Ozymandias

[Intro] (Hey!) (Hey!) (Hey!) (Hey!) [Chorus] Strength, power, sex, money (Ha! Ha!) (Hey!) Money (Ha!) [Verse 1] Hot stones tear at my hands Sunlight sears my skin Wind rips open my cuts Sand gets in the wounds again In my shadow behind me I drag the weight of my vanity Another pyramid stone Testing the strength of my sanity (Yeah!) [Chorus] Strength, power, sex, money I'm a slave to no man, no god commands me I chose this work on my own, let my ambition damn me Try to dismantle me, I stand still as a stone See my enemies tremble, hear their rattling bones I work myself to the bone to keep the vultures from family But there's demons inside screaming set us free Strength, power, sex, money Survival's not enough, I gotta be king I refuse to live in a world where I can't change a thing Every day I build the pyramids, turning this pain in my soul to fortune and fame Platinum and gold, I keep my nose to the grindstone, my hand on the plow Blisters and strife in the present for a future empowerment As turned to hours worked devours my life You will remember my name, I'll carve it in stone with a knife Say my name Say my name [Bridge] Ozymandias, monumental I am the central black obelisk writing on the black stone The blackest night on the blackest throne Thrown down from heaven, I ascended from hell I command my demons now, hear them tolling the bell This world is mine now, my world is your hell And hell, say my name Say my name The exhale (Hey!) The exhale [Verse 2] Ozymandias, yeah Every day I build the pyramids, I shame you with my words and my deeds My work ethic will break you, my sharp tongue will make you bleed My bars are a fire you can't arrest Try to stamp me out, I spread to the next You ain't competition to me, you're a victim at best This ain't a game to me, I don't ever rest My eyes stay open, I put my will to the test Stretch the wick on the candle, watch me handle the stress Mess with animal, I go cannibal next Hannibal Lecter high on cannabis, bitch Silence the lambs, I'm about to go Gaga I'm the lyrical John Wick, the white Baba Yaga I got all the guns, all you got's nada You live in the Matrix, I took both pills with vodka I go to infinity, you stuck in the loop Paralyzed by the trinity of sex, money, and youth When you're not in the booth, they suck the life out of you Vampire bites, Belushi and Bram Stoker's Dracula Let's play devil's advocate, get everything you want All the money and fame, women like Charlize Theron Now you're at point break and you're struggling, Don Do you fade to obscurity or does the show still go on? This evil in greed in me is constantly on Crucifix on my chest, Constantine's cancer's too strong
