Bun B - If It Was Up II Me lyrics

rate me

I hear we livin in the last days it's revelation and

you best get right with God or else hell is waitin

the world is conin to an end

everyday it's a storm or a flood or tsunami this shit

aint the norm we got Katrina and Rita

minds keep collapsing wit tha fires and mud slides

I'm like what's happnin?

Got the kids in the school getting raped and molested

Underfunded under protected no wonder they tested

in the lowest damn percentage rate

and my city damn near the lowest in the state you can

equate that to the state funds that aint breakin down

right rich districts get more and poor ones get less

and that jus don't sound right

so im finna pound right on the doors of my city hall

and kick them hos down

they killin' my city yall we need to get my people

back to where they should be

and since nobody else gon do it it's gon have to be me

First of all the projects is fucked up and it ain't

jus with the drugs we got more problems than the dealers and thugs.

They usein lead base paint and asbestos is killin us

we tell them to fix it up but jus aint feelin us.

They'd rather kick us out and tear it down to the ground,

so they can put up a parking lot a mall or some condos.

Condemn the whole place cuz a few sell crack shit the

rest aint do nothing wrong

what the fucks up with that?

They say that one rotten apple can spoil the whole bunch

but we talkin bout some people not apples this aint

lunch. Make me wanna punch a politician dead in his face.

You say you represent my district, get yo ass on the case.

"Development is good for the hood,

" yea that's what you tellin us but bitch you on the

payroll of the builders and developers.

Fuck what you seellin us pipe dreams fa suckers,

you can take that round the corner to them other motherfuckers

So much youth they sacrifice just to live in paradise

play they tricks and tell they lies (I know)

it's said to see how they treat the poor have so much

and still want more I see my people every day on the floor

It's time to educate the people mayne free school and

college so everybody cross the board can get the same knowledge.

Education leads to jobs and jobs kill poverty and no

more poverty means we makein money obviously.

Everybody gettin money, everybody smilin.

Motherfucker's aint eatin them motherfuckersf wildin.

Matter fact speakin of eatin lets feed the homeless

in America let these other folks handle they own shit.

How imma clean your house and mine still dirty?

How imam feed yo kids while mine sit thirsty?

And speakin of the kids we need to spend more time

wit em. Can't turn them loose in the streets cuz they dyin in em.

And all this naked head sex man you trippin fuck love

im lovein life you aint gon catch ya boi slippin.

You say ya boi trippin im jus keepin it G,

cuz you can see how good the world would be if it was up to me
