Bylaws in the trap

Songtext

(Intro) Yeah... declassified, baby 2003 they let this out the vault But the dirt been cookin' since '91 Robert McConnell on the line — let's go (Hook) I got bylaws in the trap, bylaws in the trap Sixty voting members but they don't know how to act President Jones tryna sneak the bylaws past I said "delay that draft, boy, you movin' too fast" Bylaws in the trap, bylaws in the trap $293K deficit, man, where the money at? Endowment drippin' dry like a leak in the ceiling ASPR goin' bankrupt and I got that feeling (Verse 1) Rob McConnell, Pittsburgh, Langley Hall Sendin' letters to the trustees like "y'all gon' fall" Jones on a power trip, seven August, wrote it himself No input from the committee, kept it on the shelf Emily Cook six pages of criticism Board got two weeks to read it — that's a pessimism Quorum dirty, procedurеs filthy He tryna cap the board at ten, man, that's how they get mе Twelve down to ten so one faction can capture it Parapsychologists capped at thirty percent That's a hostile takeover in a tweed jacket I see the whole scheme, Jack, and I'mma hack it (Hook) (Verse 2) Now let's talk money, Patrice Keane contract 55K first year and that's just facts Plus twelve-five in fringes, plus seven flat "Educational allotment" — IRS call that a trap Three-year guarantee and a golden parachute Severance sweet like she looted the fruit Six weeks vacation plus sick days on top While the Society bleedin' and the deficits pop 1989:205 in the hole 1990: 292, lose control1.6 million endowment eatin' itself Bankrupt in three years, put that on the shelf Jones negotiated solo, Krippner ain't see it Schlitz on the phone like "this ain't agreed" Signed in July, board didn't approve That's a shady little contract, that's the truth (Bridge — dirty dolphin breakdown) Hold up... Scott Jones talkin' 'bout dolphins 🐬 Said the dolphins got ESP, channelin' signals Swimmin' with a pod off the Little Bahama Bank Tryna find an alien artifact in the tank Hall of Records under the Sphinx, Cayce told him A.R.E. cut the check and the story unfoldin' Telepathic CETI, Jones on the mic "I'm in channeled communication" — homie, take a hike McConnell said it plain: that rationale's a fantasy Higher order infinitesimal — that's the math on me (Verse 3) Atlantic University, "accredited"? Nah Not in Peterson's, not in World of Learnin' at all One full-time faculty, rest all adjunct Tuition refunds page lookin' like a funkt Edgar Cayce on the catalog, ideal excerpt "Ideal of Atlantic" — man, that's some disrespect Jones a trustee there while he run the ASPR Contaminatin' the bridge from near and far Two cultures, physical and spiritual McConnell want the method empirical Vague objectives in the draft, Article II Beautiful music but it don't say what we do (Outro) So delay them bylaws, table that motion Special investigating committee, stir the potion May '92 election, clean up the mess ASPR survived, but the scars on the dress Declassified 2003, now you know the lore Trap song out a CIA file — who want more? (Beat fades with dolphin clicks) 🐬💨
