Rich (Explicit)

Rich (Explicit) - Yard Act

Lyrics by：James Smith/Ryan Needham/Sam Shjipstone

Composed by：James Smith/Ryan Needham/Sam Shjipstone

Almost by accident I have become rich

Through continued reward for skilled labour in the private sector

And a genuine lack of interest in expensive things

It appears I have become rich

And since I have become rich

I've been constantly living in fear of losing everything

That the bubble will burst and falling from my perch

I will return once again to the life that I used to live

With the things that didn't have before I had become rich

It appears I have become rich

Rich

I put a pinch away each week in a place my hand wouldn't fit

So I cannot reach it it is made of solid steel

A square foot deep with a slit no bigger than an inch

One day when the seams split in such a way that it cannot be restitched

I will scratch that insatiable itch and buy the whole hospital

And everything in it

In it

Because I am rich

It appears I have become rich

You twitching like some headless bird

Whilst the witch doctors poached for the stragglers in the herd

Pitching for business down on skid row

The line goes out the door and you're right at the back

Man two more poor dead kids in a ditch

I f**king love being rich

You can't pin that on me

It appears l have become so rich

So rich

It appears I have become so so rich

I'm literally drowning in it

But no matter how little I've got

I'II never lose the plot

On top of the hill looking out over the valley

You can see for miles and still get shot

The farmer doesn't want his cows getting what the other cows have got

He keeps his livestock stock stuffed in his sock

That's why he's rich

It appears we've both become rich

It appears we're both both very very very rich

It appears we've both got gout

It appears we have no shame

It appears I have become rich

It appears I have become rich

Lord forgive me have mercy on my soul never

No one ever tells you how tough it really is

Please teach me

How to be modest and how to be rich

I've done some terrible things because I'm rich

Looking for opportunities in ventures that are bound to bring the silver rain

Sure it's a rush being kush

But then again life is a b***h

I've become so rich

And people hate you for it people really hate you for it

It appears I have become rich

You run a real risk being rich

It appears I have become rich

It appears I have become rich

It appears I have become rich
