Open Mike Eagle – Very Much Money

OME returns with the latest single off his upcoming album, Dark Comedy, due out June 10th. Press play and follow along with the lyrics below.

[verse 1]

writhing on the floor of a chinese restaurant crown on my hip like simon petrikov
thought of a song called ‘thinking of master plans’ regan and rakim drinking in amsterdam cafe back room meeting with cancerman
engineering project black astronaut
the first scene in the film prometheus
i wrote a brand new new story that starts from there
just need some help with the financing i aint got nobody to pitch it to

[chorus]
my friends are superheroes none of us have very much money tho
they can fly run fast read Portuguese none of us have very much money tho
they know judo and yoga photography politics some of them leap over buildings
writers magician comedians astronauts none of it matter when niggas was hungry
my friends are superheroes none of us have very much money tho
they wear the same underwear as billionaires hustlers beat makers drug dealers sculptors ego maniacal authors and bloggers some of them talk to the animals none of it matter when niggas were hungry

that shits not valuable come say it to my face
that shits not valuable come say it to my face
its all disposable come say it to my face

[verse 2]

i was hoping this device would cure my remembering im 80% sure i invented it
high adrenaline im rapping on the cake boss
name on the dressing room so i aint loss
commencing countdown take off
another sound stage rehearsing a fake space walk
lil wayne is an ancient african jay z’s been around since the 20’s though
the only new one is lil b and onebelo
we only got a hundred months to go until your hometown is covered under tons of snow
it goes one two three four five little indians
when its all over i survive on the pentium
chips cinnamon flavored memory sticks
and ill flash take a picture cause i won’t remember

that shits not valuable come say it to my face
that shits disposable come say it to my face
its not authentic though come say it to my face
that so ingenuine come say it to my face
my friends are superheroes none of us have very much money though
they can fly run fast read portuguese none of us have very much money though
they can make hair grease out of fruits and herbs none of us have very much money though they can take selfless like Dubuffet
none of us have very much money though
