Earn Your Way In

Lyrics

[Intro: The Jokerr] They're not the same way you are The same way I am They're not the same way you are The same way I am Collective Chaos! [Verse 1: FM] Why does everybody think that it's okay To lie and cheat and play their under-handed games All so that they can try to justify their hate And say that you're some kind of person that they can spray Especially when they're all supposed to be family Gangin' 'em up on me's part of the strategy If it's in them all, then I'm down for the tragedy When I sever the head of a simpleton savagely I got a knife in my back from the eagle attack From the people who lack talent To get advice from a hack, their rappin'll be whack So I'm givin' 'em a smack challenge I'm never the one to be takin' no days off Keepin' it monotone, your tones is way off Leavin' 'em full of regret while you stackin' your debt And I bet that you never get paid off I've been rappin' since way back But I perfected my sound and then came back But a couple of punks turned their nose up my stuff And now guess who's charge of the payback? Me! Now it's awful, tryna become so unstoppable You could grovel, but your never gonna be profitable Chop the soft, the top, it's never gonna be possible Now I got the kind of rocks to rock the brothel (Ha!) I'm at the point of perfection I'm guessin' by now that your learnin' your lesson I'm gatherin' fans from ever direction Makin' you sick with my lyric infection Your nothin' but a rapping poacher What you said about me ain't even kosher If it happens again, you can bet that I'ma rip 'em apart And I'ma leave 'em for Jokerr [Chorus: The Jokerr] They're not the same way you are, the same way I am Their motives are different, their values are different They're lookin' at you as a means to an end They're not the same way you are, the same way I am Their actions betray their intentions If they really love, then they're gonna earn their way in Yeah, they're gonna earn their way in I'm keepin' defenses until they Earn their way in I'm watching you ever so closely to see if you Earn your way in Yeah, as much as I hate, they just gotta earn their way in (Yo, yo) [Verse 2: The Jokerr] I've been bending over backwards for these Motherfuckers for a long, long while now I've been turnin' stones for these bitches Throne' for these bitches, if it's ever goin' down I've been standin' up for my people, let me know When the wind and cold comes, I'll be there But when I need 'em in my corner equally, I'm like, "Where?" Where? where? Where? Where? Where? It's a fundamental injustice And I didn't come to expect it like clockwork I would've been the man to take the damn bullet For 'em, but would they for me? I'm not sure Man, I'm not sure if they motivations Is ever truly aligned with mine But it takes a lot of motherfuckin' pressure To show what you're made of in a diamond mind I'm tryin' to find a way to phrase it Tryin' to find a way to save it I'm tryin' to not be cynical I'm tryin' to not be completely enraged with hatred There's nothing wrong with the relationship It's just all in the way you frame it But you go lettin' these people too cross Too soon to let go, the game is dangerous See, human ambition has fangs And hidden agendas and secret arrangements Motherfuckers they can lie to your face And stand there and smile and blink at you shameless Do you see what I'm sayin'? I've just had a lot of me burned I'm just tryin' to share what I've learned Loyalty's gotta be earned [Chorus: The Jokerr] They're not the same way you are, the same way I am Their motives are different, their values are different They're lookin' at you as a means to an end They're not the same way you are, the same way I am Their actions betray their intentions If they really love, then they're gonna earn their way in Yeah, they're gonna earn their way in I'm keepin' defenses until they Earn their way in I'm watching you ever so closely to see if you Earn your way in Yeah, as much as I hate, they just gotta earn their way in
