Verse 1
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!
Verse 2
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!
Verse 3
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 benefitted, 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!
