A Dollar - Bambu

Well I don’t know, if I’m walking on solid ground

Cause everything around me is crumbling down

And all I want is for someone to help me

I need a dollar bill, a dollar bill is what I need

Gimmie that money

Gimmie that money

The Obama promise that change is coming late

California state unemployment rate got daddy running in place

The change that wouldn’t fill a homeless man’s cup up

Foreclosure on a home got Americans fucked up

So what to do now?

Tea Party screaming and the Bush Administration wipe their hands clean Leaving

that debt

And war budget’s on Barack’s black hands

George W. is laughing from his Texas land ranch

And smack dab in the center of it all is the fall

Of the gentrified homes of your mama and pa

Cause we done blew a whole wad on electing Barack

And now his feet up, complacent we just trusting 'em all

No question

So we gon' need a dollar and dream just to pay the school tuition

Car payments for the dean

Huh

Socialism hella scares y’all

But that’s the only way to balance all I’m trying to tell y’all

Make money, spend money, lose money

It’s fishy that big banks and presidents are chummy

Funny, that the term health insurance exists

Insuring cars, insuring health makes no sense

The basic needs of a people shouldn’t ask to have it

And it shouldn’t be determined by a man’s tax bracket

Life has no price but the dollars to white

If the dollars stack high, you gon' have a long life

But, let you be that sucker with minimum wage

You gon' die from a flu while they living with AIDS

Pay big bucks for a pill just to breath straight

Might as well cover your house in yellow police tape

It’s a crime scene, just to be a working class man

Complimented back hands, eating food out of a can

Immigrants land, hoping just for pieces of a pie

And turn to crime when they realize that dream is a lie

Because…
