De La Soul - Poetic Greed lyrics

rate me

Greed got you thinkin you're speedin up, when you really slowing down

Got your eyes bigger than anything your arms could ever fit around

And still, you want more... always more...

Satisfaction guaranteed but never comes

Bend you backwards into believing it's your birthright to own the world

Excessive, too many cars in the garage

Bling on every finger, possessions pulling at you

Poisoned by that money mentality

Your vision ain't clear for them designer shades

Can't even see the sky, only empty space to buy

The pursuit of paper got you running so fast after that green

Drowning in things, tangled in your own tenacity

Desire for that dollar...
