American Greed

(Verse 1) I never wanted to be famous, I just wanted a little luxury A little comfort, a cup of something, some company Fill the room up with a couple people that fuck with me I call them family. Nah no cameras please This country's more than a compromise Tell you all kinds of lies on dot coms Fill you up with fear then pills then doctor bills Send you back to your job for that tax money they rob Economy built on the backs of the Blacks that were killed But it ain't about race, it's about those paper dollar bills Fives, tens, twenties, fifties and bucks. Fill 'em up Raise the gas price so you've got some trouble just filling up The race card is a side effect of the greed So fuck Black or White, problems come from the green The problems come from taking more than they need Shit, I need a minute to breathe (Hook) American greed Pledge allegiance to The Powers That Be Dead Presidents on American green Sell me a lie, an American Dream (Verse 2) There's a war going on; not overseas I'm talking overseers in offices and officers on these streets And then the bullshit they pump on TV Is how you can't trust the street you grew up on at least And then they flash diamonds and then they preach The importance of credit reports and purchase receipts And then they raise a flag and say that they have The blessing of God, tell you repent and then repeat It's bullshit, really all bullshit Basic differences lead to divisions, which Multiplied by greed, add up to dividends Keep the poor people dumb so they can get it in Fear Muslims, hire less blacks Pay women less, clown people that choose the same sex Can't even fix a fucking bridge or the pavement Send your kid to decent schools? Gotta send payments Listen up: know better, smarten up Do better, smart is not smart enough Stop wasting your money dummy Money, power, respect they can take nothing from me Break bread (Hook)
