Stolen Kisses the mistress just be assuming the interest
and even housewives can turn away from the princess
And every campaign that coordinates with plans made
Is man paved and ego's looking for a damn change
The landscape is tan drapes and pancakes
Day Drinking leading to another bland face
Chase ideals 'til they feel quite real
and anyone looking for opportunity that might squeal
Mind shield, high yields for a monroe in print
And take advantage of all those people known to flinch
known to switch, grow an itch, or throw a glitch,
we bouldered in
showing caution to the wind, with no hope of opening for them
cheating was the norm, before we found a code
and judged for what ya did, well depends on who you know
merge and acquisition the new face of cataclysm
spreading through the streets, too easy to catch a symptom

How many people in this world feel locked out?
How many people in this world feel knocked down?
I feel the tremors and they hindered all across town
I used to turn a blind eye, but homie not now.

Rules and Regulations
Made it rude to make a statement
And a scent within the room just withheld rejuvenation
And we list all the problems through a new enumeration
And that scent still lingers, it's a fatal rumination

Skirts ain't too short for a boss man
Do another report, don't care what it costs man
I'm gonna be that smoke up in the office man
I'm gonna lead that "hope is not a promise" man

What can you sell in a market cartel?
Where everything you advertise is what we all felt.
And everything is glamorized it's where the stars dwell
And everything you fantasize sits on a large shelf

I see the slick hair, I see the wrist glare
I see the lies cloud the smoke in the thick air
And a smile is a million dollar tool
No matter how many times you played 'em for a fool

How many people in this world feel locked out?
How many people in this world feel knocked down?
I feel the tremors and they hindered all across town
I used to turn a blind eye, but homie not now.

Women didn't have a place, and neither did a negro
and back then, Lee Harvey was a hero
I'm glad times change but time doesn't always change
the way people behave, the tendencies remain
And we stay obsolete, celibate, don't want to teach
Say a lot, don't want to lead and I'm guilty too
so now,
the duty falls on me, so call on me
to go and make a difference in our community

How many people in this world feel locked out?
How many people in this world feel knocked down?
I feel the tremors and they hindered all across town
I used to turn a blind eye, but homie not now.
