The Plot Thickens The Palmer Squares (Ft. Umphrey's McGee)

[Terminal Knowledge]
Now they're talking about what's marketable
How in order to sharpen your note, you gotta squander both your heart and your soul
I'm awfully indignant, trying to live blissfull and ignorant
It'll slip through my fingers if opportunity knocks
Drop all them fraudulent gimmicks
Hedging the bets, they try to soften your image
Steps to success that'll cost the percentage
Left in debt from investments and wrongful intentions
Direct from the source, it's a corporate message
In the form of a special endorsement, bless the lord
I hack and choke my way through pulmonary circulation
Rappers are broke because they only pay impersonators
Bottom line the movement is over, lobotomized
All you occupy is a consumerist culture
Now, some do it to eat, some do it for closure
Some lose their esteem, some lose their composure
Some choose to believe they're a troop or a soldier
But they’re pawns on the front line at dawn when the sun rise
Lost but it don't mind, financially desperate
In the presence of management they stand at attention
Pockets low on cash putting knowledge over swag
Talking loads of trash if it's not some balderdash
The second that you sign a check you step inside the lion's den
Don't ever let the seventh sign jeopardize your righteousness
