| As the woe of the common man grows
|
| I suppose
|
| I should flow
|
| Think of all the things that we should know
|
| The hood grows out to the burbs
|
| Too many words to describe how we’ve gotten what we didn’t deserve
|
| The nerve of these leaders to cheat us
|
| Dangling the sweetest opportunities for home ownership
|
| Then flip
|
| Now it’s over
|
| Foreclosure
|
| Four soldiers died in Iraq
|
| Stumbled in a trap
|
| Ain’t no bringing em back
|
| I’m swinging the axe to chop off, whatever pops off
|
| The Nasdaq drop off
|
| But people are not soft
|
| We’re pissed off, fucked over, overlooked
|
| Overbooked for unemployment
|
| Lost and ready to destroy shit
|
| B- Boy shit
|
| That’s what I remain on
|
| I stay strong
|
| Call me up, my name rain napalm
|
| You’re funding a war
|
| But you can’t fund us?
|
| And you plan to turn the planet to dust?
|
| I heard it today!
|
| It started when the planes hit home
|
| Then it really hit homes
|
| Now we’re out in the street
|
| With no shoes on our feet
|
| So I turn to the beat
|
| Keep my mental physique
|
| Functioning at it’s peak
|
| Til you call me elite
|
| Then I repeat the steps
|
| Give some change to vets
|
| They caught you with bullets
|
| They caught us with debt
|
| I step silent
|
| In attempts to side step violence
|
| Tap into my brain so I can remain timeless
|
| I’m just, out here trying to cope
|
| Try to eat a little food, try to buy a little smoke
|
| Choke a couple politicians
|
| Cause I’ve got a couple dollars missing
|
| Buy some lotion so my skin’ll glisten
|
| Missile hissin'
|
| Direct hit when you didn’t expect
|
| All ordered by a president we didn’t elect
|
| So I’m hoping that the DJ will give this some play
|
| So the people that’ll listen can say
|
| We heard it Today!
|
| They were willing to give people with bad credit loans
|
| Cause they knew within a few years
|
| We’re out of our homes
|
| And they can buy up all the same properties they sold us
|
| For the wealthy and maniacal the shit was a gold rush
|
| They told us rates could fluctuate
|
| But they didn’t say they could spike
|
| Now our credit is like
|
| «How we gonna get another place?»
|
| Look at our face
|
| Distress at best
|
| And yes
|
| Anger manifests
|
| When our president
|
| Sees us drowning in the elements
|
| He really doesn’t give a fuck, so he acts with hesitance Bush offered only one
|
| tenth of us paupers
|
| Relief
|
| That may or may not decrease grief
|
| He’d rather help the lenders
|
| Original offenders
|
| That sent us off to get job number 3, humbly sacrificing education and health
|
| care
|
| He’d rather just perpetuate the war cause there’s wealth in it
|
| Health benefited, heavily tinted windows of CEO’s Rols (Royce)
|
| Remain closed
|
| So they never have to listen to those who oppose the path that they chose
|
| To slow economic woes
|
| They’ll prey upon our desperation
|
| Instead of seeking elevation
|
| Shit is catastrophic in my estimation
|
| It happened during a Republican reign
|
| And some of y’all still went and voted Mc Cain?
|
| I heard it today! |
