In The Red (Politrix)

We know talk is cheap and closed mouths don't get fed

But we starving down here, can you spare some bread?

We stay in the red 'cause the price of living high

Rich folk tilt they nose up when we walk by

We know talk is cheap and closed mouths don't get fed

But we starving down here, can you spare some bread?

We stay in the red 'cause the price of living high

Rich folk tilt they nose up when we walk by

If everything was free

The world would be a better place for you and me, don't you agree?

No more poverty, every homeless soul would have something to eat

Every man would have his own fig tree

We could leave the screen door wide open when we counting sheep

If everything was free, wouldn't be no bank robberies

The crime life would stop, America would be at peace

No more police brutality, we don't need 911

It's all love now, I can throw away my gun-gun

Huh, finally having some fun

Finally finding understanding that I'm a son

Of the most high, regardless of the names you chose to call me by

Call me optimistic, or call it wishful thinking

But our nation still a boat straight sinking

If everything was free, wouldn't be no stress

Less drinking, less smoking, no prostitution

More focusing on education, building schools for inner city youths

That don't have the opportunity that Sally and little Tommy do

That's the first thing on my list if I'm elected president

We put our trust in animals to govern our residence

Why should I vote for donkeys and elephants?

That bark they gums during election time

With nothing but lies and deceit on they minds

I'm just saying, read between the lines

We know talk is cheap and closed mouths don't get fed

But we starving down here, can you spare some bread?

We stay in the red 'cause the price of living high

Rich folk tilt they nose up when we walk by

We know talk is cheap and closed mouths don't get fed

But we starving down here, can you spare some bread?

We stay in the red 'cause the price of living high

Rich folk tilt they nose up when we walk by

Yeah, we do it right, we do it tight

Pick our head up, we march it upright, alright

This ain't no act, nothing but facts

Now get that monkey off your back

No matter if you're black, white

This ain't no game, fuck what you think

We take this here shit to the bank

And feed our little kings and queens and teach 'em thangs

Like Malcolm taught us how to act

Just might use your four front, boy, if you talk back

Rat-a-tat, watch how you chat

Rat-a-tat-tat, life is too short to be acting like didat

Don't forget that, pass me my purple fitted

Willie Is, Willie Was, and where you trying to get at?

But where you need to be is up on these strategics

All this drama be dropping, brainwashing on the television

Kids watching, no supervision, uh-uh, not mine

These the last times, boy, y'all best to read the signs, boy

We know talk is cheap and closed mouths don't get fed

But we starving down here, can you spare some bread?

We stay in the red 'cause the price of living high

Rich folk tilt they nose up when we walk by

We know talk is cheap and closed mouths don't get fed

But we starving down here, can you spare some bread?

We stay in the red 'cause the price of living high

Rich folk tilt they nose up when we walk by

How bout it?

Y'all know Willie Is

This who we is, cuh-cuh

That boy Kujo good and that boy Durell coming through

Talking about real life things, you know what I'm speaking on?

Kujo already told y'all, use that tool between your two shoulders

That ain't nothing but infinite advice

Now take heed to that disc right here

We like butter on burnt bagels, baby

'Bout to smooth this thing on out

Now hold on to that
