The court has seized their property, their cars and company accounts
A family hiding behind embroidered shirts, while stealing army\u2019s crown
Over a billion hryvnias gone, that\u2019s what the records found<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Good morning children, I\u2019m Igor Vladimirovich \u2013 your new teacher today
You might have heard about me in the news, or what the bloggers say
Or maybe in crime chronicles on TV, but hey \u2013 that\u2019s all okay
What matters is I\u2019m here now, and I\u2019ve got lessons to convey<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take out your pens and write this down \u2013 \u201cGrand Theft: The Master Class\u201d
First point: if duty calls you to serve state \u2013 don\u2019t do it clean, alas
There\u2019s no point being honest, you\u2019re not five, let\u2019s be realistic
If you don\u2019t steal it, someone else will \u2013 that\u2019s how the game statistics<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re forest sanitarians, we only take our share
If we don\u2019t do it, others come and leave the cupboard bare
The key point in this story is some crumbs must reach the masses
When time comes for reporting, show them what surpasses<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since 2005 I\u2019m in the game, man \u2013 trust my word
Through Cyprus, Burma, offshore games, our billions we convert
Through proper schemes and trusted means
Like Pythagoras\u2019 theorem \u2013 if you know what I mean<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Second point, crucial indeed \u2013 your personal connection
Choose them carefully, motivate through various selection
Gifts, positions, blackmail too, but don\u2019t overdo your part
Gather dirt slowly but surely, make it true art from the start<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best partners are your family, cards of your own suit
Stealing from the state becomes a dynasty pursuit
People sometimes wake and throw the old guard from their throne
When that happens, don\u2019t you worry \u2013 your son takes what you own<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Third point \u2013 two walls rule: blackmail and the bribe
Two walls that will protect you when they try to prescribe
Fourth point \u2013 invest in art, but seek the lowest kind
More money laundering needed \u2013 keep this rule in mind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fifth and final \u2013 don\u2019t stress about what people say
Thirty years of hate they\u2019ve shipped, we\u2019re still here today
Thousands of investigations, activist posts galore
Tell me children, has one of us ended up behind bars\u2019 door?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Come on children, why so quiet? I don\u2019t see your hands!
Share this lesson on Facebook, let it spread across the lands
Let them write their mantras there 24\/7 while we steal
In the offline world we laugh while in the Matrix they kneel<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some say things are changing, we just laugh and play
System\u2019s such a mighty beast, what can these ants convey?
You think truth will bend the lies someday somehow?
Well children, prove it then \u2013 that\u2019s your homework now<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Properties and jewels worth over a billion they acquired\u2026
Hard to believe while some give their last to volunteers inspired
The army suffers losses while others count their gain
The businessman\u2019s fianc\u00e9e\u2019s \u201cart\u201d laundered money down the drain
Details revealed in court\u2019s decision \u2013 two months to remain
With bail set high at millions \u2013 justice\u2019s refrain<\/p>\n\n\n\n
