letra de bushonomics - dr. cornel west

[intro: talib kweli]
revolutions require partic-p-tion
but sometimes people be hesitating
the government must respect the will of the people
the government serve the people, the people don’t serve the government

[verse 1: talib kweli]
voter registration with no scope of education is a waste of time with no hope, it’s just frustration
it’s ain’t no choice when you’re picking the voice of a nation
you’re just contributing to the status quo’s preservation
plus we ain’t got no universal health care and who the h-ll care about crack mothers on welfare?
listening to dead prez, h-ll yeah, but jay z first
thinking of how we was sn-tched like old ladies’ purses
dropped on american soil for a greater purpose
plus i know my people got layers, you gotta break the surface
the way i rap got the man nervous
frodo failed, bush got the ring snitching like he’s got a sink
fixing elections like it’s not a thing
somebody please expose the fact that it’s going back to one party
they called president bill clinton a wh0r-monger
voted him out and replaced with a warmonger

[hook]
it’s like a jungle sometimes, i’m at the front of the line
i ain’t tripping, but i stumble sometimes
then i get right back up
then i get right back up

[verse 2: talib kweli]
liars and thieves best believe that their record is long
weapons of m-ss destruction the reason for catching saddam
lack of concern for the environment affected the storm
we can predict the levee breaking like a zeppelin song
the president warned, but before the levee broke
the people was, they already owned the oil there
so there ain’t nothing they need from us
caught up in the fog of war they let the big easy flood
you telling me that you would do what jesus does?
no, i don’t believe you would
the master teacher’s back here to speak with us with the p-ssion of a preacher
and the raps that make the speakers bust
the way i tackle the topic’ll have an agnostic acknowledge the last prophet
fulfil the promise of frederick dougl-ss acquainted with death
he step among us on the blocks and corners the people he taking steadily getting younger
you ain’t over or getting under
i’m getting older, i ain’t getting younger
i know there’s strength in numbers

[hook]

[dr. cornel west]
taking hiphop back to it’s roots
when people could see that the hip in hiphop stood for
we want to be free
we go from the bling bling to
let freedom ring
from the rich legacy to gil scott heron
and the last poet
on to grandmaster flash and
the furious five
in this era of bush-o-nomics!
