Rent Party Revolution - Open Mike Eagle feat. E.Super, Open Mike Eagle, E.Super

When I was a smaller Eagle

I was told I’d be richer than a lot of people

I was dressed like a very important boy

In my K-Mart brand sweaters and corduroys

And when the girlies looked down, it was really over

Black argyle socks and new penny loafers

I was erudite

The type of kid that most parents liked

I never begged 'em for a pair of Nikes

Cause I was studying brine shrimp and parasites

And learning how to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit

(Nerd Alert!)

With thick glasses and everything

Supposed to have big cash when I’m seventeen

From working in research labs with acetylene torches

And a flying Porsche with leather wings

But looking back I wasn’t too clever

Cause I grew up to be the smartest broke dude ever

But since it’s too late for my goals

I’mma start a party that they can’t control

From the Blowed, Swim Team got the H2O

So we gon' start a party that they can’t control, yo

I never found no ancient scroll

But I’mma start a party that they can’t control

You know my crew get the money and the fame and go

And we gon' start a party that they can’t control

I be in my kitchen chewing on chicken fat

Thinking about Twitter, I should have invented that

That’s not gold from a man’s mind

It’s just a whole bunch of code on command lines

I get ideas but they explode like land mines

I blame the Masons, they control us with hand signs

I also blame the school system

Except I used to teach, so I fools with 'em

They taught me all about metaphors

And other shit to make me smart but extra poor

Like which rivers flow through Ecuador

I got a high IQ and low credit score

A lot of rich cats are dumb as shit

They just work loopholes in the government

But how much dough these dummies gon' get

Raise investment capital, put your money on this right here

But since it’s too late for my goals

I’mma start a party that they can’t control

From the Blowed, Swim Team got the H2O

So we gon' start a party that they can’t control, yo

I never found no ancient scroll

But I’mma start a party that they can’t control

You know my crew get the money and the fame and go

And we gon' start a party that they can’t control
