Now this story began in 10000 bc
they domesticated cattle
and cultivated seeds
they were called the mandes
and they made alotta things
like pottery and cotton
so thank em for your jeans
and as time went on
they began to move around
some settled out in Egpyt
and came up from the ground
they had copper they had gold
they had pharoahs
getting down
but they money that they made
came from slaves downtown
then the slaves got mad
and starting fighting back
and the same thing happened
and repeated after that
in every known city
and country in the land
its like they never learn til
the people take a stand
Dont nobody get promoted
unless u related
or you grew up with the boss
or he's someone that u dated
They make you take abuse
til your stress levels rise
there's greed in their hearts
you can see it in their eyes
aint no unions aint no pensions
just 40 years of your life
and you're lucky if you get a weekend
to spend with your wife
and we get the same money
that they paid in '93
even tho the rent tripled
we can barely even eat
and theres college
o yeah you can go get a you degree
with some high interest loans
you'll be up to 20 G's
then they'll be callin yo job
and tryna garnish your checks
have you working like a dog
to pay off all of your debts
