Mr. Lif - What About Us? lyrics
[Mr. Lif - What About Us? lyrics]
Mic' check, 1-2
Yo, that's right, we the people
A combined, unified force
Able to conquer all, it's war
We're out of limit now, enough is enough
You're sittin' on billions of dollars
But what about us?
One government, one world motto
"In God We Trust" but what about us?
I write my rap quotes on bank notes
And bank statements that don't make sense
Around the time it's time for me to pay rent
My patience is runnin' out
The truth is comin' out
Abusive clout, CEO's using large amounts
We could never dream of a leisure
It's like we're in a war without a heater
A broken-up casino starin' at the dealer
Light ya sinsemilla
They rush to lock you up for
Puffin' on the stress reliever
And Obama wouldn't stop 'em neither
Whooped McCain, let me explain
I got lost playing your game
They pumped a couple slugs in my frame
Y'all tax payer slayers, turn the other cheek
The regulators, trust-betrayers
Reagan, Nixon, never 'trayed us
Poorly portray us, program us just to sway us
Farmers with favors
Then use 'em just to dominate us
Oh, now you pent on seven hundred
Billion just to save the children?
Ya'll motherfuckers bound to make a killin'
We're out of limit now, enough is enough
You're sittin' on billions of dollars
But what about us? No health-care
Just enough change to ride
The motherfucking bus what about us?
Our biggest mistake was giving you trust
You live in plus
And you don't give a fuck about us
One government, one world motto
"In God We Trust" but what about us?
Is this in our best interest to
Infest the world with stress?
Just so you can trespass
I guess you answer yes
As we linger at the precipice
Just to hear from dying hear the crying?
That old couple with the hopes of retiring
About to pop you with the iron
Trying hard not to let go
The goals he set from the get-go
Lost they power in the price of petrol
And now they patrol and so the story goes
Death with no memorials
Tutorials on this don't exist
Income taxes just a myth to
Make the bankers richer
So they can sell you half the picture
Then seize ya assets quicker than
You can go acquire 'em
We have the right to fire 'em
Instead we're co-conspiring through silence
Through science that's social and economic
You manufacture our consent to make a profit
The paper's been powerless since they
Left the gold standard
They're using currency to rule
The whole planet
We're out of limit now, enough is enough
You're sittin' on billions of dollars
But what about us? No health-care
Just enough change to ride
The motherfucking bus what about us?
Our biggest mistake was giving you trust
You live in plus
And you don't give a fuck about us
One government, one world motto
"In God We Trust" but what about us?
Over and over again
The system that be tell us that
Your vote does not count if it does
Not have several million dollars behind it
In our state that's right, in our state
Motherfuckin right
My pocket's lookin' kinda tight
And I'm stressed now now what's left?
III got a madman holdin' my money bag yo yo
And I'm stressed now now what's left?
Yo, that's right, we the people
A combined, unified force
Able to conquer all, it's war
We're out of limit now, enough is enough
You're sittin' on billions of dollars
But what about us?
One government, one world motto
"In God We Trust" but what about us?
