pay attention

I think you should pay attention
I think maybe you should listen
I think you should pay attention
I think maybe you should listen

They say it's lonely up here at the top
Especially if you don't give what you got
They say they aren't asking for a lot
But the asking never stops
And if you say no you're the villain
If you ain't givin ain't much you gettin
Listen
I think you should pay attention
There's a couple things people fail to mention

Can't make that house a home on your pension
This world treats everybody different
If your skin is dark you don't have feelins
Your opinion is worthless if you don't have millions
Listen
They don't even wanna feed the children
Might as well enjoy the days that you been given
I told you that you should pay attention
So many things you might be missin

And if you say no you're the villain
If you ain't givin ain't much you gettin
Listen
I think you should pay attention
There's a couple things people fail to mention

I think you should pay attention
I think maybe you should listen
I think you should pay attention
I think maybe you should listen

It doesn't matter Muslim, Jew or Christian
None of this was ever really about religion
They keep you blind, so you can't see the vision
Greatest form of control is always to spread division
People are less than people because they're different
Why even help each other out of these conditions?
Drag the next man down if he has too much ambition
Walkin' off the ledge just to follow a politician

That shit makes me question my existence
Sometimes it makes me sad to enjoy livin'
Keep going, don't let the world make you give in
People aren't worth it, they already failed the mission
The only thing you need is time away and distance
Your passion
Your mind
Resilience and persistence
They say you can't afford to be inconsistent
Tell you to follow the path of the most resistance

Cause if they tell you the truth
It might be better for you
If you love what you do
Then they call you a fool
They say you won't succeed
Tell you who you should be
Because of their greed
They won't set you free
Its all just made up
The real currency's love
Who gives two fucks
when the money's enough

Its all just made up
The real currency's love
But who gives two fucks
When the money's enough

And if you say no you're the villain
If you ain't givin ain't much you gettin
Listen
I think you should pay attention
There's a couple things people fail to mention

I think you should pay attention
I think maybe you should listen
I think you should pay attention
I think maybe you should listen
