You should google the emero,
then the afro, then the euro.
Anything for that green.
It's a scam. It's a scheme.
What people do for money
We have had bailouts
by some of the wealthiest
banks in the world
But yet we can't even
help our own citizens
So we're having foreclosure crises
The bailout on the house floor
Warning that it could destroy the dollar
and the global economy
Working families are
suffering
Unemployment is over
10 % in my own district
We have over 2 ,300 people
who have lost their homes
to foreclosure
Retirement and pension
funds are losing value
Local government can't make decisions.
Four or five dollar bills,
certain parts of the bill
You can get your blood
spilled on the concrete
Little 17 year old nigga
doing foul in the hood
On the prowl out in these streets
I done been in the same situations
Heartbeat racing,
you come up or you don't eat
I done had to sleep in the train station
Going stop to stop with no place to be
Paper chasing, filling out applications
For weeks just trying to get up on my feet
But they ain't hiring so a nigga was
forced to resort to the street
Just to make ends meet,
it's called survival
The struggle continues,
if it offends you, let me remind you
We all have instinct to do
what we have to do
To make it through,
and this drive is primal
Whether you at Mickey D's taking an order
Or coming from Florida,
transporting a quarter
Or on the corner, we all got needs
I gotta feed my son,
he gotta feed his daughter
Now I ain't no capitalist exploiter
But I know the rules of supply
and demand
Whoever control the product,
control our supply
Well hey, that's the law of the land
Make your own stimulus plan
We so true, on my life
Anything for that green
We so true, on my life
It's a scam, it's a scheme
We so true, on my life
Anything for that green
We so true, on my life
People lie, people cheat, people steal,
people will do anything for that green
It's a scam, it's a scheme,
you should google, read your marrow
Then the afro, then the euro,
dollar bills don't make you loyal
It can kill you, it can kill you,
love of money, root of evil
I say lack of it,
that's more accurate,
army, navy, special forces
Rob the land of its resources,
gold, oil, guns, ice, gas, corn, beans
It's your life, you better think twice
How bad you want that name to price
White people shoot for money
Anything for that green
White people shoot for money
It's a scam, it's a scheme
White people shoot for money
Anything for that green
One, two, four, two, four, one,
yeah, one, yeah
Don't ever think slavery
was just about race,
slavery was about money
They say the USA was
founded on freedom,
but slavery built this country
Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Hamilton,
Jackson, Grant, all slave owners
And even today from Clinton to Bush,
they running the same game on us
They so -called war on terror,
just a ploy to get more cheddar
The root of all evil, they come in,
bomb and shoot
and exploit the people and call it freedom
It's a cold game and it's the same
from the top of the food chain
All the way down to the little homie
in the street gang slinging cocaine,
that's how they do things
It's the American way, imperialism,
have it your way, whatever it takes
Whoever get fucked in the process,
that's okay, that's how they play
So you can't blame us,
them dead white men on
that paper ain't us
We still got to hustle for the benefits,
man, my grind is my stimulus plan
Fight me for truth or my life
Anything for that green
Fight me for truth or my life
It's a scam, it's a scam
Fight me for truth or my life
Anything for that green
Fight me for truth or my life
It's a scam, it's a scheme
And my constituents are concerned
about where the 700 billion
dollars is going
They want to know
Because they get up every morning,
they work hard,
they give up their tax dollars
And they're trying to figure out
where did the money go,
where's it going
And anything for that green
1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 4
Monday, Monday
