Ask Somebody Who Ain't (If You Think The System's Workin' ...) |
She walked in Krystal’s |
I was getting some grub from my cousin Jason at the drive-through window |
They was wrong with the order so I went inside |
I saw a woman about thirty-five trying to apply |
She had three children |
She said two girls that were beautiful twins |
And a boy name Ian, y’all |
Opportunities rare and the money was low |
She was down with that ramen noodle-type show |
Sorta like a college student |
Lord |
She had this smile y’all |
That would fill the world with happiness and joy |
For anyone that could bring it outta her |
Where’s her man or at least her five other children |
Those were questions I felt like asking but I was afraid to know the answer |
She never planned for things to ever go that way |
If you think the system’s working — ask somebody who ain’t |
If you think the system’s working — ask somebody who ain’t |
Ask somebody who ain’t |
Ask somebody who ain’t |
Ask somebody who ain’t |
She pulled her bootstraps |
But her boots were torn and her feet were worn out from all the bullcrap |
This country promised her the pursuit of happiness |
Maverick bombs and other plans for pacifists |
Can you take a joke? |
And all those things gotta try to defend our entire country from corruption |
with the words of Thomas Jefferson |
She never planned for things to ever go that way |
If you think the system’s working — ask somebody who ain’t |
Ask somebody who ain’t |
Ask somebody who ain’t |
Ask somebody who ain’t |
Ask somebody who ain’t |
Ask somebody who ain’t |
Ask somebody who ain’t |
Ask somebody… |
