Escape the Trappings

Some were born with a silver spoon
I was born with a chip on my shoulder
Contortionist dilemma
Conform to the molds of shareholders
But I retired at eighteen years old
To become homeless
Now I take from the rich
And I share with the poor
The more the merrier learn a lesson of import
The sort that's scarier you'll be blessed if you consort
Behind the barrier where the messy getting born
The rich Iscariot trading vestiges of more
Less for sparing up yeah the message set in stone
Slowly chisel away the visual basis
Schism is daily
Christen a baby living with aids
Its God's business don't hate
You're minimum wage venture will pay
Send him to center of stage
That's the best play

Preach it to reach for the fame
Preach it to reach for the fame
Preach it to reach for the fame
Instead of teaching
How to be happy
Escape from the trap and the trappings
Escape from the trappings
Preach it to reach for the fame
Preach it to reach for the fame
Instead of teaching
How to be happy
Escape from the trap
And escape from the trappings
Escape from the trappings

Content not with the worst
Content with the perfect
Content is not worthless
If art is the purpose
Otherwise shirk it
Or else find some Novelty
Cobble together a quite uncommon theme
Obviously not to the point that it's jarring
But harvest that crop
And watch what you reap
Become conscious
While others just argue with straw men
And call the the department of lawmen
Enforcing Jim Crow
Cuz they wanna just murder regardless
But all of the thoughtlessness will create martyrs
Just ponder it, the concept of karma might calm the din
