Confidence Game

I got a knee-jerk reaction to raise my voice
 Likely cause some shit
 There's something going on behind your eyes
 I can feel it
 But things are gonna get worse
 Before they get better
 So you better hurry up and wait
 This confidence game seems so clever
 Guess everyone's on the take
 They pat your back, then pick your pocket
 With eye contact and peddle the cure
 A pack of rats in a vat of cotton
 Working graveyard shifts to try and fix the score
 You never see 'em coming, never see 'em go
 Always running with something
 Don't they seem to float?
 Ghost notes in a minor tone
 Hand to God, no one knows
 I got a knee-jerk reaction to raise my voice
 Likely cause some shit
 There's something going on behind my eyes
 You can feel it
 Everyone keeps getting worse
 They keep getting better
 Better realize what's at stake
 It's a confidence scam right down to the letter
 C-on's through the treachery
 I'll run you down while you're running game
 Pay attention, better check that change
 For the counterfeit, they're all around you, kid
 Might look alike, but the feeling ain't the same
 Keep an arm's length at least
 Give yourself some free space
 Between handshakes and hand grenades
 No one says
 I got a knee-jerk reaction to raise my voice
 Likely cause some shit
 There's something going on inside your eyes
 I can feel it
 I got a knee-jerk reaction to raise my voice
 Likely cause some shit
 There's something going on behind my eyes
 You can feel it
