about

Something for something else; this for that. As an artist, writing, recording, and performing only covers half of it. The other half is marketing.

lyrics

I'll give you something in exchange for what you have
Change and all your cash or anything that's argued as
I'll bid you one thing in a trade for all you have
Appraising all your assets and weighing out your stash
I think it's too much I'll trade it in a bargain if the price is right
I think it's too much offensive then impressive as I roll the wheel
I think it's too much items of a find design's the kind you'll find
I think it's too much I'll haggle and I'll barter 'til I close the deal

Right through past two staves that mark the start of new paths
And tucked beneath the strange little flames wearing blue masks
I do ask for the specifics of your visit
Can I interest you in a vintage suit? +10 Barter better worn on business
What about a shirt? Like a short sleeve tee with a GU logo on it pouring ink
Sure, we see that of course, [you] need these printing out the plysical of more CDs
Cool jewel case with a cellophane on and [for] ten more, buddy, and I'll put my name on it
Plus, their choice- haiku or a sonnet customized and the way they want it
And what about you, dude? What can I get? A couple new tunes in the form of cassette
Wanna get a crew moved? Then vinyl is the best I don't really choose who but I put them in a deck
No matter your find you can always buy maybe not with money but it all has a price
Anything you can offer a limb or a life I don't really want to settle when it comes to the bribe and
They get the message and pull from their great collection
For a chance to revel in their three hundred famous seconds
Your best investment is all that would be requested
Thanks again your patronage always accepted next

Step right up come one, come all everybody's got a vice I'ma cater t'all
Any problem in your life I can maybe solve and then I gotta get outta here by late tomorrow
With a new assortment of jewels in orbit afforded with a little bit of hard-earned fortune
[Of] course a portion's more endorsement now I gotta go and order wider doors and
Higher clearance items here in the auction with awfully nice appearance,
"Buy you[rself the] purest designer serums!" "...costs what it costs having thine imperium!!
Tourniquet murder kits there and here's some rope and a route to the nearest peer, son
Collar and a podium and coming in fearsome really wanna try to be a peacher? Be some[thing]
With a billion light-bulbed brilliant light show [there's a] hell of a living in selling bibles
Heavenly living, a clean white robe, and everyone follows with these eyes closed, so
What are you buying? Or better, what are you selling? I really wanna get a look at whatever you're willing
To sell to the right guy to buy at a high price you know what I do when I'm making a living and so
What I'm asking [for] or offering's more than favorable
If you aint ready yet to sell it what's it on the table for?
This here's a megastore it's vurtual and capable
Of granting me the salary that rap ain't paying for
