5 Finger Discount! Walkin' down the aisles at the big box corporate store See all these shiny things that I just can't afford I take a look around, make sure I'm being ignored I put what I want right in my pocket and I walk on out the door I never rob no mom and pop what do you take me for? Stealing from both friend or foe goes against my morals But when it comes to these companies they don't deserve my dime My conscious is clear, it's all on clearance for free 99 I'm shopliftin' Shopliftin' Take if off the shelf Treat yourself Why not shop lift it? These corporate stores they hoard resources and run on greed While the poor can't afford to meet their basic needs They exploit their labor force, comercialize and commodify They line their pockets with massive profits So I line mine with merchandise Steal from the rich Give to the poor They've got their tax loopholes Wealth hidden offshore If we can't have wholesale change We'll have to nickel and dime Scannin' bananas for every item at the self checkout line Shopliftin' Shopliftin' Fight the man any way you can Why not shoplift it? I pilfered plenty of packs of pens Pinched some vitamins and supplements Grabbed a bag of jerky and a bottle of booze Boosted some juice and kombucha too Snatched a fashionable shirt I'd seen Nicked a new novel I been meaning to read Took my time didn't call attention Didn't pay no mind to the loss prevention Nabbed some nailpolish cuz it only cost a buck Absconded with some condoms cuz they cost far too much Robbed them of salami When I went down to the Deli Took all their free samples Till I filled up my big belly I stole a look at one last treat before I decided to leave Shoplifted some chocolate cuz all chocolate should be free Shoplifting Shoplifitng Take the power back, kleptomaniacs Why not shoplift it?

My baby's got a baby and baby that's okay with me I've been out on the road lord knows she gets lonely She gets her kicks it don't get me down Cuz I know I'll get mine when I'm back in town I don't get all competitive She got enough to go around When it comes to love I want abundant connection I don't mistake my sweetheart for some kinda possession Nobody's body is my property What turns me on is autonomy Ain't no need to lie and cheat Honey, do as you please My lover got another lover buddy that's good with me I don't see the use in fuming with jealousy It don't mean she loves me any less When I get home she got plenty left Honestly monogamy just seems monotonous When it comes to love I wanna spread the wealth All of that envy it's bad for your health Nobody's body is my property What turns me on is autonomy Ain't no need to lie and cheat Honey, do as you please When it comes to love I want the free version I learned a couple new words Like liberation and compersion Nobody's body is my property When gets me hot is autonomy Ain't no need to lie and cheat Honey do as you please Do whoever you please
