Death & Taxes [Main]

I got a letter from the government the other day

I opened and read it, they said I owe greenbacks

Couldn't believe that, digits in the thousands

Shredded up the envelope and started wilin'

I hadn't paid since only God knows when

But since they trust in him, guess the odds are in

And they ain't on me, cinematic, why they hate on me?

Since "Recognize," I been the same ol' G

Kinda figured my evasion was the wrong equation

Can't be straight headbangin' like I'm Iron Maiden

Haven't had no health insurance since my education

So I can't figure out why the fuck I'm payin'

But I can't get locked on no white-collar criminal shit

They charge minimal, fuck it, I'm so cynical

Internal revenue hear me hatin' hard

These niggas got my neck on the block like H&R

Nothing is guaranteed except death and taxes

Looking for quick fixes, then flip the mattress

It won't last, popo, they lookin' for access

Checking accounts, saving accounts, just practice

Nothing is guaranteed except death and taxes

Looking for quick fixes, then flip the mattress

It won't last, popo, they lookin' for access

Checking accounts, saving accounts, just practice

Ain't no negotiating with 'em, it come straight out the check

You may not like they policies, but you gon' pay your respect

It wasn't long ago they ponied up 'bout four or five fits

Just to take another third out our sweat, but I'm staying legit

Moving to make this music my black market

Look at the stats, too many blacks catch charges

That's when they really got us

Pushing us pennies off an honest dollar

Making the sorrow that much harder to swallow

But y'all can go ahead and keep your collar

You ain't doing me like that, although you make me wanna holler

Adding tax prep, get all I can get back

Settle my receipts, write off all my clothing and meals, for real

We on that free man's hustle, three-man weave

The breeze'll get some feathers to ruffle, rustle up half up front
