Lyrics
Don't waste my time With your tasteless mind
Enough of your whine You've had enough as well
You're the reason why They all roll their eyes
As you walk on by They can always tell
You're changing your style far too often
The sad price of fame
Or was that the price of your name
You've changed your ways Or so you say
I'm kept at bay You don't hear the truth
The artist has grown Your seeds have been sown
Ambition is blown In need of a boost
The yarns that you're spinning unravel
So tired of the same
But they're still so glad that you came (they came)
Work that hustle
And try to keep control
Flex some muscle
Don't wanna lose that hold
Work that hustle 'till everybody folds
Too much foolish trust will lead you to be bought and sold
I'm watching you pose Through glasses of rose
Forgetting your woes I'll polish off the past
I'll tell all the lies You're bound to have spies
They move in disguise And tell you you'll last
You've witnessed your own lost disaster
They've forgotten your name
Has the liquor extinguished the flame
So now that you're gone They all carry on
Grown tired of the con They're selling someone else
Another will come And surely get done
While under the thumb And under someone's belt
And still there's some strange fascination
With somebody's pain
And it always ends up the same
Work that hustle
And try to keep control
Flex some muscle
Don't wanna lose that hold
Work that hustle 'till everybody folds
Too much foolish trust will lead you to be bought and sold
So far you've come You're barely numb
Laughter for some You've buried every clue
They'll never know What's down deep below
A story from Poe It's hardly something new
You've finally won them all over
Continue the game
As I watch from out of the frame
