[CunninLynguists - Dying Nation lyrics]
"There's an old saying in Tennesse
I know it's in Texas
It's probably in Tennesse that
Says fool me once
Shame on shame on you if you fool
Me you can't get fooled again"
I live in a nation that
Relies on business and crime
And the leaders are politician
Guys livin' a lie
Who bullshit like everyone else for
A nickel and dime
America just as corrupt as it is online
Using freedom and entertainment just
To keep us sedated
But remember what the declaration
Of independence stated?
All men are equal and that's
The way they're created?
But when that was written
Black and white people were segregated
And this country still breeds racism
Just not as blatant to call us the land of
The free is overstatement
Cause ain't NOBODY free we
All being watched quietly
National security's an invasion of privacy
Drug Trafficking, conspiracy
Murder and piracy
What America can't have they take silently
Sometimes violently
Open up your eyes and see
Even dirty money is supporting our economy
It's all backwards like
Negative split photography
But, I guess that's the way it's got to be
United we stand on this land
And we do all crimes
Facin' a Dyin' Nation listening for
The new told lies
"Facin' a dyin' nation listening for
The new told lies"
I live in a nation where it
Ain't what's physical that fights us
Now it's silent strikes
From political insiders
A black market government where
Being criminal is righteous
Ran by bloodlines that were dirty before Isis
The crisis has even spread
To spiritual infestations
Confessionals filled with sexual molestations
Professionals so set on capitalization
They don't notice their children
Freebasin' in their million dollar basements
Babies having babies in the hood I grew up in
Hands are too small for the
Guns that they be bustin'
Schools underfunded, graduates retain nothing
On Capitol Hll it's barely
A topic of discussion
Kids like, why should I think about college
When this hood situation is
Holding me hostage
And even if I fought and bought the knowledge
I'd prolly get shot 41 times by
A cop over my wallet
Shiiiiit so wherever you are
Don't inhale the second hand smoke
From it's victory cigar
Motivate yourself don't just stand
On the side
Facing a dying nation and listening
To the new told lies
Somebody dial 9-1-1
It's mass confusion, mass contusions
At last we losin' Uncle Sam
To a mass of tumors
And that's the rumor at least
It's soon to be seen
If it's true that the beast
Is soon to decease
Catchin' blood clots in the crude oil
That runs through his veins and
Up thru his brain its tough to maintain
If he was low income he'd already been gone
Insurance paperwork gettin handled by Enron
And scandalous friends call to speak
Even Bill O'Reilly's wrapped in
A hospital bedsheet
With a pointed hat, where the ointment at?
Wax the taxpayers backside for a tax hike
Woulda had a Catholic priest at his bedside
But they were too busy giving these
Boy Scouts a leg ride
Temperature stay high but no pain
Cus the presidents Hooked on
Phonics and cocaine
Product of old age and Alzheimers disease
Medical bills raised from all types of fees
Looks to the American people to show love
But his Social Security ran out
- pull the plug (flatline)
I know it's in Texas
It's probably in Tennesse that
Says fool me once
Shame on shame on you if you fool
Me you can't get fooled again"
I live in a nation that
Relies on business and crime
And the leaders are politician
