Substance

"Substance" is a song by LorD and Master. It details a person who thinks that because they have a lot of money, they're better than people who have less. The narrator of the song considers themselves to be less rich, but to have more substance than the subject of the song.

Lyrics

You’re so vacuous
In that suit of yours
Flashing that cash you got
You pay yourself a lot

There’s such a large amount
In your expense account
But it’s a role you played
It’s just a masquerade

Oh, I’m a man of substance
Take a while to think on that some
It’s not where you are 
But how far you’ve come

So you’re ignoring me
You do it pointedly
Because I see through you
The things you put me through

Oh, I’m a man of substance
Take a while to think on that some
It’s not where you are 
But how far you’ve come

You live a life so easy
Demeaning those who have less
So check your privilege
And clear up your own mess
