Lyrics for Trickeration

Buy seven, give an eighth one free though They overcompensating, rolling quarters into Speedos They make you sell tickets to a play To rock a show that's happening a whole 'nother day Your frozen yogurt is a lie Machines full of unused boba in disguise It's all a big sports debate show They make them choose opposite stances, this shit is fake, bro They mark up as a miracle A thousand-dollar price tag, six-dollar materials Madea movie on the tube And I'm sorry to inform you the grandmother is a dude They like to say that we're post-racial So they can give us MGK and take Ghostface At the supermarket, shit annoys me I'm still tripping, how they getting milk from a soy bean Trickeration (it's a trick) Trickeration (So easy to trick) One foot in the Rockaways, one foot in the Upper West People in shock today, even after supper rest Rubberneckers see washed-up boardwalks and gravlax The hyphen in "have-not" is a knife in the padlock Keep receipts for price-gauge tax return Shacks and earn, give your taciturn ass a turn Nuance... needs are the new wants You still clip coupons if your orbit's the Forbes list Somewhere out there are trillionaires who abhor it They don't stroke their double-chin billy-goat hair They don't stand out and rap like they really don't care Feels good to agree with the means you chill in your chair Stalwarts in all sorts, their serves in our ball courts Push over tennis wall, when it falls transforms to small forts Now let's rest for a full note This text is just filler, the best is the pull quote (You're fucking with my head Michael!) Twist your cool-ass mustache But pretty soon you'll realise Riff Raff is just a cheap gag I'd rather receive a left hook from Seth Brook's dad I think his last name is Binzer, a model yogi is Master Splinter But you should already know that. This is absolutely one crazy town And I get along fine for another lazy hound Like the waitress lazily recites the side dishes for the night (Yuck) My dude, I don't want none of these Wearing purple robes like my name is Empedocles And I'm hella suspicious Indeed, that's how they swindle and rob you Seeing the next man has a Kindle and think "so should I, too" Standing on the highest tower in Hyrule The black Power Ranger waves down, "hi fools" Ayo, this culture is mad dubious When it comes to collecting rupees, I'm the poopiest And when it comes to adult modelling, I'm the nudiest Surf my pay-to-play website where I parade around in fabric skintight They'll convince you that you do wrong I tricked you like the dude at the end of the MF DOOM song "Yo yo yo, y'all can't stand right here In his right hand was your man's worst nightmare Loud enough to burst his right eardrum close range The game is not only dangerous but it's most strange"
