I study each face as they grace us at the door
cause some of ya'll are sneaky snatchin' goods to make 'em yours
The cameras are plenty, but your wallets nearly empty
Well Crooks will rob you if they wanna, dreaming bigger than they oughtta
Phonies scheming tricky make me hope they find some meaning
Foolish youth be acting silly like a its Halloween and
Getting mad props from robbin corner marts like hardknocks
To all you deviants: I pray you listen when the lord knocks
Yeah we know about that crime
thieves and punks shop here all of the time
greedy ill or needy
i know they always will be
walkin right through the front doors like me
It seems TV scenes get us Jonesin' for some soul man,
Buying branded merchandise attempt to.fill the hole in
Hooked up on these labels that can change us yes they able
So many brands invade us that ours brains are never stable
Some are Permanent like those that get us in the cradle,
other trends are fed direct your television cable
My generation on a quest for Nothin but the profits
Identities r born behind the screens in our apartments
Yeah we know about that crime
thieves and punks shop here all of the time
greedy ill or needy
i know they always will be
walkin right through the front doors like me
We garnish all our spaces and our minds tchochotchke labels
Thinkin that to boost the goods would really prove your name, bro?
Well All thiis Matter, well, it splatters, a disaster!...
Material culture rob your soul until its blacker
Accessorize your status bogus logos, like a master,
Secure a reputation? your clique will change it faster
Thugglets seeking out the nooks in corners of the -shop,
Liftin brows at workers stashing goods in different spots
Even with alarms there isn't nothing stoppin' thieves
The censor tags to them no more than just a petpeeve
The business effort levels chug away like tom the train
but to say I think I can would mean that I believe in change
You gotta keep ita clever under pressure if youre ever
Jazzing with a crew that wants to rob and steal together
Tell the gang to stop and your head theyll surley sever
Endevours that are better tell a tale that they'll remember
Make em' tremble, prison visions, isolations sure phase em
Insanity reminds us freedoms needed for the way
Time and wisdom too are needed in this proclamation
Morality to some is lost or on another wavelength
