Cody ChesnuTT - Under The Spell Of The Handout lyrics

rate me

Walkin' on a path of perdition

I see the smoke stacks in my periphery

Huffin' overtime spewing the residue

Of the workin' classes’ faith in democracy

Chuuuch house tilting on that banknote

Attracting folk with give me some money lawdy

A three piece snack is ridin on a three minute song

With the coarse hair sellin' out

While the sub woofer’s bumpin'

Hollin ’bout I’m hungry for freedom

But I don’t know how to eat that way

Because I’m under the spell of the handout

Because I’m under the spell of the handout!

I adore the gold and cash

I go for treason if that will increase my pay

Because I’m under the spell of the handout

Because I’m under the spell of the handout!

Give me my share please hand

25 years to life, the new degree, new occupation

Census can’t quantify the desperation ailing the hungry

And the beaten all across the dreamy USA

The ball is under the spell of the handout

Give me my share, oh Lord give me my share!

I heard the plea’s and cries

Give a voice, give me my mind back

Give me the floor, give me some room,

Nah man you got to take it!

(Take it, demand it)

I heard the plea’s and cries,

make me the choice, let me in the caste

Give my poor son and daughter a pass,

You got to take it, (uhuu)got to take it

Sometimes you got to ask yourself,

What am I feedin on?

what am I steppin in?

What am I givin' up now?

what am I depending on, what do I represent here

what am I thinking of NOW?

Under the spell of the handout

Under the spell of the handout

I adore the gold and cash

I go for treason if that will increase my pay

Because I’m under, I’m under the spell of the handout

Oh I’m hungry for a freedom if that will

Gimme gimme gimme and I'm gone
