LYRIC FOR SALE

By Will Ekwue

Chorus
They say “do not commit the crime
Unless you are willing to do the time”
I say “I don’t give a damn what “they” say
Cos I’ve been prepping day after day

Verse 1
Working at the bond gives me the perfect opportunity
Where for months I have been scoping out the scenery
Day after day I take an account of all the activities
From sunrise to sunset without missing a beat
Even as a computer wizard, I’ve been working for pittance
And now it’s time to hit the big ‘uns
The blueprint is embedded inside my memory
Time to get paid & be totally free

Chorus
They say “do not commit the crime
Unless you are willing to do the time”
I say “I don’t give a damn what “they” say
Cos I’ve been prepping day after day

Verse 2
I have a trusty sidekick named Jeffrey
Who used his charm to obtain the master key
From the bank manager he’d long since befriended
Never realising that she was going to take the hit
We have been totally focused on our mission
And ain’t gonna let no one mess up our vision
Tonight’s the night & after this threat
there’ll be no turning back like the kiss of death

Chorus
They say “do not commit the crime
Unless you are willing to do the time”
I say “I don’t give a damn what “they” say
Cos I’ve been prepping day after day

Verse 3
After disabling all the security alarms & cameras
We make our way to the PC’s mainframe which isn’t far from us
Download all the necessary files & codes
Encrypt them to 2 offshore accounts which are untraceable
Make our way home & fire up our laptops
Can hardly believe we weren’t spotted/stopped by no cops
The number of zeros starring back at me
Makes me jump in the air & clap my hands with glee

Chorus
They say “do not commit the crime
Unless you are willing to do the time”
I say “I don’t give a damn what “they” say
Cos I’ve been prepping day after day
