Ends Lyrics - Revolutions Per Minute - Talib Kweli

Ayo, you gon' put in on this one? 

Why am I the only one purchasing shit man 

Ay, go ahead and kick it on in 

Kick it in! Kick it In! 

Everything, is gonna be alright... oh yeah 

Ponzi scheme, our foreign policy 

War in the name of democracy 

A lottery, a plot to run up in your private property 

Cop a key, break it down, and call it the ricotta 

Or the fetti - that's a lotta cheese 

Enough to make the innocent cop a plea 

And stabilize economies, shopping spree 

Copped a V, we stay driven by a lotta greed 

The saddest sight is when the parasites bottom feed 

The game of Monopoly, a terrorist bombing spree 

Planes falling out the sky, like we was a Lockerbie 

Look into the heart of a thief 

You might go on vacation, become a patient 

Somebody taking your artery 

My lyrics merely taking a picture, this is photography 

Obviously for some the poverty really hard to see 

Honestly, I've come to the stage rock properly 

I like my pockets fat, not flat 

Spending up all my time making ends 

For all the money 

It's the only thing on my mind, right now 

That matters 

Tried to change my mind 

Gotta check? Let me underwrite it 

Spendin' money on the flesh, attention undivided 

The promise of funds got 'em strip to their undergarments 

For the skrilla, they willin' to diss your mama 

Like the show with Wilmer Valderamma 

I grind harder cause I gotta live 

My ancestors swung from the ropes 

This is Apocalypse Now, rising to prominence 

Never go against the family, it's Godfather shit 

My hypothesis, stop your breath like an octopus 

Gettin' hold of your esophagus 

Try to rob, I'll pop you quick 

Promise you will not evict 

On a reconnaissance mission for where the profit is 

No I'm not the office type, quite the opposite 

Despite accomplishments, I'm hungry as a starving artist is 

The knowledge from this metropolitan perspective 

More effective than scholarships to the best colleges 

Spending up all my time making ends 

(Kick it In! Kick it In!) 

For all the money 

It's the only thing on my mind, right now 

(Ay man, gimme my money!) 

That matters 

Tried to change my mind 

So basically, the moral of the story is: 

Go get it, man 

It's the only thing right now that matters 

I heard somebody say: "Money is the root of all evil" 

Don't believe that man 

It's the love of money, the pursuit of money 

That's the root of all kinds of evil, man. 

So, Yo - somebody owe you money and they ain't pay up 

Tell 'em you got five seconds... 

You got five seconds - gimme my shit!
