lyrics

We're out of limit now, enough is enough, you're sitting 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 running out, the truth is coming out;
Abusive clout, CEO's using large amounts
We could never dream of for leisure
It's like we're in a war without a heater
A broken-up casino staring at the dealer
Light ya sensimilla
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 of slugs in my frame
We're all tax payer slayers, turn the other cheek
The regulators, trust-betrayers
Reagan 'n Nixon never betrayed us
Poorly portray us, program us just to sway us
Farmers with favors, then use em just to dominate us
And now you're bent on 700 billion just to save the children?
Y'all motherfuckers bound to make a killin'!

We're out of limit now, enough is enough, you're sitting on billions of dollars
But what about us?
No health-care, just enough change to ride the motherfucking bus
But what about us?
Our biggest mistake was giving you trust, you live in plus
'n 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 the power in the price of petrol
And now they patrol and so the story goes
Definitely 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 them
We have the right to fire them, then say 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 sitting on billions of dollars
But what about us?
No health-care, just enough change to ride the motherfucking bus
But what about us?
Our biggest mistake was giving you trust, you live in plus
'n you don't give a fuck about us
One government, one world motto,
"In God we trust,"
But what about us?
