lyrics

Never Wanted it All

Lyrics by Samuel Nash
Music by Fabien Préaux

REFRAIN
He never wanted it all
Never wanted the same
Forever lost in the game
To give a thought to the gain
No amount will remain
Though the "Go" was the goal
He didn't fold for the gold
He put a crack in the mold

He never wanted it all
Never wanted the chains
But when he flaunted the grain
The many moons of work
The jerks just working the reign
Critics blurring the names
The service certain as rain
The service certain as rain

VERSE
First of all, let me explain, first of all
Versatile as heavy, working the lanes
Versus all

First to halt, nurse with salt
Better percs in the maze
Nothing wrong with minor
What is success by designer

Babylon is ripe for the pimping
Righteousness slipping
The reality (is) what's right is the different
(the distant)

Opt, option in times
Got us quickened
Society the plaintiff
Culture become the victim

Cults and their waiting victims
Votes are what spin the systems
Denote what the winners say the losers were and who it hurts

The only certainty, the facts are backwards
Digestible for general consumption
Ask the masters, remask the actor and it still becomes apparent
Like an heir with a parent and

The air isn't clear here
(The air isn't clear here)

REFRAIN
He never wanted it all
Never wanted the same
Forever lost in the game
To give a thought to the gain
No amount will remain
Though the "Go" was the goal
He didn't fold for the gold
He put a crack in the mold

He never wanted it all
Never wanted the chains
But when he flaunted the grain
The many moons of work
The jerks just working the reign
Critics blurring the names
The service certain as rain
The service certain as rain

VERSE
Life's similar to the flood's run
Caution to, who it touches
You are sensitive to the Subgum (*Too much MSG?)

Chop Suey, chop game, or Chop Chae
Nourishment's put under waters like, stop wave

We at the mercy of the elements (Politics)
And systems put in place
For new order and new methods to Dollar flip

Holla tricks, turned out like the pimp, and to his
Bottom bitch
Call it Gotham or Babylon, this is not a test

Rotten glitch, gotten from viruses
Fresh as in the produce
Those tools are amateurish when you know you

Seems the only method to hold it together
Indeed it's in your self to get
The measurement and the measure

The keeper is the wealth and what's a treasure?
We deem it
So what's your price and how's your pride after you seized it

So what's the prize? How long's the prime and when did you greet it
What's the grind? And where's the time when you need it?

REFRAIN
He never wanted it all
Never wanted the same
Forever lost in the game
To give a thought to the gain
No amount will remain
Though the "Go" was the goal
He didn't fold for the gold
He put a crack in the mold

He never wanted it all
Never wanted the chains
But when he flaunted the grain
The many moons of work
The jerks just working the reign
Critics blurring the names
The service certain as rain
The service certain as rain
