Debt's Been Paid

Money's always been important, momma only had eleven
Daddy left when I was five and my sister only seven
Now we're growing home alone, got me feeling like Kevin
I got these bars like I'm gates, got that lucky number slevin

Lucky to be alive, but now I'm working for man
Chains on tires while I drive, through this icy wonderland
Everyone's so cold, cause this system has a plan
To hold you down forever, feels like we're running in quicksand

Now I know that there's a reason, for everything we do
And this isn't an act of treason, I'm just looking at the shoes
Of those who step on me to look down on my crew
This isn't old news, give em time... they'll walk on you

Cause money is the motivator, the gas inside their engines
I'm just a noted creator, putting words to all this tension
Richie's at the impound lot, greed's looking like a pension
One more worker on top holds them higher with suspension

It won't stop with me, and I know I'm not a hero
I just save myself through my music, but I'm more like Subzero
I do this for honor, Lin Kuei don't need your dinero
I'm more like a zombie, thanks George A Romero

This greed has a need, indeed to make us weak
I'm breaking expectations, planting seeds for the meek
I'll feed the indignation of my father as we speak
Because I'm further than he dreamed of, and I'm picking up speed

Cause I'm tired of thinking and drinking for the moment
Now I've learned some lessons, in sessions for some atonement
Grace is here for redemption, paying debts for my torment
Thanks for the food, the lamb's the final component
