The Business

(album: No More Hope For The Hopeless - 2022)

Living a fast life, ain't a thing that's slowing me down
I'm dodging red lights, pedal pushing into the ground
Ducking the 5-0, waiting for the siren to sound
But ain't no rest for the wicked when you're wearing the crown

She wanna know (Wanna know)
Wanna know my secret
Never gonna tell you 'cause I know you won't keep it
I'm a gentleman until the sun goes down
Then I'm liable to turn the city to a ghost town
Reckless, crossing off my hitlist
Typical as breakfast, welcome to the business (Yeah, yeah)
I guess normal felt a little formal
I'm tryna be cordial but what I make immortal (Yeah, yeah)

I'm on the run, don't follow me
You want a rush but this ain't the one you need
I'm just a bullet-spinning roulette
You want love but there ain't a thing of love that ain't dead to me yet

Living a fast life, ain't a thing that's slowing me down
I'm dodging red lights, pedal pushing into the ground
Ducking the 5-0, waiting for the siren to sound
But ain't no rest for the wicked when you're wearing the crown

There ain't no rest for the wicked (There ain't no rest for the wicked)
There ain't no rest for the wicked (There ain't no rest for the wicked)
There ain't no rest for the wicked (There ain't no rest for the wicked)
There ain't no rest for the wicked when you're wearing the crown, yeah

Started at the bottom, now I'm hiding in the attic
Yes, I'm at the top but to let 'em know is tragic
They gon' put a bullet through what they don't understand
So I'm moving through the shadows so that they don't get a chance
I'ma do what I wanna; this my life, I'm the author
Teacher said I was a goner, now my pockets looking proper
I guess I was getting higher than my tests back then
How did I become a menace with a goddamn pen?

I'm on the run, don't follow me
You want a rush but this ain't the one you need
I'm just a bullet-spinning roulette
You want love but there ain't a thing of love that ain't dead to me yet

Living a fast life, ain't a thing that's slowing me down
I'm dodging red lights, pedal pushing into the ground
Ducking the 5-0, waiting for the siren to sound
But ain't no rest for the wicked when you're wearing the crown

There ain't no rest for the wicked (There ain't no rest for the wicked)
There ain't no rest for the wicked (There ain't no rest for the wicked)
There ain't no rest for the wicked (There ain't no rest for the wicked)
There ain't no rest for the wicked when you're wearing the crown, yeah

Living a fast life, ain't a thing that's slowing me down
I'm dodging red lights, pedal pushing into the ground
Ducking the 5-0, waiting for the siren to sound
But ain't no rest for the wicked when you're wearing the crown

There ain't no rest for the wicked (There ain't no rest for the wicked)
There ain't no rest for the wicked (There ain't no rest for the wicked)
There ain't no rest for the wicked (There ain't no rest for the wicked)
There ain't no rest for the wicked when you're wearing the crown, yeah
