REI| Dead Presidents & Rust

[Verse 1] Wiped my rust on your burner, smeared the glass with grease Grubby prints on the lens, now your rhetoric cease Ain't a slick word walkin' through this borough tonight Grittin' teeth, lookin' shook when the cipher ain't right Crack the leather, hit the register, cover the tab Keep the copper, son, pay me in the posture you had No tick on the slate, ain't no mercy on loan Close the book on the corner 'fore the chalk outlines grown [Pre-Chorus] Still flappin' them lips? Put your tongue on the scale Count the Benjamins down, let the dead presidents sail One knot, two knots, three on the floor Hock the sneak-tip shoes just to make for the door [Chorus] Wiped my rust on your burner, left it stained in the dirt Break the bank on the counter, pay the tax or get hurt Wiped my rust on your burner, left it stained in the dirt Break the bank on the counter, pay the tax or get hurt Can't buff out the grime once the record is spun Bite your tongue with the dough 'fore the damage is done Can't buff out the grime once the record is spun Settle up on the strip, and we call it all done [Verse 2] Don't be rollin' them eyes at the cashbox, kid Hands shakin' on the nickel like you know what you did Frontin' big in the drop, but your pockets got air Broke pride thin as rolling paper, nothin' to spare I might smirk in your grill, but this iron don't bend Ain't runnin' on your time, this the line where you end Take the bite if you hungry, but chew on the cold Every dime that you borrow buys a body that's sold [Pre-Chorus] Still flappin' them lips? Put your tongue on the scale Count the Benjamins down, let the dead presidents sail One knot, two knots, three on the floor Hock the sneak-tip shoes just to make for the door [Chorus] Wiped my rust on your burner, left it stained in the dirt Break the bank on the counter, pay the tax or get hurt Wiped my rust on your burner, left it stained in the dirt Break the bank on the counter, pay the tax or get hurt Can't buff out the grime once the record is spun Bite your tongue with the dough 'fore the damage is done Can't buff out the grime once the record is spun Settle up on the strip, and we call it all done [Bridge] Strip the front, drop the fur, show your ribs to the brick Runnin' game on the pavement don't work with this trick Keep tomorrow on ice, show your hand on the box One roll of the dice, bet your blood on the locks [Final Chorus] Wiped my rust on your burner, left it stained in the dirt Break the bank on the counter, pay the tax or get hurt Wiped my rust on your burner, left it stained in the dirt Break the bank on the counter, pay the tax or get hurt Can't buff out the grime once the record is spun Bite your tongue with the dough 'fore the damage is done Can't buff out the grime once the record is spun Settle up on the strip, and we call it all done
