You Can Keep Your Shady Deals
By Zemlan
[Verse 1]
Keep my eyes on the prize.
not a sprint but a marathon.
Slow and steady wins the race
as I work into the dawn.
While others wanna shortcut.
quick fixes in the dark.
I plant a seed of effort
to grow inside my park.
[guitar interlude]
[Chorus]
I grind, I work, I sweat, but hey I sleep real well.
While scammers dream nightmares about going to hell.
You can keep your shady deals, rolling fast in your lane.
I’ll take my honest paycheck over your fishy game.
[Verse 2]
Pyramid schemes popping up.
asking friends to take a sip.
Of a pledge of future wealth.
from this latest partnership.
But twisting arms of those you love.
just doesn't sit quite right.
I’d rather earn my way alone.
than putting gas into their light.
[harmonica solo]
Hmm (ooh yeah...)
Na,na,na (no gaslighting...)
[Chorus]
I grind, I work, I sweat, but hey I sleep real well.
While scammers dream nightmares about going to hell.
You can keep your shady deals, rolling fast in your lane.
I’ll take my honest paycheck over your fishy game.
[Bridge]
Yeah, you might drive a faster car, but does your engine purr?
Mine’s running on hard work, no shady blur.
You see, while you tiptoe past small claims,
I walk tall, clear of shames.
[Drop]
[Chorus]
I grind, I work, I sweat, but hey I sleep real well.
While scammers dream nightmares about going to hell.
You can keep your shady deals, rolling fast in your lane.
I’ll take my honest paycheck over your fishy game.
