It's funny right? They say things done change
No more messages in the music, record sales down, gas prices up No more love in your love, no more love for your love Change is long overdue, Mary, something's gotta give, Big Boi You can trot around the planet or watch it on the news Sombody's getting shot, the weather man's looking confused He's reporting to a nation full of zombies strung out on starbucks And stitched up and bitching Abercrombie Uh, don't get it mixed up me too I have insomnia at times but don't be walkin' 'round here blind Nigga feelin' all around, trying to find a righteous path It's appealin' when I rhyme So everytime I hit the masses, you know the common folk Blue collared day to day workers That squeeze a dollar so they baby can swallow A little not a lota just enough to fill that bottle But it's a million dollars a gallon for some gas to get to work Tomorrow that's if you gotta get it, you can't swim in carpool You Rob Peter to pay Paul to make due Make you wanna write a note and take a pistol to that bank too And pass it to the teller but you know better They trying to tell us to stay strong But every day we losing jobs From College Park out to Beverly Hills Somethin's gonna have to give Across the world they live in fear But it's the same thing over here If you can hear me on Capitol Hill Somethin's gonna have to give The great debators debate about who's the greatest MC Subject matter don't matter because the verse is empty No food for thought nothing for the brain to digest So I guess it'd be about who can bullshit the best But I give them light on like the traffic I direct Inspiring their life like they was actors on my set As if I was a pilot, take'em higher then a jet I'd be a liar if I wasn't sick and tired of this mess They trying to tell us to stay strong Nut every day we losing jobs (Everyday, everyday) From College Park out to Beverly Hills Somethin's gonna have to give (Give it up y'all) Across the world they live in fear But it's the same thing over here (Over here, yeah) If you can hear me on Capitol Hill Somethin's gonna have to give (Oh, yeah) Single mother in a struggle and it's no fun But you don't really understand until you are one A child is sick and is losing he's endurance She want to fix him but she 'aint got no insurance Now we don't even want to talk about the man's life Out on parol with the promise that he'll do right But a felon has no chance for a new start So it's back to doing hand in hand on his own block And blacks and whites we're all the same and I know you feel my pain And the only hope I have to help me deal with the drama Is that maybe in November I'll be cheering for Obama They trying to tell us to stay strong (Yeah) But everyday we losing jobs (Every day) From College Park out to Beverly Hills (Ooh) Somethin's gonna have to give (Give it up, give it up) Across the world they live in fear But it's the same thing over here (Over here) If you can hear me on Capitol Hill (Listen to me now) Something's gonna have to give (Give it up y'all) The world is too big Free your mind or be stuck like porcupine left behind That's the bottom line gotta find the grind 'Cause the time won't be coming back around, get it now nigga The world is too big Step on the stars while you're reaching for the sun But never burn a bridge, each one, teach one If you lend a helping hand, you may never be one The world is too big And I heard him say that every man, woman And child was gonna be okay I heard him say that they would bring Our soldiers home in one piece today The world is too big but it's not that way They've been selling us a dream telling us We on the same team Now we all gotta deal with the lies They trying to tell us to stay strong (Yeah) But everyday we losing jobs (Every day) From College Park out to Beverly Hills Somethin's gonna have to give (Have to give) Across the world they live in fear (Oh yeah) But it's the same thing over here (Over here) If you can hear me on Capitol Hill (I know you hear me) Somethin's gonna have to give (Yeah) |
