Reagan |
| The ballot or the bullet, some freedom or some bullshit |
| Will we ever do it big, or keep just settling for little shit |
| We brag on having bread, but none of us are bakers |
| We all talk having greens, but none of us own acres |
| If none of us on acres, and none of us grow wheat |
| Then who will feed our people when our people need to eat |
| So it seems our people starve from lack of understanding |
| Cause all we seem to give them is some balling and some dancing |
| And some talking about our car and imaginary mansions |
| We should be indicted for bullshit we inciting |
| Hella children deaf and pretending it’s exciting |
| We are advertisements for agony and pain |
| We exploit the youth, we tell them to join a gang |
| We tell them dope stories, introduce them to the game |
| Just like Oliver North introduced us to cocaine |
| In the 80s when the bricks came on military planes |
| A few months ago I told the american people I did not trade arms for hostages. |
| My heart and my best intentions still tell me that’s true, but the facts and |
| the evidence tell me it is not |
| The end of the Reagan Era, I’m like number twelver |
| Old enough to understand the shit’ll change forever |
| They declared the war on drugs like a war on terror |
| But it really did was let the police terrorize whoever |
| But mostly black boys, but they would call us «niggers» |
| And lay us on our belly, while they fingers on they triggers |
| They boots was on our head, they dogs was on our crotches |
| And they would beat us up if we had diamonds on our watches |
| And they would take our drugs and money, as they pick our pockets |
| I guess that that’s the privilege of policing for some profit |
| But thanks to Reaganomics, prisons turned to profits |
| Cause free labor is the cornerstone of US economics |
| Cause slavery was abolished, unless you are in prison |
| You think I am bullshitting, then read the 13th Amendment |
| Involuntary servitude and slavery it prohibits |
| That’s why they giving drug offenders time in double digits |
| Ronald Reagan was an actor, not at all a factor |
| Just an employee of the country’s real masters |
| Just like the Bushes, Clinton and Obama |
| Just another talking head telling lies on teleprompters |
| If you don’t believe the theory, then argue with this logic |
| Why did Reagan and Obama both go after Qaddafi |
| We invaded sovereign soil, going after oil |
| Taking countries is a hobby paid for by the oil lobby |
| Same as in Iraq, and Afghanistan |
| And Ahmadinejad say they coming for Iran |
| They only love the rich, and how they loathe the poor |
| If I say any more they might be at my door |
| Who the fuck is that staring in my window |
| Doing that surveillance on Mister Michael Render |
| I’m dropping off the grid before they pump the lead |
| I leave you with four words: I’m glad Reagan dead |
