[Chorus] 
Su-preme (Supreme, Supreme) [repeat 8x] 

Su-preme people living with they backs aligned 
Up against the wall cause these days are asinine 
Living in a money matrix, How cats survive 
Some will fade away and wither, others will blast a 9 
Kings and Queens working 9 to 5's 
And making nothing searching for a deeper purpose in life 
This CAN"T be life... 
? can't be right... 
Without no money in my pockets I just can't see right 
I used to try to preach to younguns like, "Do right kids" 
Now-a-days all that I can say is, "Get it how you live" 
Live how you get it, shit! 
Don't nobody wanna get... 
A promotion up to fry cook like little Calvin did 
Some would rather take a gamble, hey they might to bids 
The allure of fast money in this hell-bound system 
Got you look at two-hundred bucks a week 
Versus, like a thousand in a day 
Tell me what makes more sense to these... 

[Chorus] 

Trapped like rats in mazes for the cheese 
Every natural resource is here, We don't really need money 
But certain people need power over people 
They act like that cause they're trapped inside their EGO-sphere 
And now you can't feel free 
Without material possesions, you can't just be (Be: echo) 
And without 'em you're left stressin, so anxiously (Be: anxiously) 
So you grab the Smith & Wesson, then aim, then squeeze (Squeeze: echo) 
To get what's comin' to ya 
The block's so hot, it blew the top off the thermometer 
The rush for drama is more appealing than a plane light 
Cause life is insane, so insanity is a sane light 
It's so easy to see, simple as day and night 
SU-preme people born out of the way of the light 
In the darkness, trying to fly straight 
To some folks it's like being a fish swimming with sharks... shit! 

[Perhaphs not since men turned their ears the preachings of a mere prophet 
2000 years ago have the words of humble men reached so many with such force 
? Perhaps because it has been burning for long, now smoldering 
Now bursting into hot flames, now hastily covered over to smolder again 
Until the next outbreak.] 

[Chorus] 

SU-preme people only want the best and uhh 
SU-preme people won't settle for less then uhh 
Straight from royalty put inside projects and uhh 
Capitalist system that don't make sense to ya 
SU-preme people put against the fence, Get up! 
? hostile if you aint fixing the... 
Problem you created that make these condition up 
A little reparation for your acts are sent to us 
SU-prome ride to die to get the bucks 
? by any means so, uhh, lock your benzes up 
Tuck your chain and watch and keep your defenses up 
All they wanna do is live it up like ? 

[Chorus ]

SU-preme... 
SU-preme... 
SU-preme...
