father I’m just tired of living in squalor [Hook - Sly deSilva] Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? [Interlude 2] Yes, take this money, take this power Take everything you want The world is yours my friend And you shall kneel before no man Follow me and you’ll have everything you desire Let go of petty morality, you are a god All I need is your soul in exchange Is that really, so much, to ask for? [Hook - Sly deSilva] Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire?

[Verse 1 - Jagger James] Rolling with the top down the way that my plot’s gone My whole life behind me I’m shocked, wow, I’m pop now Name drop an album, the board it will top now Never seen this outcome, I’m more than I was ‘bout Used to chill on the block, but I’m running these ops, how? Giving up everything on the path to run the town Niggas acting sideways and give me the runaround Now things run my way from record sales to repping clout Never acting reckless, been the witness, seen the weapons out Homies used to break ‘em down for parts, stock, grip and lock Sell the difference make some cash, legal shit no paper bags Applied the hustle to my game, trust, man, I can pay for that Remember in East Harlem? It was a dece apartment Three bodegas on the block - safe havens when shit started Stoop kids or corner kids, was neither wasn’t for the shit Bullet holes and boarded windows, just another morbid symbol Shit that you don’t wanna see, hallelujah honestly Last time I was home, I realized that I need to leave All the folks I left behind, the homies we had better times Surrounded by my posse, but it’s lonely on the other side Seen too many lost, executions and lock ups No more street shit, I’m getting my stock up Comfort, or risk it? It was a toss up Dream is Imperial, Bambi my poppa I pop up on the block, these streets paved cobblestone My posse packed tight, I walk past peeps I probably know Their fortunes ain’t right, car impounded and towed I hop back in mine thinking “where did life go?” Had to do some crooked shit, reminiscing got me shook a bit Now I’m booking all these hits, winnings always look convinced In the car I’m looking lit, premonitions took a bit My rearview mirror shining brighter with the ruined tint [Verse 2 - Sly deSilva] Close the suicide doors on my green Lamborghini Rolling past the poor and I’m hoping that they see me A victory lap for Mr. Big Stacks Been broke before and I’m never going back Never pay tax, never leave tracks, Never serve life, got fall guys for that Two million in cash in the back Blunt on the dash Heard the sirens but they drove right past Crashed they stocks and foreclosed they homes They ain’t lock me up, they lock up Jerome Bank still gon’ deny they loan But they feel superior in they mobile homes The yellow lines stretch into the sunset I look to the sky, it’s the colour of bloodshed Green in my eyes, I be getting my funds and White outlines for anybody who gunning In this zero sum game, I go zero to sixty Bullet to your brain if it grows my empire quickly They say Rome wasn’t built in a day I say Rome wasn’t built without some motherfucking slaves I’m the slavemaster, sick bastard, rich cracker Crack that whip, make me my money faster Money from the business and money from crack White man paid off of all of that Now it’s riots in the streets, a country divided Try and sell ‘em on the hate and these stupid fuckers buy it Took everything they had and they liked it 'Til I turned around Shorted all the markets and invested in China The lies are real, the news is fake Russia Today says America’s Great Into the sunset, clean getaway Can’t do shit like I got diplomat plates

about

Upon a backdrop of increasing income inequality and social injustice, Sly deSilva and Jagger James deliver an electrifying mix of nihilistic bangers and thoughtful reflections. With ruthless bars over nocturnal instrumentation, these two adversarial forces face off over morality and wealth, creating the perfect soundtrack for life in an era of unrestrained capitalism.
