[De La Soul - Poetic Greed lyrics]
Greed got you thinkin you're speedin up
When you really slowing down
Got your eyes bigger than anything your
Arms could ever fit around
And still, you want morealways more
Satisfaction guaranteed but never comes
Bend you backwards into believing it's your
Birthright to own the world
Excessive, too many cars in the garage
Bling on every finger
Possessions pulling at you
Poisoned by that money mentality
Your vision ain't clear for
Them designer shades can't even see the sky
Only empty space to buy
The pursuit of paper got you running
So fast after that green drowning in things
Tangled in your own tenacity
Desire for that dollar
When you really slowing down
Got your eyes bigger than anything your
Arms could ever fit around
And still, you want morealways more
Satisfaction guaranteed but never comes
Bend you backwards into believing it's your
Birthright to own the world
Excessive, too many cars in the garage
Bling on every finger
Possessions pulling at you
Poisoned by that money mentality
Your vision ain't clear for
Them designer shades can't even see the sky
Only empty space to buy
The pursuit of paper got you running
So fast after that green drowning in things
Tangled in your own tenacity
Desire for that dollar
