48 Flaws of Power
Power runs like poison in their veins
It be the closest ones to you that'll put a knife thru you
When ya guard's down, comfortable, they see right thru you...
The long con took years to observe you to see ya flaws
You made sacrifices, secretly they wanna be the boss
I ain't do thing to floss or show my house off
Look at me, I'm getting paid, and pop my mouth off
cfter the shows chasing skirts nah that's not why I work
Thought it was love at the start but something in ya head reversed
crrogant all of the sudden walking round like a mogul
cll too eager to jump inside another star's photo
Embellishing stories, taking the credit away from others
Existing through the vague and blurry lines to take cover
Robbing for the green hiding behind Robert Greene
Life boiled down to a series of plots and schemes
Handshake spread like a virus through infected hands
For your rep to expand you stepping on the next man yes man
I will run like poison in your veins
I will be the one to break your chains
If you want me you will need blood on your hands
Fatal, forbidden, the fruit, the flaw
Forget the truth, the right, the wrong
Fatal, forbidden, I'll be the law
The only one you'll ever know
Fatal flaw, power power power
Fatal flaw, power power power
When I ring the bell, they come running, running
Whenever I call they come crawling at my feet
Oh, power power power makes them
Power power power makes them weak
He got himself a little money now his friends in high places
Played his cards right, life in synchronization
Folks at his beck and call, a temper like wrecking ball
Things done the first time, he don't need a second call
Flirting with his secretary and the awkwardness is tangible
Can smell weakness in the air cause a part of us is animal
Machiavellian strategists, crafted a persona
Manipulation classes he graduated with honors
Dressed up in illusions, M.L.K. said, that
Power without love is reckless and abusive
Sexually elusive how he leveraged his position
With compromising intel, receipts with y'all slipping
Publicly admired with accolade showers
While his victims stay voiceless left with a taste sour
a trail of blood left behind on his deathbed
The life of a power fiend addicted like a Meth head
Fatal flaw, power power power
Power runs like poison in their veins
Fatal flaw, power power power
Power runs like poison in their veins
Fatal flaw, power power power
Power runs like poison in their veins
Fatal flaw, power power power
Power runs like poison in their veins
Fatal flaw, power power power
Power runs like poison in their veins
Fatal flaw, power power power
Power runs like poison in their veins
