letra de i heard it today - mr. lif

[verse one]
as the woe of the common man grows
i suppose
i should flow
think of all the things that we should know
the hood grows out to the burbs
too many words to describe how we’ve gotten what we didn’t deserve
the nerve of these leaders to cheat us
dangling the sweetest opportunities for home ownership
then flip
now it’s over
foreclosure
four soldiers died in iraq
stumbled in a trap
ain’t no bringing em back
i’m swinging the axe to chop off, whatever pops off
the nasdaq drop off
but people are not soft
we’re p-ssed off, f-cked over, overlooked
overbooked for unemployment
lost and ready to destroy sh-t
b- boy sh-t
that’s what i remain on
i stay strong
call me up, my name rain napalm
you’re funding a war
but you can’t fund us?
and you plan to turn the planet to dust?
i heard it today!

[verse two]
it started when the planes hit home
then it really hit homes
now we’re out in the street
with no shoes on our feet
so i turn to the beat
keep my mental physique
functioning at it’s peak
til you call me elite
then i repeat the steps
give some change to vets
they caught you with bullets
they caught us with debt
i step silent
in attempts to side step violence
tap into my brain so i can remain timeless
i’m just, out here trying to cope
try to eat a little food, try to buy a little smoke
choke a couple politicians
cause i’ve got a couple dollars missing
buy some lotion so my skin’ll glisten
missile hissin’
direct hit when you didn’t expect
all ordered by a president we didn’t elect
so i’m hoping that the dj will give this some play
so the people that’ll listen can say
we heard it today!

[verse three]
they were willing to give people with bad credit loans
cause they knew within a few years
we’re out of our homes
and they can buy up all the same properties they sold us
for the wealthy and maniacal the sh-t was a gold rush
they told us rates could fluctuate
but they didn’t say they could spike
now our credit is like
“how we gonna get another place?”
look at our face
distress at best
and yes
anger manifests
when our president
sees us drowning in the elements
he really doesn’t give a f-ck, so he acts with hesitance bush offered only one tenth of us paupers
relief
that may or may not decrease grief
he’d rather help the lenders
original offenders
that sent us off to get job number 3, humbly sacrificing education and health care
he’d rather just perpetuate the war cause there’s wealth in it
health benefited, heavily tinted windows of ceo’s rols (royce)
remain closed
so they never have to listen to those who oppose the path that they chose
to slow economic woes
they’ll prey upon our desperation
instead of seeking elevation
sh-t is catastrophic in my estimation
it happened during a republican reign
and some of y’all still went and voted mc cain?
i heard it today!
