"Jealousy’s The Mother Of Invention"

Words by Elvis And Shade
Verse 1
He had her hand, I had a hangover,
A head full of half-built schemes.
He wore confidence like a leather holster,
I just had gasoline and dreams.
Built my life outta borrowed tension —
Yeah, jealousy’s the mother of invention.
Verse 2
Learned to weld with spite and whiskey,
Torchin’ steel till it bent my way.
Turned my hunger into something risky,
Made a livin’ off a bad cliché.
Every scar was divine intervention —
‘Cause jealousy’s the mother of invention.
Chorus
Don’t call it envy — call it fuel.
Don’t call it wrong — I ain’t your fool.
Some folks pray for their redemption,
I just build it, bolt by bolt —
Jealousy’s the mother of invention.
Post-Chorus (Swing-Rap Tag)
Ain’t no sin if the wheel keeps spinnin’,
I get mean when the world keeps winnin’,
But that’s how the work gets done — beginnin’ to beginnin’.
Verse 3
Rich men buy their marble legends,
Poets pawn their pride for rent.
Me, I write with a restless vengeance,
Till the ink runs outta intent.
No halo, no divine ascension —
Just jealousy — the mother of invention.
Bridge
It ain’t love that keeps the motor turnin’,
It’s that burn that won’t back down.
The need to matter, the need for learnin’
How to make a crown from a frown.
A crooked kind of resurrection —
Gods To ole school with no directions
Final Chorus / Outro
Don’t call it sin — call it desire.
It’s what lit the match, not what built the fire.
If you see me chasin’ my reflection —
Don’t offer peace, don’t ask permission —
Jealousy’s the mother of invention.

This is good Elvis! Some lovely lines in there, too many to repeat, but the first one that caught my eye was:
He wore confidence like a leather holster
The mood is gritty and down to earth, but some of the phrasing is poetic. And that's a great combo.

Great lyrics, man. Lots of really cool wordplay and well...its true, isn't it? Jealousy, the ultimate double edged sword. AI did a good job with the music. Really captured the gritty sound as RDM pointed out.
