Some Will Do Anything - Intellectual

[Intro: Lex Starwind]

It's Foundation

The Outlaw Star, Jon Murdock

Zodiac, Dark City

Check it like this, yo, yo

[Verse 1: Lex Starwind]

I ain't a thug or a gangster, I'm just regular me

And I ain't gotta claim all that, it's better for me

To keep y'all guessin' and stressin' 'cause it's plain to see

That most fabricate and create what they claim to be

But see, we on the life bright, stars, glamour and glitz

Slick mouth wordplay when the cameras go click

They acting duke, from flashy suits

To rented jewels from Jacob and borrowed stacks of loot

Close captioned too, so you could read those lies

THX surround sound, version 3.5

Big screen, master rhyme to pass the time

Originality like fucked up money, stacks declined

Insufficient funds, half of y'all spittin'

Insufficient bums, scraping insufficient crumbs

Off an insufficient table from an insufficient label

Making insufficient paper, so tell a neighbor

One of hip-hop's saviours' what the Foundation flavor flew in

Quick to save ya along with a few others

Along with my two brothers, slang shot

Blast caps off worse than my crew utters truth, hovers like smoke

You could see it, but it's out of your grasp

Landscape the fucking snakes right up out of your grass and get it right

[Chorus: Jon Murdock & Lex Starwind]

Some will do anything that it takes to get paid

Rob, steal and lie, kill just to hop in a Range

It's always been the same, it ain't gonna change

We lust the spotlight, we wanna hop on the stage

For all your people dead and all your people gone

Sit back, close your eyes and hear the words to this song

We wanna live forever, but we ain't living long

We stay strong, hold onto what we got 'til it's gone

[Verse 2: Jon Murdock]

From the end to beginning, from beginning to end

I conduct with the pen to speak to y'all once again

Snakes, they watching you, but you don't know that

Fakes got they eyes on you, trust, you can't approach that

It's unspoken, heard out loud from my outlook

I look around for the foul crook

All my hills because they killed for thrills

And tried to drill what you build to fulfill what they can't rebuild

For theyself, put in fame and wealth

Before they sit back and evolve on the cards they dealt

But me, I'ma ace that, cats need to face facts

The F-dation grades back to take that, asap

As soon as possible to take all that's profitable

And leap any obstacle, never floppin', unstoppable

This man stops on the road to glory

But hold the story I create to be told, self-explanatory

I'm on the edge of my seat for the closing page

You on the edge of defeat when I blow the stage

As I watch real close at my surroundings

You walk around, blind to the fact that you're surrounded
