Loud - 03. Greed

Yo, greed eats like a beast
Devouring souls, turn them to the ghost at least
Look in the eyes, see the hate ignite
Building empires from cash and delight
Streets are dirty and the minds are blank
Chasing that gold but they can't find the rank
Living in luxury pockets so fat
But deep in the night they're just feeling flat

Greed, greed, what have you done
Deceit and hate, that's how you run
They buy the freedom but pay the price
Chains weigh heavy, minds trapped in ice

Thinking they're winning but the fall's coming fast
When the cash stops talking who you'll be at last
The bling bling chain shine but the souls are dead
Lost in the game, never in the thread
They talk about power but who's holding the reins
Fighting in the shadows, no room for the pains
Every decision a step in the mire
Greed will catch you like a falling empire

Greed, what have you done
Deceit and hate, that's how you run
They buy the freedom but pay the price
Chains weigh heavy, minds trapped in ice

Look at the world, it's burning in flames
The rich are blind but the poor feel the pains
Greed will consume you think you're so smart
But in the endgame you're the one who'll depart

They count all the cash but it won't count for you
´Cause the hunger for more makes you never feel true
Shadows grow long but night turns to flight
In the dark this greed reveals its true sight
The cycle of life, the pain and the lust
Greed will chase you down till you turn to dust
Let go of the chains, break through the light
´Cause greed brings you sorrow, remember that fight

Greed, greed, what have you done
Deceit and hate, that's how you run
They buy the freedom but pay the price
Chains weigh heavy, minds trapped in ice

Look at the world, it's burning in flames
The rich are blind but the poor feel the pains
Greed will consume you think you're so smart
But in the endgame you're the one who'll depart

Look at the world, it's burning in flames
The rich are blind but the poor feel the pains
Greed will consume you think you're so smart
But in the endgame you're the one who'll depart

They count all the cash but it won't count for you
Cause the hunger for more makes you never feel true
Shadows grow long but night turns to flight
In the dark this greed reveals its true sight

The cycle of life, the pain and the lust
Greed will chase you down till you turn to dust
Let go of the chains, break through the light
Cause greed brings you sorrow, remember that fight

Greed, greed, what have you done
Deceit and hate, that's how you run
They buy the freedom but pay the price
Chains weigh heavy, minds trapped in ice

Hope they shut this mouth, we're gonna break apart
Hope they shut this mouth, we're gonna break apart

It’s about how the hunger for more leaves us empty in the end.
