[CHORUS]
|
You should go go
|
Feed your marrow
|
Then the Afro
|
Then the Euro
|
Anything
|
For that green
|
It's a scam
|
It's a scheme
|
|
(clips from news, legislators)
|
|
Four or five dollar bills
|
[?]
|
I've been in the same situation
|
Heartbeat racing
|
You come up but you don't eat
|
I done had to sleep in a train station
|
Going stop to stop
|
But no place to be
|
Paperchasin'
|
Filling out applications
|
For weeks
|
Just tryin' to get up on my feet
|
But they ain't hiring
|
So a nigga's forced to resort to the streets
|
Just to make ends meet
|
It's called survival
|
The struggle continues
|
If it offends you, let me remind you
|
We all have instincts to do what we have to,
|
To make it through, and this drive is primal
|
Whether you at MickeyD's takin' an order
|
Or comin' from Florida transportin' a quarter
|
Or on a corner
|
We all got needs
|
I gotta feed my son
|
He gotta feed his daughter
|
Naw, I ain't no capitalist-exploiter
|
But I know the rules of supply and demand
|
Whoever controls the product
|
Controls the supply
|
And, hey, well that's the law of the land
|
Make your own stimulus plan
|
|
(more)
|
|
Don't ever think slavery was just about race
|
Slavery was about money
|
They say the USA was founded on freedom
|
But slavery built this country
|
Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln,
|
Hamilton, Jackson, Grant
|
Were all slaveowners
|
And even today
|
From Clinton to Bush
|
They runnin' the same game on us
|
They so-called war on terror
|
Is just a ploy to get more cheddar
|
Dinero, the root of all evil
|
They come in bombin', shootin', exploitin' people
|
And call it freedom
|
It's a cold game
|
And it's the same from the top of the food chain
|
All the way down to the little homie in the street gangs
|
Slangin' cocaine, it's how they do thangs
|
It's the American way
|
Imperialism, have it your way
|
Whatever it takes
|
Whoever gets fucked in the process, that's okay
|
That's how they play
|
So you can't blame us
|
Them dead white men on that paper ain't us
|
We still gotta hustle for the benefits, man
|
My grind is my stimulus plan...
