| It was all about sweet 16, innocence lost
|
| Lost, fallen for Kelly, blonde chick, and I thought
|
| I thought money was God and Rome was built in a day
|
| As they salute the troops floating on the money parade
|
| Let’s say it:
|
| Be all you can be. |
| Be black, be white, be proud, be free
|
| Get money, get yours (get yours). |
| Get a girl, get a wife. |
| That’s love.
|
| I’m poor (I'm poor)
|
| Find God right now (right now)
|
| Go to church. |
| Go to work. |
| Clock in. I’m down
|
| Nigga, pay your bills
|
| But I can’t do shit ‘cause I ain’t got money in my pockets
|
| When I get that fucking check from this bullshit-ass job that I got
|
| «I personally want to reach as many people as possible and I try to put
|
| whatever I can do into the most, uh, common terms»
|
| Sweet 16, heroes and all
|
| Eight try, eight die fighting fear for applause. |
| They march
|
| Eight soldiers with a thirst for blood
|
| Front lines. |
| Land mines. |
| Took two as they fall—it's war
|
| Four goons all in unison sing
|
| Fuck bells. |
| They yell, «Let liberty reign!»
|
| And then when two shots rang and sang for the day
|
| They kill Jill, kill Bill in the money parade
|
| March
|
| Drink deep, drink slow in the land
|
| Hope floats but nothing obtained
|
| I don’t see any love in your eyes
|
| Just pretense, defense, a well of lies
|
| Fuck you! |
| Never stood up for nothing
|
| Pillar of ignorance toppled on spires of selflessness
|
| Die, fools, die! |
| Nothing can ever live
|
| Plastic is policy. |
| Poison punch for kids
|
| Can you hear me out?
|
| Tired of bullshit—so tired of bullets and
|
| Tired of blood on my hands. |
| Tired of superman
|
| Tired of fangs hiding behind smiles and
|
| Tired of white people and tired of niggas too
|
| Beautiful murderer in the sky
|
| Please bless us with open eyes
|
| Sorrow, tomorrow lies
|
| Will we redeem?
|
| No!
|
| «I think the, the feelings in, uh, in art should be more selective and that,
|
| at least, uh, the artist should be responsible to try to perpetuate the
|
| feelings which he feels will be most beneficial or those feelings which will,
|
| uh, most contribute to a better world»
|
| Fire in the hole as we run on coal
|
| Silver and gold exchanged for the soul (no)
|
| Do what you’re told. |
| Don’t do what you feel
|
| Wheat, dairy, textiles, steel
|
| Middle East and Africa
|
| Watch your back cause we’re after ya
|
| Money parade for money to take
|
| Money that’s spent from money that’s made
|
| In the end, it’s the bottom line
|
| Suck it up and you quit that crime
|
| Work to the bone, don’t see yo kids (uh uh)
|
| Grab a check and you spend that bitch
|
| We need cops so you pay that tax
|
| Who needs God? |
| We got Equifax
|
| Who needs God? |
| We got Equifax
|
| Hello, progress. |
| Fade to black
|
| «The future is just downright beautiful!» |
