Lyrics Powerman 5000

Powerman 5000

Slumlord

(People are coming from everywhere to get a touch from the lord)

Aw, yeah, now here's the situation

You gotta give a number, you're late for renovation

The grant is growing high, the shed's startin' to peel

I can't pay it 'cause I make 150 a week

Drink up, think up, you're sinkin' from the ground up

Slumlord, he laughs, the rat, like a rape or a hold up, fold up

The grass is always greener

But the money that he's makin'

That is makin' him-a scream-a

Let's get straight to the problem

Let's strike now, high brow

Whatcha gotta do to solve 'em

Somewhere your landlord, he's laughing

Pays every hundred for a room

On the street that's in fashion

Heat is obsolete, yeah, in the slumlord mind

But when you're payin' the rent

You better make it on time

You find your sad ass on the street

Makin' friends with the concrete

To the lord, to the lord, to your brain

To the lord, to the lord, to your brain, to the lord

To the lord, to the lord, to your brain

To the lord, to the lord, to your brain, to the lord

To the lord, to the lord, to your brain

To the lord, to the lord, to your brain, to the lord

To the lord, to the lord, to your brain

To the lord, to the lord, to your brain, to the lord

(Yeah)

(Check it our now)

Abstract, intuitive, and calls very few it

In the style of rhyme, should I take it to the next line

From the grave comes a poison from the grapevine

From the poison of the mind and to the lifeline

Do it again from the mouth of a liar

Knowin' the things of pride to expire

Higher than this and low as a bottom

You're prayin' for life itself, but you got a

Weak start, weak hart, a raw deal

A thing you don't feel, but it's real

Livin' kinda low on the third floor

Mother fuckers beatin' down on the front door

To the lord, to the lord, to your brain

To the lord, to the lord, to your brain, to the lord

To the lord, to the lord, to your brain

To the lord, to the lord, to your brain, to the lord

To the lord, to the lord, to your brain

To the lord, to the lord, to your brain, to the lord

To the lord, to the lord, to your brain

To the lord, to the lord, to your brain, to the, to the

Hey, hey, hey, c'mom

Yeah

To my landlord

Yeah

Can't hit that hard

Yeah

Can't hit that hard

Yeah

(We've been given a new lease, a new warning from the landlord)
