Invisible Hand

[Intro] Scratches by DJ Element [Verse 1] I moved to the city with an ideal vision But I feel quite different since my light bill's risen Cause my life's real mission is to entertain And this game's never played on a level plane So while these groupie motherfuckers getting center stage I open up to earn the dues that they never paid They try to piss on my lawn and call it lemonade So I'mma have to settle this the armageddon way Well, I think middle finger number one is reserved For backpackers that act like they're muttering nerds You can't carry the torch when you're so spineless (Are those glasses a fashion choice?) No, I'm blind, bitch And middle finger number two belongs to the tweeters Who can't pack a show but got an onslaught of readers I sweat for my props and I spend my profits While you only get pounds for a trending topic HA! [Hook] Scratches by DJ Element [Verse 2] They say blood's thicker than Poland Spring But to some folks there isn't a colder drink So keep your veins covered when these fanged suckers approach Cause if you talk out of turn they gonna puncture your throat And I've been told I'd be signed in a New York minute If I wore tighter jeans and a New York fitted "If that doesn't work, we can try a different gimmick, though Do a fiddler on the roof and put you in hasidic clothes" Label heads told me I'm the freshest in the east A menace and a beast without the kennel and the leash Battle vets told me I'm a legend in the streets But if I want something higher, they won't let me get a piece But who's to say I can't kumite 'em out their foolish ways And get a new arrangement? Otherwise I'm administering euthanasia At the last second, I'mma ask 'em, "Who can save you?" [Hook]
