Occupied from Occupied EP by Khan & Ghost Hour

I see these cats on the quest for self
the path to wealth
walkin' through the night in the stealth
knife under the belt
the drugs delt
til you catch a snag like a cold
makin' money fold never gets old though
that's why I told this pretty girl I used to know
Hip Hop is communication with the soul
and in the real world cash makin' is the goal
If I make them both combine could that fill the hole
in my heart? Accumulating wealth, that's an art
but be smart, no matter how much steez
everybody gotta stay on top
Pay our fees, we got dues
and only one mind to lose
But many crimes and clues
stay hidden by the dark
from the White House to your local park
I see these times pretty shady
I can't rely on these fuckin rhymes just to pay me

[CHORUS]
Are you Occupied?
Are you on the grind?
Gotta 9 to 5?
Or is it all the time?
All day every day
On a paper chase
and it don't stop
in the land of the rat race

[VERSE 2]
Okay the bill's pilin' up
growin' up, yo I thought I got wild enough
It's like nails, imma file it up
in the suit and tie
like Am I Enough?
I'm in your city tryina find the love
tryina find a job
but the grind is just
not fulfillin' til I'm willin' to transform
the whole system, you know we gotta plan for
drastic times, they define what we stand for
that's how we lived in the past
on another shore.
Another sea, other tides uncovering
we had a whole different eye for discovery
The world is yours? Drop the Y
Nah, the world is Ours
I tell you why that we gotta move with the stars.
