lyrics

In this system of checks and balances
We gotta check our balances
we have broken knecks and calouses
While our leaders live in palaces
After further analysis
We should give them pimp chalises
So we can recognize phalics and their fallacies
it’s patriotic duty?
nothing butt pirates and they stealing all the booty
The president could be a shia or a sunni
It could be george Clooney It’s still scripted like a movie
So brother where art thou
Imperialism was a game, you made it an art now
You talking bout change, waiting for you to start now
We drowning in sorrow, can you build noah’s arc now
Cause the people bout to panic
And they say you just rearranging chairs on the titanic
The ships off course, looking for someone to man it
Maybe captain sully, captain kirk, captain America and captain planet

(CHORUS)

You know the people are fickle
they want it to rain, even if they get hit with nickels
corporations have us sucking their nipples
if you protest they brand you with the hammer and the sickle
cause they believe in trickle, down economics
I’ll break it down for you like sounding out phonics
they pissin’ on you, welfare is colonic
e pluribus Unum doesn’t translate to ebonics
while their wealth grows like they using hydroponics
they got sticky fingers till we throw guns in the air like onyx
and take back what’s ours
we wait for mannah from heaven, they us send golden showers
the recession is just like the towers
they intimidate the people to they hide and cower
they see it, they conquer and then devour
I wanna take out these fat bastards like my name is Austin Powers.

(CHORUS)

These rappers spray their spit until they believe themselves
Talking bread, cheese and dough, they can barely feed themselves
worst kind of liars, those who deceive themselves
give Obama credit for changing how brothers see themselves
His accomplishments are more than notable
He speaks to the poor and vulnerable
Like those in NO who weren’t floatable
His fathers day speech should be a hip-hop quotable
Maybe he can quench your thirst
We still excited cause the brother is a first
He seems wise enough to guide this country through its worst
But if you drown does it matter whose driving the hearst
Cause he’s presidents, we’re all political game
He shoots where ever big corporations aim
he’s an inspiration to sons with funny names
Nothing’s gonna change til money doesn’t reign
