Bambu - A Dollar lyrics
[Bambu - A Dollar lyrics]
Well I don't know
If I'm walking on solid ground
Cause everything around me is crumbling down
And all I want is for someone to help me
I need a dollar bill
A dollar bill is what I need
Gimmie that money gimmie that money
The Obama promise that change is coming late
California state unemployment rate got
Daddy running in place
The change that wouldn't fill a
Homeless man's cup up
Foreclosure on a home got Americans fucked up
So what to do now?
Tea Party screaming and the
Bush Administration wipe
Their hands clean Leaving that debt
And war budget's on Barack's black hands
George W is laughing from
His Texas land ranch
And smack dab in the center of
It all is the fall
Of the gentrified homes of your mama and pa
Cause we done blew a whole
Wad on electing Barack and now his feet up
Complacent we just trusting 'em all
No question
So we gon' need a dollar and dream
Just to pay the school tuition
Car payments for the dean huh
Socialism hella scares y'all
But that's the only way to balance
All I'm trying to tell y'all
Make money, spend money, lose money
It's fishy that big banks
And presidents are chummy
Funny, that the term health insurance exists
Insuring cars, insuring health makes no sense
The basic needs of a people
Shouldn't ask to have it
And it shouldn't be determined by
A man's tax bracket
Life has no price but the dollars to white
If the dollars stack high
You gon' have a long life
But, let you be that sucker with minimum wage
You gon' die from a flu
While they living with AIDS
Pay big bucks for a pill
Just to breath straight
Might as well cover your house
In yellow police tape it's a crime scene
Just to be a working class man
Complimented back hands
Eating food out of a can immigrants land
Hoping just for pieces of a pie
And turn to crime when they realize
That dream is a lie because
If I'm walking on solid ground
Cause everything around me is crumbling down
And all I want is for someone to help me
I need a dollar bill
A dollar bill is what I need
Gimmie that money gimmie that money
The Obama promise that change is coming late
California state unemployment rate got
Daddy running in place
The change that wouldn't fill a
Homeless man's cup up
Foreclosure on a home got Americans fucked up
So what to do now?

Their hands clean Leaving that debt
And war budget's on Barack's black hands
