The Next - This American Life lyrics
rate meFeat. Immortal Technique & Talib Kweli
It’s getting hot, we baking under the upper crust
The apple pie that they are making is not enough for us
Fix skin from hedgefunds to husslas, my president is black but still is getting tougher cause
Big man size checks with no amounts
While the little man is stashing his shit with no accounts
Left overs for dinner, he lives hand to mouth
He saving for the bills, not thinking bout eating out
And looking at his wife, feeling with creep and doubt,
She sees it in his eyes, now he’s sleeping on the couch
On every day … currents, across the 50
States, filling up with hate, people walk with me
While we all pissed, it’s a privilege, isn’t it?
Prosperity and America should be synonyms
A wealthy nation keeping poor people living in the illest situations
Salute to the citizen
I hussle all day, working at night
Just to try to pay the bills and keep on the lights
You struggle to feed the kids and the wife
Living this American life
They fooled us once, they robbed us twice
Now they sit back making the people pay the price
Taxing the checks, with venomous bites
We living this American life, right
Separate the fact from the mystery
Stacking up the bodies, build the statue of liberty
Opposition is kill your propositions, propaganda
Jobs is going to China, thats as popular as …
American idiot is more than a play on Broadway
Or a Greenday record,
Graduation is foreplay, cause it happens right before you get fucked
You stuck all day, and no job
Watching judge mathis, ellen, and maur-ay waiting for the holidays
Looking for a vacation, in Brooklyn the destination is stay pay
Following … investigation, cause of lack of education
I call myself a native but I have my reservation
Shop and escape… we addicted to the retail
As ignorant this race as in the … email
You probably like to fuck horses instead of females
God is in my heart, but the devil is in the details
I hussle all day, working at night
Just to try to pay the bills and keep on the lights
You struggle to feed the kids and the wife
Living this American life
They fooled us once, they robbed us twice
Now they sit back making the people pay the price
Taxing the checks, with venomous bites
We living this American life, right
Millionaire rappers rhyming about welfare
Fake rich rappers that don’t even have healthcare
I put you on the suns surface and watch you melt there
for MUMIA, THE CUBAN FIVE and LEONARD PELTIER a whole lot of others that you don’t care about
That exemplify America’s spiritual where abouts
They prepare the route, on slave ship to Oblivion
But dressed it up like a cruise to Caribbean
What makes time … on the …
A cold blooded world designed by reptilians
Not snake button, empires of civilians
With modern day human sacrifice by the millions
Shots to the pride of American individuals
You the fool for thinking that a republic’s original
But you don’t here me how it’s gonna end one day, too
Busy watching gladiator sports on Sundays
I hussle all day, working at night
Just to try to pay the bills and keep on the lights
You struggle to feed the kids and the wife
Living this American life
They fooled us once, they robbed us twice
Now they sit back making the people pay the price
Taxing the checks, with venomous bites
We living this American life, right.
