Ridin' Low

Fancy cars, money to burn I'm not waiting any longer, it's my turn Live a lot, die a little Remain neutral, stay in the middle Don't get involved, don't be a witness If you are asked, just say you missed it Quietly move up to a position of power Make yourself strong, build your tower Keep your enemies close, your friends closer Let someone else carry the world on their shoulders Look where you are, all you have done You got there by looking out for number one No understanding, no remorse Just let life take its course The minute you stop and regret You will have laid down your hand and lost your bet If you lie to a person, look them dead in the eyes Have them trust you, then watch their demise I have vacancies within my organization I need to fill I will pay you to cheat, steal or kill Come join me where I am Then we can visit the Son of Sam Keep clear of still waters, they run very deep But you have no faith, so you will never take that leap You are someone who is far too gone You leave behind no legacy, when you move on You are one of the many diseases that plague the U.S. When you die, your position will be left to the rest But at this moment you have the reins, keep them under control Do what made you powerful, keep ridin' low
