American Greed

Hook [Deacon] They Don't know They don't see Everybody in this bitch is strugglin' like a mothafucka They don't know They don't see Everybody in this bitch is strugglin' Can you hear me? All we do is hit the streets and hustle All we do is try to cover our needs Everyday is wearing down on our muscles Tryna satisfy American greed First Verse [Natti] Man, all of your hours, minutes, seconds spent On rubber-neckin' round a person workin, stressin, when is your turn? That's how a grimm expression bent above yo chin I'm guessin comes from sweatin' mine instead of worrying about yern Spread out that couch invention from sittin in one Position Straiten up yo kitchen quick as Malcolm Little's perm Now let it burn, cause that's the pain that you earn Fuckin' off doing nothing constructive thinkin short term Train for the long run, regardless of outcome Yo train of thought is off track cause you off the wrong one Quit hitchin' rides and try buying yo own sled You makin moves, but the problems they in yo own bed Hook Second Verse [Sheisty] I know niggas with gold chains and gold watches Who buy food from the Golden Arches loaded with starches These same niggas selling cocain in old apartments Id rather go to marches, load the cartridge, blow the charges I might spark the revolution though and go to marshes And build bows and arrows on barges only known to archers To yall the revolutions probably when you go to Marshall's Might seem like I'm going harsh but I'm so impartial Yeah I know it seem like I'm throwing darts That could blow apart the lower part of Noah's Ark At the police department in the dark with no remarks Snitches get stitches bitches and so do narcs So while y'all go to loan sharks I study Joan of Arc And the culmination of the Yeoman, bards, and Roman arts Statues, cathedrals So if I'm coming at you bless you, achoo, the measles Attack you, bleed you, smack you, leave you Baptized in hellfire Matthew - read you The truth is we don't need you if American greed feeds you This is a cesarean to de-seed you and re-breed you Abbreviated Hook
