Very Much Money (Ice King Dream) - Open Mike Eagle

Writing on the floor of a Chinese restaurant

Crown on my hip like Simon Petrikov

Thought of a song called 'Thinking of Master Plans'

Reagan and Rakim drinking in Amsterdam

Cafe back room meeting with cancer man

Engineering project black astronaut

The first scene in the film Prometheus

I wrote a brand new story that starts from there

Just need some help with the financing

I ain’t got nobody to pitch it to

My friends are superheros

None of us have very much money though

They can fly, run fast, read Portuguese

None of us have very much money though

They know judo and yoga, photography, politics

Some of them leap over buildings

Writers, magicians, comedians, astronauts

None of it mattered when niggas was hungry

My friends are superheros

None of us have very much money though

They wear the same underwear as billionaires

None of us have very much money though

Hustlers, beatmakers, drug dealers, sculptors

Ego-maniacal authors and bloggers

Some of them talk to the animals

None of it mattered when niggas was hungry

That shit’s not valuable

Come say it to my face

That shit’s not valuable

Come say it to my face

It’s all disposable

Come say it to my face

I was hoping this device might cure my remembering

I’m eighty-seven percent sure I invented it

High adrenaline I’m rapping on the cake boss

Name on the dressing room, so I ain’t lost

Commencing countdown takeoff

Another sound stage, rehearsing a fake space walk

Lil' Wayne is an ancient African

Jay-Z's been around since the 20s though

The only new ones is Lil' B and One Be Lo

We only got a hundred months to go

Until your hometown’s covered under tons of snow

It goes one, two, three, four, five little Indians

When it’s all over I survive on the Pentium

Chips, cinnamon flavored memory sticks

And I’ll flash, take a picture

Cause I won’t remember

That shit’s not valuable

Come say it to my face

That shit’s disposable

Come say it to my face

It’s not authentic though

Come say it to my face

That’s so ingenuine

Come say it to my face

My friends are superheros

None of us have very much money though

They can fly, run fast, read Portuguese

None of us have very much money though

They can make hair grease out of fruits and herbs

None of us have very much money though

They can take selfies like Dubuffet

None of us have very much money though
