[ sonny: ]
nicky machiavelli
let me tell you what he said
you wanna use the reins of power?
first you gotta use your head

nicky knew all the angles
nicky laid it out all clear
you gotta choose fear or love, kid
you gotta choose love or fear
nicky’s number one secret
was availability
that’s why i’m here on this corner
right where all the world can see

all my friends, they sleep easy
knowing that i’m always near
my enemies know it too, though
it ain’t about love, it’s fear

and as far as those friends go
nick suggests a real short leash
treat ’em well, but hey, not too well
keep ’em in your debt, capeesh?

give ’em too much, they won’t need ya
give too little and they’ll sneer
wanna know what to give ’em?
the answer ain’t love, it’s fear

frankie, towy, and jojo
look at how it is with them
sure, you think those fellas love me
think again, says nicky m

i make a joke, they start laughing
how they nearly stand and cheer
i’m funny, but i ain’t that funny
that laughter ain’t love, it’s fear
so then, which one is better?
me, i take my cues from nick
god, this looks a lot like weakness
even when you spread it thick

money can’t buy you friendship
love can always disappear
but fear is cash in the bank, kid
fear puts gas in your tank, kid

and now you’ve got nicky to thank, kid
forget about love
choose fear!

listen now when i tell you
this advice is you know whose
love or fear
it’s up to you, kid
but you live with what you choose

nicky told me his secret
i owe the guy my whole career
so now i think it’s up to you, kid
are you gonna choose love
or fear?
