Confidence Game - Intellectual

[Chorus]

I got a knee-jerk reaction to raise my voice

Likely caused some shit

There's something going on behind your eyes

I can feel it

But things are gonna get worse

Before they get better

So you better hurry up and wait

This confidence game seems so clever

Guess everyone's on the take

They pat your back, then pick your pocket with eye contact and peddle the cure

A pack of rats in a vat of cotton working graveyard shifts to try and fix the score

You never see 'em come, you never see 'em go

Always running from something, don't they seem to flow?

Ghost notes in minor tone

Hand to God, no one knows

I got a knee-jerk reaction to raise my voice

Likely caused some shit

There's something going on behind my eyes

You can feel it

Everyone keeps getting worse

They keep getting better

Better realize what's at stake

It's a confidence scam

Right down to the letter

See on through the treachery

I'll run you down when you're running game

I'll pay attention, better check that change

For the counterfeit, they're all around you, kid

Might look alike, but the feeling ain't the same

Keep an arm's length, at least give yourself

Some free space between handshakes and hand grenades

No one says

I got a knee-jerk reaction to raise my voice

Likely caused some shit

There's something going on inside your eyes

I can feel it

I got a knee-jerk reaction to raise my voice

Likely caused some shit

There's something going on behind my eyes

You can feel it
