[Intro: Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur, Feb. 2009]
Don't leave your home. Because you know what - when those companies say they have your mortgage, unless you have a lawyer that can put his finger or her finger on that mortgage, you don't have that mortgage. And you're gonna find they can't find the paper up there on Wall Street. So I say to the American people: you be squatters in your own home! Don't you leave! In Ohio, and Michigan, and Indiana, and Illinois, and all these other places where people are being treated like cattle! And this Congress is stymied!
[Verse 1: Bambu]
Blllaah
Unemployment up, some morale down
We screaming "f** school"
Let's put some rounds down
Now bullets is flying through the gla** of your local food chain
Register open, grab it and go and get something for you and the set you claim
And gain a stripe, k** 'em all if you got to, these are hard days
Profits over people, f** the people, the American way
When kids see presidents backing wars based on a**umption
Bailing out these banks while Mom and Dad is making nothing
And that same bank, calling, putting sale signs on your lawn
And the sheriff come to tell you "you and your family getting gone"
So, what's expected when you bang you just reflecting the umbrella that you live in
Prison or the mortician
Military's an option
Join that war in the desert
Come home into your neighborhood the same as when you left it
So nah, don't do it, please don't do it
I know sh** is bad holmes, we all been through it
They play with our money, so f** it we gon' take it
Josh the Goon, cover the door, get on the floor, open the safe and we go [gun shot]
Like when a can of pepper spray explode
Cause they [?] sh** this way and I'm blllat at that pig holme[s]
Sticks and stones, missiles and drones
Nuke bombs get us back to all the sticks and the stones
[Hook: Bambu]
Blllaah hahahahahaha x4
They got Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan next
Murder, murder, murder 'til there ain't none left
[both bars x4]
[Detective Schrank, West Side Story]
Aww yeah sure, I know
It's a free country and I ain't got the right
But I got a badge
What do you got?
[Verse 2: Bambu]
Bam blllaah
And Josh the Goon, good afternoon
I see my youth stuck in the system, 40 children in a room
And most rooms about 50 by 50 so if you think about it
Jail cells is 8 by 10, now who's overcrowded?
Don't get me wrong, I still know that these laws are flawed
And the root of most these laws is to keep us away from y'all
And really, it's just to keep us poor people in that prison
Recession, and all of these banks still make a k**in'
There ain't a thought in your brain
That maybe something's kind of off about the way you being played, yeah
Get paid but simple living is the motto
So my mama take a little bit of money to play the lotto
While rap is just another commodity they can bottle
And sling it to make a profit but the product's f**ing awful
My homie Jack know what I'm talkin' 'bout
If big money is in the house, I'm walking out
Cause big money kept many dead bodies
Exploit the work of murder murder murder, it's a party
Rest in power Troy Davis
See y'all at the rally for the next brother to face it
[Outro: Bambu]
And blllaah
Hahahahahaha x2
Josh the Goon, Bam blllaah
Ese all day
Los Angeles, wat up?
Blllaah
[Keith Olbermann, clips from The Countdown, Dec. 12, 2013]
Despite the best efforts of the Bush Administration, the courts upheld the rights of habeas corpus for American citizens - even for those accused of being terrorists
In our number one story, the National Defense Authorization Act once again seeks to revoke this right. And even though it is now an Obama administration, it seems likely that the bill will be signed
Two weeks ago, we told you about the National Defense Authorization Act and the provisions that allowed for an indefinite detention of an American citizen without charges or trial, a bill the president threatened to veto at that time
...it does all but destroy habeas corpus as the provisions for indefinite detention of American citizens still exists
The military can still indefinitely detain someone... And it is civilian force, like the FBI, which has the authority to investigate and interrogate suspects being indefinitely detained. Both stipulations said to have been added at the request of the president
