Trife Diesel - World Today lyrics

My fellow citizen, we are in
The midst of crisis, is now well understood
Our nation is at war, against
A far reaching network
Of violence and hatred
Our economy is badly weakened
By consequence of greed and
Irresponsibility of some

Aiyo, the world is in a crisis
Bad credit and high oil prices
In a world against terror
They telling me I'mma fight rich
I play the nightshift
Gun in my hand wit a tight grip
On some hype shit
There's no telling just who I might hit
It's foul, nowadays, kids wilidng
A violent rage i keep the lights on in
The crib, cuz at night, my child's afraid
Hypocritical, pitiful, political views
Giving us clues on the news
But we still are confused
George Bush is the biggest fool
He was ducking from shoes
Better watch what you eat
They putting shit in our food
FDA approved medicines
Killing off us Americans
Homes in foreclosures
We being kicked out of residence
It's time to represent, for our next to kin
Before our next to kin go
Back to slaving in Lexington
They Hyde like Jeckyl and
Laughing and heckling
That's why I blame politicans for
All this mess we in

Today I say to you that the
Challenges we face our real
Homes have been lost, jobs shed
Businesses shattered
Our healthcare is too costly
Our schools fail too many
And each day brings further evidence that
The ways we use energy
Strengthened our advisaries
And threatened our planet

We getting laid off
While Bernie Madoff is getting paid off
And government officials is ripping
The state off people with A1 credit can't
Afford steak sauce
Fear hikes, military airstrikes
Letting they K's off
How can I take a day off when poverty is low
Two car notes
Life insurance and policies I owe
Economy is slow
Unemployment rates sky rocketing
Politicians bidding for positions
Out in Washington money pocketing
In they pant suit's and moccasins
And who's to blame for nearly
Destroying the stock market
And another black male shot again
Police open fire blew him in his back
And they left him gasping for oxygen
Medicare is never there, I bled in the chair
When Barack got elected
I cried and shed a tear
'08 was a hella year
Young people better beware
Watch the crime in '09
Cuz I smell it all in the air

The state of our economy calls for action
Bold and swift
And we will act, not only to create new jobs
But to lay a new foundation for growth
On this day, we come to proclaim an end
To the petty grievances and false promises
The recriminations and warn out dogmas
That for far too long
Have strangled our politics

I'm the brave one like Erica Bane
America's name is being tarnished
While honest people is living in carnage
We spend our money on garments
Instead of education
We once was the richest nation
Now look at our situation
The auto industry begging for a bailout
But who the hell is gonna bail out
My brothers outta the jail house
The value of a dollar, nada
White collar criminals
Embezzling tax money from major scholars
Courts litegating, we sit and wait
Through all the drama
People still choose to hate over race
Look at Obama
The first Black ruler of the free world
We in a recession
Dear God, please, bless him
Him and his three girls
It's time for a change
Look the reign has come
November 4th, we made history
McCain was done
Think twice before you pull out
And name your guns
Let's come together as a whole
And remain as one

You know
The challenges that tomorrow will bring
Our the greatest of our lifetime
A new energy to harness
New jobs to be created
New schools to build, the preps to meet
Alliances to repair
The road ahead will be long
The climb will be steep
We may not get there in one year
Or even in one term
I have never been more hopeful
Than I am tonight
That we will get there, I promise you
We as a people will get there
