Power

Lyrics

I been in the game for years! It made me an ani-mole From honor role on a roll To pawn to go on the whole Not a fan of the scam Since the sonogram Then Monihan said, "Man, you gotta scan The 48 Laws of Power May cause deflowerin Of your innocence, in a sense Teach how to devour" 1 Never outshine the master Even if cleverer or faster You'll never get too far If you reveal the true star you are Because it must offend A hierarchy's discrepancies 2 Never put too much trust in friends Learn how to use enemies or Spawn your mate's yawnin jaws of ingratitude That'a dude! 48 laws and platitudes! Envy, ire and friendly fire Hire the enemy My music makes ten 'a me 3 Conceal your intentions If they've no clue what you're up to They can't throw a wrench in the engine Guide them down the wrong path Make them do the long math 4 Always say less than necessary What you express can bury. Spare the Anecdote and a quote or risk a stigma Stay an enigma quiet as kept 5 Rep rep reputation is power's cornerstone Condone scorn and mourn alone You're born a clone 6 So court attention at all cost If people don't talk smack Then you're a small boss Fall across the limelight And even when I'm wrong I'm right Why fight? 7 Let others work for you and take the credit Don't forget, you're the big dick He's just the head of the clit 8 Get it the same as the W And Let the game come to you Use bait. Get a new fate Before it's too late 9 Who's next?: Khrushchev denounced Stalin's atrocities before hundreds of men "You were a colleague of Stalin's. Why didn't you stop him then?" "WHO SAID THAT?....................Now you know why..." A breath battle's a death rattle Words are weak, cause ill will Results speak, instill skill Step off the seesaw And let the man free-fall This is not what they teach in prelaw 10 Avoid the sad sack with bad luck He carries a high risk virus that stuck Hang with the fortunate Go towards the light with the torch in it 11 Keep people dependent To extend an ended friendship Life's not a rehearsal Most laws hold reversals Business never personal 12 Honesty works as an impassioned distraction It's a blunt tool like the sheath the scalpel is wrapped in Stow your force Use a trojan horse to open doors 13 Appeal to a need To implement a deed Mutual benefit's different from greed Begging for mercy will just make him thirsty And gratitude is an attitude leaders love to be freed from 14 Pose as a friend, work as a spy He disclose what he knows, the surface a lie Ask indirect questions to collect their intentions Arthur Schoepenhaur authored art for open power: If you think you're being deceived Act as if you believe This will give the speaker courage to continue And betray what's up his sleeve If you perceive he only halfway conceals Express doubt. The man will reveal his reserve And let the truth out 15 Crush your enemy totally Mush him like roadkill. He Won't be able to heal and avenge the violated He'll only stay silent if he's iron-plated annihilated 16 Absence makes the heart grow fonder Overstayed your welcome, go yonder No sponsor? 17 Create value through scarcity When you remove a product It becomes rare-- or appears to be 18 Eddie Fischer acted spazzily with Boris Spasky And served his ass for free. That's the key Put the psych in cyclone like i hype my mic-phone Isolation is nothing to write home about You can't avoid pain Conspiracies spring up like mushrooms after rain 19 Don't let your enemy engender energy entropy If he can't take pokin fun That's a smokin gun To break out in a broken run from town Clown an insecure man and he'll hunt you down Some are too blunt to come around 20 Never commit to anyone 21 To make your mark feel smart, act plenty dumb If youre a doogie howser, play a broody bouncer 22 Can't win? Surrender That don't make you a coward 48 laws of power sours naivete That'll be the day you learn to devour 23 Spread thin can't win and move in a lead skin Mom eats medicine to make a dead twin If she can afford only one son Concentrate your forces to the head of a pin 24 Do dirt, make an effort to be flirtier Be the perfect courtier A little birdy heard many more When we score. Another 24 Where there's riches there's robbery n Follow the scriptures of Robert Greene You'll be seen and make a lotta green Or pose as a non-player and Pour water through a screen While you read the menu We feed on sinew 25-48, to be continued
