[Marlon Craft - Politickin' lyrics]
America the beautiful, home of state murder
Corruption and pharmacuticals
Hatred that’s institutional
Bullshit that i maneuver through
Take yo’ stagnant wages
And be a good consumer you
Choose the facts thats true to you
Elections are upon us, if only that implied
That reflection was upon us
Im sitting here worried
Bout who’s next up in this office
On one hand
We got ignorant negligent and pompous
But yet i still acknowledge
That on the the other side we
Got in debt to corporate sponsors
Say she’ll take down big banks while
They lay blessins in her pockets
I’m questionin it all shit
Ain't saying that it's equal
But the lesser of two evils ain’t
Impressin me at all it's a pivotal moment
Our struggles the same but
Our differences showing
Some us still live in the past and
Some of us live to disown it
Some be denying it's power
Consciences hide and just cower
Wishing they could go back to a
Time when blacks lives didn’t matter
And it was written in law
Times just shifted that’s all
All we did was modernize
Racism lynchin’s and all
Prisons and bars education systems
Thats missin the par
Trump rally klan rally more shared
Trait's than differences dog
It’s that routine divide and conquer
Cuz when you hate your enemy
The wealthy always prosper
I swear it's like half of the country
Is gone off of a qualude
Banks put millions out their homes but
You mad at a gay dude
My sis college loans cost pops 7 percent
While banks whos greed left people
Jobless on sheckles and cents got it for 07
And we don’t see no trickle down
And capitol hill wonder why we
Think their words fickle now
Supposed to be a government run
By checks and balances
But they seem more concerned with checks
And what their balance is
I wonder how they turn it
Up at a congress party
Do they be like we in the building!
Cuz they damn sure getting lobbied
Its capitalism
See you work for who’s paying you
So do your homework
Find out who’s funding that campaign that you
Supporting, know the truth then hit the
Booth and lay that vote down
I know it feel like bullshit
But they banking that you won’t now
Can’t give control to the reality
Star with a thick head
People say he got balls but all
I see is a dickhead
We can’t condone the hate we can’t
Let our brothers and sisters down
Start with local elections then take
The whole system down
I ain’t preachin’ but i just had to
Sit through a lot of speeches
Sift through a lot of feces seeking
Truth in a hopeless place
Shit I’m just tired of the
Lying in this bitch
Since we couldn’t feel the bern lets
Start a fire in this bitch
This election will be rough lets find
A diamond in this shit
And after gettin' rid of trump form
An alliance that don’t quit
For love peace and equality
Socially economically
Might think you left or right
But LOVE is one ideology
And if you ain’t with spreading that
You getting left in the dust
Your breed is dying leave y’all
In an incestuous dump the youth is alive
We looking forward with most prudent of eyes
Willing to dedicate our lives so
That truth can survive
Corruption and pharmacuticals
Hatred that’s institutional
Bullshit that i maneuver through
Take yo’ stagnant wages
And be a good consumer you
Choose the facts thats true to you
Elections are upon us, if only that implied
That reflection was upon us
