[Talib Kweli - Tater Tot lyrics]
I'm just wondering what the heck
Is in our water supply
What the heck is in our oxygen supply
That creates a rainbow effect in sprinklers?
What is oozing out of our ground
That allows this type of effect to happen?
It's not just around our sun
And our moon any more
Everywhere we look, the visible spectrum
Is rainbows this cannot be natural
We as a nation have got to ask ourselves
What the hell is going on?
What is oozing out of our ground?
The day that I enlisted
Was the result of a prior visit with
Jesus Christ felt like I was lifted
Then I got injured and the
Hospital was like a prison
Fell out of touch with my
Faith I was nihilistic they call me Cyclops
Cause I was blind in one eye
I'm out the army now I'm tryin' to decide
How to properly fit in with
Civilians I'm used to killin'
Got me feelin' all confused
Who the hero and who the villain?
Hopped in my red Camaro
Shot down the street like lead in a barrel
Decked out in my veteran apparel
I drove aimlessly for miles until I saw this
Country that'd want me to kill I
Took a bullet for this muh'fucker
Thousand miles later finally made a stop
Small town restaurant
God damn the waitress hot
Ordered tater tots, got her number
Later that night we was at the bar
Takin' shots 'til we fell in love
I said let's go Las Vegas and do this
Knew this was the mate for my soul
Drove all night and was awakened to cold
She wanna play the slots
Nicknamed her Tater Tot
Cause of how we met, "cool I need a shower
Bet"
Found a motel on the strip, I'm checkin' in
When out the blue some Mexicans came in
The lobby like they 'bout to shoot
Some Asians that was runnin' down the
Hall with they guns brazen
Now e'rybody pullin out they shit
Like it's an invasion!
The Mexicans let them Asians have it
Asians had to fire back
'til they was outta bullets and
The blood splattered everywhere
Deal gone bad or somebody robbin'
Either way somebody's rotten all I
Hear is bodies droppin'
I jump behind the front desk
In the nick of time
The crook is on the floor
His blood made me slip and slide
But, I'm the last man standin'
A reflex made me grab a cannon
Out a dyin' man's hand
Then I noticed that a car was runnin'
Sack of guns on the floor plus
Unmarked bills by the hundreds
Driver comin' at me gunnin'
Sirens blarin' in the distance cause
The cops are comin'
I spun around and I hit the deck
Heard the bullets whiz by my ear I let off
Hit him in the chest
Quicker than the bullets left the chamber
I grabbed the sack off the floor
Hit the door with the bangers
Lookin' for my lady at the casino
She was in the zone
I said "We gotta go" she like
"Why?" and I'm like "C'MON!"
No need to gamble baby, here the lick
Put the chips down we gotta go right now
This little shit
Now we speedin' down the I15
First time I noticed that her eyes were green
Gave her a gun and a magazine
I made her count the loot count the loot baby
But when she saw the score she
Pointed the gun at me
Now she about to shoot blam, blam blam
Is in our water supply
What the heck is in our oxygen supply
That creates a rainbow effect in sprinklers?
What is oozing out of our ground
That allows this type of effect to happen?
It's not just around our sun
And our moon any more
Everywhere we look, the visible spectrum
Is rainbows this cannot be natural
We as a nation have got to ask ourselves
What the hell is going on?
