Inspired by capitalism, monarchy, possession being 9/10's of bike ownership, and the second verse of "Onslaught 2" by Slaughterhouse.
lyrics
I'm your favorite rapper's favorite reference.
What you see as rich would have me leaping to my death.
I cannot be in the cesspool with the essence of the lessers.
My bank account counts every grain of sand sand in every desert!
Richer than whichever Pope's selected.
The presidential suite is seven floors up from your heaven!
Appointed by dead presidents it's just like an election.
Your dollar is your vote and now it's safe in my collection;
It's MY vote now! Yeah, democracy's a wonderful thing, no
I meant capitalism, cause my number's extreme!
Lord Protector of the provolone the Gouda and brie
King Triton, I reign supreme, under the "C".
More bread than most governments see
More lettuce than a hundred bunnies dream of in their wildest hopes
A rising tide lifts all boats
And your shoulders are the tide and I'm tryna float
So let's go!
I got the deed to the ocean, all the clams
I'm leaving you all the dams: BLAME IT ON THE BEST
Your wallet's hollow, small, my safe's a hallowed hall
That's right, it's all my fault! BLAME IT ON THE BEST
The world is sink or swim, from sea to sea
And I hoard all the gil so I'm able to breathe
Waterworld, while you search your whole life for any dry earth left
I surf the crest: BLAME IT ON THE BEST
And 'cause my M.O.'s getting paid
I'm selling your side the gats, and your foes the grenades.
The dough's in my safe, and i ain't got no qualms
When your goals are the same, you know it's a shame
How you soul gets inflamed from rage over rivals
Put 0's in my bank, I'll trade them for rifles
Now go and be great put holes in their faces!
I hope you both grow old holding several cases
Of my merchandise. Perfect prices keep you all returning.
Loyal clients put their targets in infirmaries.
I'm determined for infinite pay
I got a several water towers fulla shiny thangs to swim in.
I doc my frontliners' pay
So i can find more chains for this shrine to cake I'm building.
The Babel Tower Bling to the sky
I got billion dollar doctors, I ain't never gonna die!
You can't kill a god, you gotta feel in awe
You got no dosh u gotta: BLAME IT ON THE BEST
Don't like your job? That ain't hard to solve
You can get swapped, like *pop*: BLAME IT ON THE BEST
Yeah my money's stained in red
But when green's all u see, every flavor's fresh
It's American as genocide when angry men wake upset
And spray the tecks: BLAME IT ON THE BEST
That monkey paw wish curse money
"What's a novel?" swap the brand, FULL TIME TERF money
Searchlight my emblem in the sky, like the Dark Mark
Got a monopoly on knowing where the party starts
(It's lit), where ever my clique land, we thrive
(Exclusive), don't hate, eat cake outside
I hear your gathering collapsing into violence and why?
Y'all shoulda known that with honey you attract more flies
Now there's action for the ravenous riot cops and there's riot talk
Like any time your voices pierce silence, mi'swell find a socket
Stick a fork in it, you're done, you're tased
Swarm the coppers if ya gotta, still my fun's unphased
I'm a whole super villain, don'tcha come my way
I ain't scared, I got, gear, goons, guns for days!
Want MY head in a basket? What a way to make a death, i mean
Who really needs a neck when you're greatest brain and head?
I did that! Your jealousy can't stain my flex
I came for checks: BLAME IT ON THE BEST
Look at you! So small you gotta make me less
Insects: BLAME IT ON THE BEST
I’m a monster on the loose, you’re a peasant
You ain’t safe with me round here, I’m T Rex!
I ain’t even got lungs and my tongue got you snowflakes pressed
You're so obsessed: BLAME IT ON THE BEST.

Khemmeta's music strives to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves, or are shouted down when they do. His upcoming
EP "When I Get To It" produced by Stephonathan (1/3 of both Pride City Purpose & Chedda Guap Boyz) is silly, nerdy, romantic, anti-nihilistic and defiant. He can't wait for you to get to it this [December]....more
