Without just cause just probable loss 
that's the case kicked out passed and tossed 
drawed the short stick there without much lost 
cause it's a formality back to reality
cause if it's seized up you're back to formalities
just another crack in this goddamn society 
fucked by the work of corporate scandality
but there just saying an audits gone bad but they're cracked by authorities 
ripped off majorities
Go back and forth to court you see
screw some more families

But it's all a formality backed by society 
getting blown off like all the minorities 
fighting for seniority 
it's all abused forced when they
take my good earned money see
it's a formality taxed by the government
state and feds of higher up 
cause they can fuck you cause 
that's just how it works 
yeah just a formality 
just a formality 

You're writing those checks out on paper 
saying you'll promise to pay me later 
this the last time I do you the favor
never saw nothing back just lost track
cause you never think back to the one 
who came to back you with the gun
it was you who could of been caught
blown up and shot
popped another motherfucker for less then what you got
there comes the day you fade away 
bangbang there goes your say 
ain't here to play those games 
it's cash you got or lose your shot 
I've never missed nor never-never forgot 

but it's just a formality
caught by society 
break back to the side that we 
want to come clean with me 
maybe then we'll be free from all formalities
proceeding be I'll leave ya be if you be respecting me 
just remember y'all it's just a formality 
that's how this world revolves ya see 
just a formality
just a formality

But it's all a formality backed by society 
getting blown off like all the minorities 
fighting for seniority 
it's all abused forced when they
take my good earned money see
it's a formality taxed by the government
state and feds of higher up 
cause they can fuck you cause 
that's just how it works 
yeah just a formality 
just a formality 


Here's another one using the system all down 
laying around not working now 
but we're the ones who keep on paying out 
you're just sleeping using the welfare route 
get off your ass fast work at last 
cause I'm sick of paying those damn taxes 
I'm losing my money to you the one 
who does nothing
another waste to society adding to formalities

It's all a formality backed by society 
getting blown off like all the minorities 
fighting for seniority 
it's all abused forced when they
take my good earned money see
it's a formality taxed by the government
state and feds of higher up 
cause they can fuck you cause 
that's just how it works 
yeah just a formality 
just a formality
