Supreme People Lyrics

[Verse 2]
Trapped like rats in mazes for the cheese
Every natural resource is here, we don't really need money

But certain people need power over people
They act like that cause they're trapped inside their ego-sphere
And now you can't feel free
Without material possessions, you can't just be
And without 'em you're left stressin', so anxiously
So you grab the Smith & Wesson, then aim, then squeeze
To get what's comin' to ya
The block's so hot, it blew the top off the thermometer
The rush for drama is more appealing than a plain life
Cause life is insane, so insanity is a sane life
It's so easy to see, simple as day and night
Supreme people born out of the way of the light
Into darkness, trying to fly straight

To some folks it's like being a fish swimming with sharks, shit!

Perhaps not since men turned their ears to the preachings of a mere prophet 2000 years ago have the words of humble men reached so many with such force. And, perhaps because it has been burning so long, now smoldering, now bursting into hot flames, now hastily covered over to smolder again until the next outbreak

[Hook]
Supreme (Supreme, Supreme) [repeat 8x]

[Verse 3]
Supreme people only want the best and a
Supreme people won't settle for less than a
Straight from royalty put inside projects and a
Capitalist system that don't make sense to ya
Supreme people put against the fence, get a
Bit irate and hostile if you ain't fixing the
Problem you created that made these conditions a
Little reparation for your acts are sin to us
Supreme people ride or die to get the bucks
Some by any means so, hey, lock your benzes up
Tuck your chain and watch and keep your defenses up
All they wanna do is live it up like you cause they're
[Hook]
Supreme (Supreme, Supreme) [repeat 8x]
