Pretty Penny by Ethos The Rapper Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A pretty penny held by many, I'm a shine it off and give it back a little value if there ever was any at all
I'm not a follower nor am I a repeater, I'm a leader, a Dystopia- superseder and the ringleader of a movement but
I'm not the seeder, that's the universe and one day I'd love to meet her, she does her best to make this life much easier
I'm losing count of all the blessings I get handed, it's a blur
And I'm here to stay once I drop my name will never go away and to think all the music that I've dropped so far is kid's play
I don't even use a MIDI pad I use my keyboard and my mouse and still put out this kinda shit so why you mad?
It may not be your normal sound but I know it isn't bad, I know it's got your molecules bouncin' yea they're feelin' glad
From the frequencies that I'm projectin' through 'em 'cause they're used to ones that make 'em sad
[Chorus]
Pretty penny, no longer gotta buy a tenny
Treading carefully, you've claimed the lives of many
Pretty penny, like a gut full of Henny
You fucked it up and yet we're all your enemy?
[Verse 2]
I can only surmise as to the size of the prize that's waitin' at the end of the rope and givin' me hope
Some think I'm a dope for not signing on the dotted line but I had my eyes on a different target in the scope
So I said nope I have a bigger plan so come and join the caravan, let's start a clan, I was tryin to be their anchorman but
They sort of laughed me out over some plays so I redrew my plan to be the man in the biz, always been a whiz
Kid you can barely make a little bit of fizz under your little lid, and you can fake it all you want
But you'll never have the kinda music that can take the can and shake it hard enough that before it opens up
It builds up like a pressure cooker coupled with a coked out Booker T and suddenly I'm making so much noise around you
That you gotta call and schedule a brand new appointment with your E.N.T, doc
[Chorus]
Pretty penny, no longer gotta buy a tenny
Treading carefully, you've claimed the lives of many
Pretty penny, like a gut full of Henny
You fucked it up and yet we're all your enemy?
A pretty penny held by many, I'm a shine it off and give it back a little value if there ever was any at all
