$8 Smoothie Lyrics by Jared Paul

Get My Ghost

2015

[Intro]
I need to talk to you all about an important issue; a troubling development in today's economy...he he he he
[Verse 1]
I went to the vegan bakery
And when I saw the juice bar, I didn't want no carbs
They had that blueberrry, pineapple blast
Said to myself, "a smoothie's where it's at."
But I looked at the board, could not believe my eyes
There was only one size, it said 7.99
Could that be the truth? Did I misread the line?
But make no mistake it was really the case
That's an...
[Chorus]
$8 smoothie, $8 smoothie
I just can't believe it's an $8 smoothie
$8 smoothie, $8 smoothie
I can't let you do me for an $8 smoothie
[2x]
[Verse 2]
A penny go from $8, 7.99
Educated consumers see the way you advertise
Capitalist trick to make me think it's a deal
But I am not fooled and I won't take the bait
I can do the math, I can tabulate
7.99 - just as wack as 8
Normally I prefer to cook in my home
My kitchen is cleaner, rock the skills of our own
Money's tight and I got deals all locally grown
But sometimes it's good to get out of my zone
So I'm willing to pay, but not to get robbed
Soda is nasty, I don't want candy or carbs
I need something fresh, I want something fruity
I need something healthy, I want something juicy
But I'd kiss a white cop's boot live on Fox News
Before I ever let you punk me for an...
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
C'mon now - this ain't New York or L.A
And even if it was, I still wouldn't pay
Might as well hang a sign up on the door sayin'
"We sell organic juice but not to the poor."
I can't afford it so, I go somewhere else
Head back to my house and make it myself
The plan all along don't even mess with his time
He'll just raise up the price, it's what's polite
In a scheme to completely and discreetly
Gentrify the East Side, financial segregation
Welcome mass money like a trap door
Invisible border, ever present class war
I used to ignore but today's peasant got options
Infinite internet, social media outlets
Not only will I call to complain
I'mma make sure my whole city get wise to the game
[Chorus]
[Outro]
He, he, he - $8 smoothie?! Better be a 5th Golden Ticket to the Wonka Factory in that shit. Seriously man - I am not giving you $8 for a smoothie; not unless there's like...a house salad and a back rub that comes with it
