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
After the shows chasing skirts nah that's not why I work 
Thought it was love at the start but something in ya head reversed 
Arrogant all of the sudden walking round like a mogul
All 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
