Second World Cab Ride

[Intro: Greydon and (Cab Driver)] Hola my friend (como estamos ojala que bien) How are you doing (Aqui echandole duro de donde eres) Me? (Sí.) Well - [Verse: Greydon and (Cab Driver)] I’m from the capital of first world problems Issues? we’re convinced the third world caused them Our banks too big to fail like it’s awesome The hard crooks walk while we jail all the soft ones Nerd blasting rap Like Saddam’s ‘88 nerve gas attack that we supported I’ve heard em laugh at that While our top brass gathers all the data and facts to be distorted (como Gortari) ...present it to the citizens in images Position themselves to take advantage of their timidness (Pinches politicos) ...now that you mention it It’s kinda like how Dwight D. Eisenhower envisioned it Listen here, i’d tell you to avoid it But you might have to deal with them while looking for employment Pharmaceutical companies cookin up the poisons Suppress it cuz you look like you enjoy it (Veneno) And we expect privacy from agencies who despise us Who know as long as they keep us comfortable we won't rise up The right bluff, will have them promise changes Making enemies, the same ones Obama angered (Pero aqui esta el dinero) ...it’s kind of funny that you say that It’s obvious they’ve been controlling the money since way back Kind of like in your country The money funnels through a couple of monkeys While the people are up shit’s creek wondering How their leaders live with such a disconnect The poorest are humiliated just to get respect Complete with neglect Fuck you if you sleep on the steps Even the best Won’t trust you until they see the check (Oficiales corrupts) Which i guess is in the mail As a down payment on bail to get you out of jail For the weed charge While others file bankruptcy in the ER In a country full of deep scars Dream shards, weak stars and cheap cars That had the nerve to spend over a trillion on each war (pero no nos intimidan ) ...But we’re a threat to them So much so, you could get detention that never ends I often ask if were we ever in Or if it was something they just told the gullible as they petted them On the head (Aqui) Yup, a left up ahead It’s like more is implied the less something’s said (Es lo mismo) I appreciate the conversation (No Es nada yo tanbien) Yea, but neither of us had an obligation ...I know i’m not as famous But thanks your time and the ride And I hope we never bomb your nation
