A man with a promise smashes down my door

He sees a future with me, he's gonna give me more

"Give me all your trust, I'msure you won't regret

Just sign the dotted line, and I'll do so the rest"

He says I can't make it alone, not without him

But I've always been on my own, he doesn't know who I am

And now I'm starting to see just what you are to me

A parasitic leech of my life

[Pre-chorus:]

You feed off the art that I bleed

You're a man with a promise but you ain't shit to me

A man broke his promise and he wants reparations

He sold me up the river, cause me grief and frustration

I gave him all my trust and got stabbed in the back

A lucky motherfucker that he hasn't yet been whacked

You ain't no fucking artist, spend your life exploiting others

Try all you want, you can't break me or my brothers

A business man vulture,no honor, no class

Take your money and your lawyers and shove 'em up your ass

[Pre-chorus II:]

You feed off the art that I bleed

Numbers to you is just pain to me

[Chorus:]

Now the tables are turned

Can't you see motherfucker that you've been burned

You're a man with a promise but you ain't shit to me

You ain't shit to me

[Lead]

[Pre-chorus II]

[Chorus]
