Crooked I - Been So Long lyrics

[Intro: Crooked I] It's been so long since hip-hop spoke to the problems of the world Something's going on It's like a conspiracy to stop us [Verse 1: Crooked I] Nobody knows what goes on inside of me So this time I'm rhymin' out of my diary See I ain't scared of society or Bill O'Reilly Get tyranny could never silence or even quiet me I'm watching every step you make, every breath you take I'm thinking F you snakes I'm focused on the future, I wonder ‘bout my nephew's fate Probably worse than FEMA's Katrina rescue rate And I ain't talking Crip or Blood when I say red-blue state I mean Democrats and Repub's, best educate Yourself, ‘cause the drama's real And Fox News Corporation want Obama k**ed, keep it trill Barack getting hated on by right-wing extremists You're hating on yourself ‘cause he's half white you genius You're damn right, and Glenn Beck you redneck a**wipe You're presently a dick and in your past life a penis I mean it [Hook: Sally Anthony] And I know that something is going on ‘Cause we haven't spoken for so long It's been so long [Verse 2: Crooked I] Dear Mister President, it's time to cut your charm off Reachin' across the aisle to those who will cut your arm off The topic of public options set the alarm off Look at the town halls, that was they downfall They was supposed to be discussin' health insurance, but they wasn't They was cussin', “Hang that n***a by his brown balls” I heard 'em screamin' and I believe in freedom of speech But I also believe in treason, so what's the reason? The people in Texas are stressin' succession? Answer that question The answer is complexion, it ain't perplexin' They never wanted to see a black man move America the right direction Stop the war and fight recession I represent for my citizens who don't have a chance Can't afford a dental plan or a ride in an ambulance For my soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan Hope you don't get tortured by the Taliban ‘Cause we waterbordin' it's so important, man [Hook] [Outro: Sally Anthony & (Crooked I)] Can I ask you somethin'? Have you changed or are you the same? (Let me know)
