Supreme People - Blackalicious
Su-preme （Supreme, Supreme） （repeat 8x）
Su-preme people living with they backs aligned
Up against the wall cause these days are asinine
Living in a money matrix, How cats survive
Some will fade away and wither, others will blast a 9
Kings and Queens working 9 to 5's
And making nothing searching for a deeper purpose in life
This can't be life...
With all this work this can't be right...
Without no money in my pockets I just can't see right
I used to try to preach to young'ns like, "Do right kids"
Now-a-days all that I can say is, "Get it how you live"
Live how you get it, shit!
Don't nobody wanna get...
A promotion up to fry cook like little Calvin did
Some would rather take a gamble, hey they might do bids
The allure of fast money in this hell-bound system
Got you lookin' at two-hundred bucks a week versus
Like a thousand in a day
Tell me what makes more sense to these...
Su-preme （Supreme, Supreme） （repeat 8x）
Trapped like rats in mazes for the cheese
Every natural resource is here, We don't really need money
But certain people need power over people
They act like that cause they're trapped inside their EGO-sphere
And now you can't feel free （free）
Without material possessions, you can't just be （be）
And without 'em you're left stressin', so anxiously （anxiously）
So you grab the Smith & Wesson, then aim, then squeeze （squeeze）
To get what's comin' to ya
The block's so hot, it blew the top off the thermometer
The rush for drama is more appealing than a plain life
Cause life is insane, so insanity is a sane life
It's so easy to see, simple as day and night
Su-preme people born out of the way of the light
In the darkness, trying to fly straight
To some folks it's like being a fish swimming with sharks, shit!
"Perhaps not since men turned their ears the preachings of a mere prophet
2000 years ago have the words of humble men reached so many with such force
Perhaps because it has been burning for long, now smoldering
Now bursting into hot flames, now hastily covered over to smolder again
Until the next outbreak."
Su-preme （Supreme, Supreme） （repeat 8x）
Su-preme people only want the best and uhh
Su-preme people won't settle for less then uhh
Straight from royalty put inside projects in a
Capitalist system that don't make sense to ya
Su-preme people put against the fence, Get up!
Get irate and hostile if you ain't fixin' the
Problem you created that make these condition up
A little reparation for your acts are sent to us
Su-preme ride or die to get the bucks
Some by any means so hey, lock your Benz's up
Tuck your chain and watch and keep your defenses up
All they wanna do is live it up like you cuz they're
Su-preme （Supreme, Supreme） （repeat 8x）
SU-preme...
SU-preme...
SU-preme...
