[Verse 1] Built it high on the river, said the city gonna shine Golden brick promises, selling legends for a dime Blueprints dirty, pockets gettin’ fed Hollow shell rising where the hustlers bled [Chorus] — DJ CUT IT UP: PYRAMID SCHEME! — — PYRAMID SCHEME! PYRAMID SCHEME! — PYRAMID SCHEME — SCHEME — SCHEME! (scratched) STACK THAT DREAM, STACK THAT DREAM CITY SOLD A LIE, WE STILL BLEED PYRAMID SCHEME — SCHEME — SCHEME! (scratched) CASH GET CLEAN, WASH THAT GREEN GHOST IN TIME, STILL HAUNT THIS SCENE [Verse 2] Boardroom slick talk, deals in the dark Concrete casket for a hollowed heart Taxes bled dry while the block still starves Big plans die where the real ones carve [Bridge] Empty halls echo, shadows call names Money disappeared in the paper flames Street tape prophets said it wouldn’t last Another city promise turned to broken glass [Chorus] — DJ CUT IT UP: PYRAMID SCHEME! — — PYRAMID SCHEME! PYRAMID SCHEME! — PYRAMID SCHEME — SCHEME — SCHEME! (scratched) STACK THAT DREAM, STACK THAT DREAM CITY SOLD A LIE, WE STILL BLEED PYRAMID SCHEME — SCHEME — SCHEME! (scratched) CASH GET CLEAN, WASH THAT GREEN GHOST IN TIME, STILL HAUNT THIS SCENE
