Jewels and Gems Lyrics

[Intro]
Ladies and gentlemen I've got words for sale, who wants to buy my words? Well I've got the perfect word for you sir, how about prick? Listen. Come buy my words. Ladies and gentlemen, come

[Catch]
I've got jewels (he's got jewels)
I've got gems (he's got gems)
I've got a remedy for all your problems
We are your enemy, we are your friends
And we a cure for all your papers and pens

[Verse 1]
They say a picture's worth a thousand words
I disagree
To me a scripture's worth a thousand pictures
Just one word can inspire visions
Inspire plenty of 'em
Plus you can't describe pictures without the words

For this i bring you my jewels and gems
The tools of men
Used by the wise the fools the who's the whens
The wheres the whats
Why we're here because
Nobody knows
the world before the future's end
They say that when you blame others
You give up the powers to change

Yourself before you try and change others
What tomorrow might promise is nothing but a phase
Beauty's only skin deep left with nothing but a face
Quotations are phrases repeated over ages
Repeated over ages
Repeated over ages
And not all wise words are true
Origins are the grape-vines you hear them through
Cut and stemmed from the earth
Bloodshed or soil
The chicken or the egg
Ponder why you eating oil
When the gossips all you read
Worst of all the people know that oil's just a bite of an apple can make you spoiled
And an apple symbolizes the rotten earth
And then your brains rot and gone into rotten earth
They say that men are cursed, I say that men are blessed
So called men of God, I believe them less

[Verse 2]
They say that men are cursed, I say that men are blessed
So called men of God, I believe them less
We're all true men of God, I believe that yes
One day we'll all come together and figure out this bleeding mess
They say that money is the root of all evil
And money doesn't grow on trees
I disagree cause most money is paper
Taken from the wood like branches and leaves
Need money to live
Need trees to breathe
And we all wanna snap branches from the tree (trees)
And we all visit bank branches for the peace
There's no evil in money, the evil's in the greed
A friend in need is a friend indeed
Think twice before you speak to a friend in need
Lend a friend money he becomes your enemy
Beware of your friends coming on a bended knee

[Catch]

[Verse 3]
A friend in need is a friend indeed
Think twice before you speak to a friend in need
Lend a friend money he becomes your enemy
So beware of your friends coming on a bended knee
They say that
"history's lie" that's agreed
All stories are similar but different to the truth
Lost in translations
So whenever you read
Don't just do between
Check beneath
