lyrics

[Verse 1]
I just hit a lick, and dipped, out the door with the cash
No getaway driver, no gun and no mask (heh)
Sly deSilva, the corporate crime killer
Went up inside the Bank of America rich and left richer
The poster boy for late stage capitalism
I get the bag, no cap, and the safe too
The illest villain with the business suit
(Gimme the loot)
Pockets overflowing and I still rob you (heh)
Just copped the Wu-Tang album from the feds
Now I’m ridin’ round, bumpin’ “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin”
Had to do it for my boy, Shkreli
They locked him up, but they never gon’ stop us winnin’
Wall Street still stealin’, drug corps still dealin’
Police still ridin’ ‘round the hood set trippin’
Snoop Dogg still crippin’, Mike Jones still tippin’
And Sly deSilva still been the All-American Villain (ha)
If life’s a game then I’m winnin’
Infinite money cheat code feelin’
When I catch heat never go to prison
Let the cash speak so I’m never givin’
Self-incriminatin’ information to the prosecution
That be prostitutin’ justice
To the highest who been biddin’ for their freedom
Treatin’ Lady Law like she be a seasoned whore
Full service paid for
Fuckin’ say my name more!
(Sly deSilva!)
Money shot on the court floor
(hahahaha)

[Interlude - Naomi Smith]
He is a shadow that wears suit and tie
Marks, marked by his green eye
Risen from the lake of fire
He walks the earth, intent most vile
Greased palms, subprime bonds and napalm
His instruments, violent songs composed
Glistening jewelry drips with blood
In his footprints, nothing can grow

[Verse 2]
I’m in yo’ state, hangin’ with yo’ senators
Might donate, if they returnin’ the favors
Pay to play legislation forcin’ out my competitors
The federal government never been able to get at us (heh)
The real Super Predator
White devil always with the W
Iraq War progenitor
Rackets alway with the W like Roger Federer
Never benevolent when it comes to getting cheddar up (yup)
Warren Buff with the money rap penmanship
Wall Street predator preying upon the penniless
Me and the president shredding the fucking evidence
Counting percentages from the lick
You know white people, get money don’t spend it
Or maybe we get money buy a business
I’d rather buy the Justice Department and all the prisons
Free all the homies that never told on my business (ha)
Free Madoff, free Stanford, free Martin Shkreli
All my white collar criminals, we got to be ready
Get the fetti, get the paper, leave reasonable doubt
Put the villains in charge, snatch the green and be out

[Outro]
TREY GOWDY:
You want to educate the members of congress about drug pricing?
Or what you called the “fictitious case against you”?
Or we could even talk about, the purchase of a…
Is it Wu-Tang Clan?
Is that the name of the album?
Name of the group?

MARTIN SHKRELI:
On the advice of council I invoke my Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination and respectfully decline to answer your question

TREY GOWDY:
Uh… Mr. Chariman… I am… I am… stunned
That a conversation about an album he purchased could possibly subject him to incrimination”
