Dead prez - $timulus Plan lyrics

You should Google the Amero
Then the Afro then the Euro
Anything for that green
It's a scam it's a scheme

What people do for money
Anything for that green
What people do for money
It's a scam, it's a scheme
What people do for money
Anything for that green

We're talking about a bailout for some of
The wealthiest banks in the world
And yet we can't seem to help our own
Citizens who are having foreclosure crises -

-the bailout on the house floor, warning
It could destroy the dollar
And the global economy -



-working families are suffering
Unemployment is over 10% in
My own district, we have over 2, 300
People who have lost their
Homes to foreclosure
Retirement and pension funds
Are losing value
Local government can't make decisions -

For a five dollar bill
Certain parts of the real
You can get your blood spilled
On the concrete
Little 17 year old nigga doing
Foul in the hood
On the prowl, out in these streets
I've been in the same situation
Heartbeat racing
You come up or you don't eat
I done had to sleep in a train station
Going stop to stop, but no place to be
Paperchasing
Filling out applications for weeks
Just trying to get up on my feet
But they ain't hiring
So a nigga's forced to resort to the streets
Just to make ends meet it's called survival
The struggle continues if it offends you
Let me remind you we all have instincts
To do what we have to do to make it through
And this drive is primal
Whether you at MickeyD's taking an order
Or coming from Florida transporting a quarter
Or on a corner we all got needs
I gotta feed my son
He gotta feed his daughter
Naw, I ain't no capitalist-exploiter
But, I know the rules of supply and demand
Whoever controls the product
Controls the supply
And, well, hey that's the law of the land
Make your own stimulus plan

People lie people cheat
People steal people will
Do anything for that green
It's a scam it's a scheme
You should Google the Amero
Then the Afro then the Euro
Dollar bills don't make you royal
It can kill you it can cure you
Love for money root of evil
I say lack of it that's more accurate
Army, navy, special forces
Rob the land of it's resources
Gold, oil, guns, ice gas, corn, beans, rice
It's your life you better think twice
How bad you want that? Name your price

Don't ever think slavery was just about race
Slavery was about money
They say the USA was founded on freedom
But slavery built this country
Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln
Hamilton, Jackson, Grant
Were all slave-owners and even today
From Clinton to Bush
They running the same game on us
They so-called war on terror
Is just a ploy to get more cheddar
Dinero, the root of all evil
They come in bombing, shooting
Exploit the people and call it freedom
It's a cold game and it's the same from the
Top of the food chain
All the way down to the little
Homie in the street gangs
Slanging cocaine, it's how they do thangs
It's the American way
Imperialism, have it your way
Whatever it takes
Whoever gets fucked in the process
That's okay that's how they play
So you can't blame us
Them dead white men on that paper ain't us
We still gotta hustle for the benefit's, man
My grind is my stimulus plan

And my constituents are concerned about
Where the 700 billion dollars is going
They want to know
Because they get up every morning
They work hard
They give up their tax dollars
And they're trying to figure out
Where did the money go? Where's it going?
