歌词
But once it’s juiced, off the throne it's dismissing
Keep the balance delicate, regard in it's fixing
Hope’s lease renewed, with each moment we're scripting
[Chorus]
Keep 'em close but never caged, on hopes etched in scrolls
Maintain the mystery, the stories untold
Let 'em crown you a deity, but keep cravings whole
Dependency's chain, more precious than gold
[Verse 3]
Wisdom's voice whispers, don't quench all thirst
Let the well spring eternal, first sip to the first
Turn your back with
Words weave wisdom like sages of olden
Catch these truths more precious than golden
Not the one adorned, but the one you beholden
Make yourself the key, keep 'em locked in your hold, man
Adore to ascend, create the crave, strategic
Wise men play the game, make dependence their secret
Keep hope like a flame, just outta reach, don't peek it
On the throne or the street, make 'em feel you're needed
They toast to your name, but remember the rule
Once they quenched that thirst, they can turn so cruel
They need ya, they feed ya, but never will they lead ya
Masters of the game, watch and they will read ya
Bridging gaps of wants, craft a web, they'll heed ya
Hold the key to desire, make 'em believers, uh
Gilded words, not the gift, make the gods in their eyes
The sage holds the power when he's shrouded in disguise
Quench not the thirst, let the well run dry
For the golden fruit falls, when the hunger dies
[Chorus]
Keep 'em close, hold tight to that leash of dependence
Lead 'em with hope, but never with ascendance
Spin a web of need, craft it like a master
Feed 'em just enough, keep the hope a-catchin'
Promise of tomorrow, let that be the rapture
But the full glass ain't offered, only ever snatched in
[Verse 3]
In the art of need, you're either sun or shadow
Light that fuels their dreams or the dark they can't let go
Dangle the carrot, let it guide the way
But never let it land in their hands, so you stay
The one they look up to, the crutch, the mainstay
In the game of thrones or the pawns, you got sway
Stay indispensable, that's the game's essence
Never fill the cup up, leave 'em in your presence
Crave your sunlight, need your shade
In your hands, their hope is expertly laid
Control the thirst, don’t let it fade
Be the well they circle, but never made
An orange sucked, falls away, unpraised
But when it's dangled, oh how they gaze
[Chorus]
Let 'em chase that hope like a mirage in the light
Drip dreams like honey, keep 'em believing they might
Grasp the artful passage, mine the wisdom deep within
Craft the chain of needin', make it tight, let the lesson begin
Adorn not the skin but the dreams that you're feedin'
Wisdom's game got more pull than just pleadin'
Bait the hook of hope, but never satisfy the wish
Dangle the future, like a tantalizing dish
An orange once juiced is lost, fallen by the wayside
But while it's whole, oh, the desires it incites
[Chorus]
Keep 'em hangin' on the brink, let dependence be your link
Offer dreams, never landing, keep their spirits ever cranking
Play the oracle, they flockin' like it's spiritual
The invisible hand, they cling to, it's critical
Keeps ‘em on edge, just enough to be pivotal
Need becomes greed, the dependence, habitual
[Chorus]
You're the sun they orbit, the deity so implicit
Keep hope on tap, never full, that's the ticket
On their lips, your name—a prayer, so explicit
Their gratitude fleeting, but your game is prolific
[Verse 4]
They praise your walk, hang on every word you talk
Without you, they stumble, without you, they're in shock
