Hey, quel dommage, what a shame, don’t it mean the same thang?
Ain’t it heavy with some skin in the game?
Hey, quel dommage, what a shame, don’t it mean the same thang?
Now you lion, who you kiddin, ain’t the mane
French fry, fly guy, knife to a drive by
Why lie? I try, don’t need no alibi
Co-sign, cap-tine, rappin’ like it’s Halftime
My prime, align, stars along the skyline

Hey Matthew Jay, wanna get it, how you livin?
Large and in charge like a cartoon Bond villain
Killin’ con-science, de-fiant, straight chillin
Cap millin, Liu’s Crew stacking steel to the ceiling
Gotta feeling now that it’s about to get harder
Wanna beg or barter, fight fire like a firestarter
If you ain’t got the heart or the stomach for the war
Gotta factor when you figure what da eff you fightin’ for

Hey, quel dommage, what a shame, don’t it mean the same thang?
Whole universe started with a bang
Got dang! Life changer, Danger's my middle name
Extra large medium well done stake my claim to fame
Game’s got a little bit of flame to the fire
Well rested, got tested, never bested, won’t retire
The government’s conspired to lock me on a list
I got something to say and it goes like this

Hey, quel dommage, what a shame, don’t it mean the same thang?
Would it matter, could things just stay the same?
Do we listen to each other or just weaponize the pain?
Prioritize the pulpit for political gain?

Hey, quel dommage, what a shame, don’t it mean the same thang?
If it do, we disagree, who holds the blame?
Eye for an eye, grab the bow and take aim
Killing for a kingdom - a peasant’s futile game

Hey, quel dommage, what a shame, don’t it mean the same thang?
If you said it instead, would it have changed?
Or would we lose it to the vapor, paper trails, another name
Parlors full of failed martyrs who hanged themselves in vain

Hey, quel dommage, what a shame, don’t it mean the same thang?
Would you believe I mean just what I say?
Maybe listen to the words and heed the deeds of day
Or keep talking while I’m talking and then look the other way

Quel Dommage
