[Intro]
Mic' check, 1-2
Yo, that's right, we the people
A combined, unified force
Able to conquer all, it's war
[Chorus]
We're out of limit now, enough is enough
You're sittin' on billions of dollars
But what about us?
One government, one world motto, "In God We Trust"
But what about us?
[Verse 1]
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 runnin' out, the truth is comin' out
Abusive clout, CEO's using large amounts
We could never dream of a leisure
It's like we're in a war without a heater
A broken-up casino starin' at the dealer
Light ya sinsemilla
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 slugs in my frame
Y'all tax payer slayers, turn the other cheek
The regulators, trust-betrayers
Reagan, Nixon, never 'trayed us
Poorly portray us, program us just to sway us
Farmers with favors, then use 'em just to dominate us
Oh now you pent on seven hundred billion just to save the children?
Ya'll motherfuckers bound to make a killin'
[Chorus]
We're out of limit now, enough is enough
You're sittin' on billions of dollars
But what about us?
No health-care, just enough change to ride the motherfucking bus
What about us?
Our biggest mistake was giving you trust
You live in plus, and you don't give a fuck about us
One government, one world motto, "In God We Trust"
But what about us?
[Verse 2]
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 they power in the price of petrol
And now they patrol and so the story goes
Death with 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 'em
We have the right to fire 'em, instead 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
[Chorus]
We're out of limit now, enough is enough
You're sittin' on billions of dollars
But what about us?
No health-care, just enough change to ride the motherfucking bus
What about us?
Our biggest mistake was giving you trust
You live in plus, and you don't give a fuck about us
One government, one world motto, "In God We Trust"
But what about us?
[Spoken]
Over and over again
The system that be tell us that
Your vote does not count if it does not have several million dollars behind it
In our state
That's right, in our state
[Outro]
Motherfuckin right, my pocket's lookin' kinda tight
And I'm stressed
Now-now what's left?
I-I-I got a madman holdin' my money-bag
Yo-yo
And I'm stressed
Now-now what's left?
