| Or treated very equally as far as I can see…
|
| Hell no we ain’t alright!
|
| Now all these press conferences, breaking news alert (this just in)
|
| While your government looks for a war to win

| Flames for the blame game, names where I begin
|
| Walls closin and get some help to my kin
|
| (Who cares?) While the rest of the Bush nation stares
|
| As the drama unfolds, as we the people under the stairs
|
| Fifty percent of this «Son of a Bush"nation
|
| is like, hatin on Haiti and settin up assassinations
|
| Ask Pat Robertson, quiz him (mmm — smells like terrorism)
|
| Racism in the news, still one-sided views
|

|
| Because they be sayin us blacks loot
