As Trew As It Gets

Dear Mr. President

I write to you because the world that we livin' in

Bring the troops home from war that we'll never win

Surviving poverty, my six-time residence

Bad economy, there's no gas money to even look for a job And my people workin' ten plus years, gettin' laid off

So how we supposed to be?

People losin' their homes

Gettin' thrown out to the streets

Foreclosures and bankruptcies, it's all that we see

Flu virus is killin' people and spreadin' disease

Sick Jacken in the past, the gas man's for the world to breathe Bush left a lot of dirt to clean up in the house

And we never understood what he was talkin' about

Now it's time for some change, cause all we have is hope

I stand united with my people, strong and tall

Divide and we are unequal, that's what we for

Now come on

The government got all the people by the balls

But when they lose the people, that's when the government falls Revolt by the coming folk, bringin' down the walls

All we want from is us rightfully ours

Citizens with guns that rise for the cause

Put our hope in arms, leave the rest to the cause

Cause it is what it is and not what it was

Children of the revolution

Okay, now that you realize Obama don't run shit

Get your guns ready and pack more than one clip

Put it in the stash box, go back to your drug flip

Get back to your daily routine, homies don't trip I thought this was a media hoax But when drug dealers and strippers are broke

Recession is no joke, we like prostitutes and Bob Marley

But when the job hardly pays money

It sways and hustlers to play Polly Mergers, more burners, the gap for slow learners Tet Turner monopolies overbred earners

Where the fuck did the money go?

You'd realize we never had it if you knew what the country owed We got sold, better yet stole like gold

From old Mexico that they got without a wall

And now we owe them?

Let that bill collector come to my block

See what we show them, blah

The government got all the people by the balls
