[Dead prez - Politrikkks lyrics]
You already know what time it is
Dead prez dot com information news
Everywhere we go every day on TV
They be talking about who you gonna vote for
You got a black man running
But, I wonder if he get in
Who he gonna open up the door for?
I don't wanna to discourage my folk
I believe in hope
I just want us to want more
Politics is a game
How they keep us contained
There gotta be more that we could hope for
Democrats and Republicans
Just 2 sides of the same coin
Either way, it's still white power
It's the same system just changed form
You wanna vote? please, do!
Cast your ballot, let your voice be heard
But what I do want to say is
After the election you'll see
Mark my words
It's politic time again
It's politrick time again
It's politic time again
It's politrick time again
Shoot the messenger!
This is the most important
Election of all time
The government's committing the biggest
Of all crimes
These bullshit politicians say they
Speaking for the people
Before they ran for office
They were shitting on the people
Billion dollar campaigns
Trillion dollar bailout
Anybody know the definition of
A sell-out? huh? And if Obama win
He wouldn't be the first black
Take your 2 dollar bill and turn
It over to the back (you see? right there)
But with the TV on
You only hearing they voice
The system is broken
They trying to beat a dead horse
Go ahead and vote for the lesser of two evils
I plot, plan
And strategize with the poor people
The middle class will say
This opinion is irresponsible
But, if you ain't got no healthcare
They kickin' you out the hospital
McKinney, Clemente, off in the Green Party
No disrespect, we need a Red, Black
And Green Party like Marcus Garvey's
Even if Obama wins uncle Sam ain't my friend
It's politrikkks time again
It's bullshit time again
The time is on the side of the
Oppressed today it's against the oppressor
And truth is on the side of the
Oppressed today it's against the oppressor
You'll see it you'll see terrorism
