Dr. Cornel West - Bushonomics lyrics

Revolutions require participation But sometimes people be hesitating The government must respect the will of the people The government serve the people The people don't serve the government Voter registration with no scope of education It's a waste of time with no hope It's just frustration It's not a choice when you're picking the voice of a nation You're just contributing to the status quo's preservation Plus we ain't got no universal health care And who the hell care about crack mothers on welfare? Listening to dead prez, hell yeah But jay-z first Thinking of how we was snatched Like old ladies' purses Dropped on american soil For a greater purpose Plus I know my people got layers You gotta break the surface The way I rap got the man nervous Frodo failed bush Got the ring snitching like he's got a sink (?) Fixing elections like it's not a thing Somebody Please expose the fact That it's going back To one party They called president bill clinton a who*emonger Voted him out Replaced with a warmonger Hook It's like a jungle sometimes I'm at the front of the line I ain't tripping But I stumble sometimes Then I get right back up Then I get right back up It's like a jungle sometimes I'm at the front of the line I ain't tripping But I stumble sometimes Then I get right back up Then I get right back up Liars and thieves Best believe That their record is ?? Weapons of ma** destruction The reason for catching saddam Lack of concern for the environment affected the storm We can predict the levees breaking Like a zeppelin song The president warned But before the levees broke The people was They already owned the oil there So there ain't nothing they need from us Caught up in +the fog of war+ They let the big easy flood You telling me that you would do what jesus does? No, I don't believe you would The master teacher's back here to speak with us With the pa**ion of a preacher And raps that make the speakers bust The way he tackles the topics Will have an agnostic Acknowledging the last prophet Fulfilled the promise of frederick dougla** Acquainted with d**h He step among us On the blocks and corners The people he taking steadily getting younger (?) You ain't over or getting younger I'm getting older, I ain't getting younger I know there's strength in numbers
