Padparadschas

[Verse]

Singleminded, mechanical on the lam for tangibles

Hearty hankering, I won’t settle for crumbs or granules

Affirmations, recitation, like Psalm verses

To ball with mathematical precision, John Urshel

Thoughts become things, i’mma grind until we want for nothing

Owing folks and overdrafts to rolling round in chauffeured Cutlass

Periodic flashbacks to when they foiled us

Gambling but stamina management means a royal flush

Bloody ducted I was Le Chiffre or Mads Mikkelsen

Thankful everyday my mantras are magnificent

If gravitas is grounded in what your works handle

Certain that my personage bursts through the Earth’s mantle

Atman automatically attunes to the opulence

Molten magma machismo, motivates metropolis

Photographic pupils are clearer than glass binoculars

Pneumatic pressure produces powerful Padparadscha


[Hook]

Hardest choice these days is crab or lobster

Yall covet VVS, i’m partial to Padparadschas

Bonafide, original cuz those fads are noxious

Material is cool, but addicted to having options

Hardest choice these days is crab or lobster

Yall covet VVS, i’m partial to Padparadschas

Bonafide, original cuz those fads are noxious

Material is cool, but addicted to having options


[Verse]

Pinch me, dreams of silver spoons and priceless ingots

No impossibilities once committed to right convictions

Libations hiss, lips kiss when ice hits them

From read receipts to meet and greets with the nicest sisters

Mama’s svelte, bundled bands bulging out her bustier

Now she’s all about collecting chips just like a croupier

Hotel rendezvouses, Champloo and Nujabes

Concierge, croquettes, slathered in remoulade

Living lavishly, luxury’s so addictive

Consumption is cathartic when all you know is restriction

Accustomed to amenities, but can keep it rustic

As consumerism can’t fog or impair my judgement

It’s perilous, embarrassing but same story

Most triumphs end due to arrogance and vainglory

Generosity, not phony opaqueness

Is the key because you can’t fake homeostasis


[Hook]

Hardest choice these days is crab or lobster

Yall covet VVS, i’m partial to Padparadschas

Bonafide, original cuz those fads are noxious

Material is cool, but addicted to having options

Hardest choice these days is crab or lobster

Yall covet VVS, i’m partial to Padparadschas

Bonafide, original cuz those fads are noxious

Material is cool, but addicted to having options
