Creator Lyrics - Santogold - Santogold

Got no need for the fancy things 

All the attention that it brings 

Tell me, no, I say, yes, I was chosen 

And I will deliver the explosion 

Can't say it's gonna get me far 

Do no good to say what you are 

I run the streets and I break up houses 

River runs deep and the flame devours it 

Me, I'm a creator 

Thrill is to make it up 

The rules I break got me a place 

Up on the radar 

Me, I'm a taker 

Know what the stakes are 

Can't roll it back, it's understood 

Got to play our cards 

Me, I'm a creator 

Thrill is to make it up 

The rules I break got me a place 

Up on the radar 

Me, I'm a taker 

Know what the stakes are 

Can't roll it back, it's understood 

Got to play our cards 

Sit tight I know what you are 

Mad bright but you ain't no star 

Polish up 'til you make it gleam 

Your M.O, I know what you mean 

Tail ridin' and I know it's true 

While they screamin', I love you 

Down deep you know there ain't no flow 

A soul decay, was D.O.A 

I know what you here for now 

Words out you're an idea whore though 

Now don't you crush on me 

I'll see you in your pipe dreams 

Whether or not you know it's true 

You're who they dictate to 

That shit must hurt real bad 

Fakin' what you wish you had 

Me, I'm a creator 

Thrill is to make it up 

The rules I break got me a place 

Up on the radar 

Me, I'm a taker 

Know what the stakes are 

Can't roll it back, it's understood 

Got to play our cards 

Here all the folks come ask about me 

Band wagon, know they used to doubt me 

Blind side tend to hit real hard 

You should heed the warning, get a body guard 

Steady friction in this bitch 

Creepin' in just like an itch 

So far I got the last laugh 

Still the rich rise up, still I live fast 

Wouldn't know it face to face 

Got no soul and got no taste 

Moving in speed up the pace 

I got it locked though, what a waste 

All the talk is standard fare 

Walk the walk if it gets you there 

On the grind 'til the gig is up 

I'ma smash 'em down 

Put a muzzle on them like, "What" 

Me, I'm a creator 

Thrill is to make it up 

The rules I break got me a place 

Up on the radar 

Me, I'm a taker 

Know what the stakes are 

Can't roll it back, it's understood 

Got to play our cards 

Me, I'm a creator 

Thrill is to make it up 

The rules I break got me a place 

Up on the radar 

Me, I'm a taker 

Know what the stakes are 

Can't roll it back, it's understood 

Got to play our cards
