lyrics

Hello world yeah I’m here without an invitation
they’ll probably never show me love on the radio station
but I’m not filled with jaded bitterness my heart is free of hatred
I’m just making statements based in righteous indignation
I never claimed to be the greatest
I’m just trying to make it happen man with my admitted limitations
these other rappers man they’re so-so-so-so basic
yeah let’s face it they just want to be famous paid generic and baseless
me I want to be remembered in this industry
as the epitome of creativity originality
won’t ever speak a fallacy cuz true talent’s not determined by your salary or any other technicalities
so let’s drop the dead weight like we’re counting calories
my whole career has been walking on the balance beam
between commercial and the cellar tip
my goal: bring intelligence back to relevance

you’re putting all these words together with thought heart depth
it’s a little too dense to make crowds wanna follow
so put a bunch of words together that don’t make sense
if it don’t make sense then it’s bound to make dollars

Pop tags shop bags cheddar cream cheese money
pop bottles champagne green trees pop molly
got jewels bling ice pushing Phantoms and Ferraris
hot models no tops freak-a-leeks wanna party

This game’s a joke that’s only meant for us to laugh harder
sometimes I look around and think that I’m the last artist
my only wish is take this business and this craft far
put that on my mother father grandmother grandfather
nobody’s perfect but I’m working cuz I’m certain
that I’m earning my stripes in the pursuit of this perfection
my stomach’s turning hunger yearning fire burning
higher learning through these sermons serving views of introspection

you’re putting all these words together with thought heart depth
it’s a little too dense to make crowds wanna follow
so put a bunch of words together that don’t make sense
if it don’t make sense then it’s bound to make dollars

Pop tags shop bags cheddar cream cheese money
pop bottles champagne green trees pop molly
got jewels bling ice pushing Phantoms and Ferraris
hot models no tops freak-a-leeks wanna party

You know sometimes to find the truth man
you gotta look behind the lie
so open your third eye
and read between the lines

Pop tags shop bags cheddar cream cheese money
pop bottles champagne green trees pop molly
got jewels bling ice pushing Phantoms and Ferraris
hot models no tops freak-a-leeks wanna party

My Trojan Horse
Trojan Horse
My Trojan Horse
Trojan Horse (Step Inside of)
My Trojan Horse
Trojan Horse
My Trojan Horse
Trojan Horse (Come and ride on my)
