Zi - No Open Door lyrics

[Chorus: Zi] Having enough to feed your family is it too much to ask for Looking around and there's no open door See the rich gets richer off the poor Why don't we let the president go to war Having enough to feed your family is it too much to ask for Looking around and there's no open door See the rich gets richer off the poor Why don't we let the president go to war [Verse 1: Zi] They say change is coming but they ain't saying from where They're pretending they're bluffing they really don't care ‘Cause there's no rain above ‘em so f** what happens over there They call it life or bad luck when we call it unfair See between the rich and the poor there's a world I don't call it a gap They got more power than us but still they stab us in the back 30 years of loyal services they got the nerve to treat you like trash And if you got nobody to support you your house will turn into a bag See money rules the globe to a point where socialism is a bad word Plus half of us don't vote so what we go through doesn't really matter Life is a b**h but I ain't mad at her Bullsh** is bullsh** even if they bring it to you on a silver platter And the few who make it from the bottom to the top are quick to kick the ladder [Chorus: Zi] Having enough to feed your family is it too much to ask for Looking around and there's no open door See the rich gets richer off the poor Why don't we let the president go to war Having enough to feed your family is it too much to ask for Looking around and there's no open door See the rich gets richer off the poor Why don't we let the president go to war [Verse 2: Zi] Individualistic society is an oxymoron Don't call this conscience rap call it a love song See I ain't mad at you getting money but the way you act is so wrong You got it you can buy it but the consequences you ignore ‘Cause Scarface was a liar man the world ain't yours Stopping an earthquake is not something you can pay for See we're all equal in front tragedy in front of God So we all need each other whether you like it or not That's why we call it a society and not a jungle But they've turned it into a place where you try to see the other stumble It's about what you do and don't do other than that nobody hates you It's about dignity and justice not about begging for your paper To have a chance to make even if we weren't favored by nature [Chorus: Zi] Having enough to feed your family is it too much to ask for Looking around and there's no open door See the rich gets richer off the poor Why don't we let the president go to war Having enough to feed your family is it too much to ask for Looking around and there's no open door See the rich gets richer off the poor Why don't we let the president go to war [Verse 3: Zi] I ain't trying to kick knowledge I ain't trying to sound smart This sh** ain't coming from my brain sh** is coming from my heart I wanna be good citizen but why would I vote at all When the pen that writes checks is the one that writes laws See we save banks with our taxes but who saves us They like to blame rappers politicians showing fake love But we get paid for making music you get paid to change stuff It maybe changing for them but it ain't changing for us Keep thinking y'all can backstab us we're getting laced up And people telling me it's just the way it is But I believe in throwing up a fist I believe in men I believe I'm not the only one believing in this And I believe in a different definition for rich We had enough love Obama but I believe in changing things from the bottom up [Chorus: Zi] Having enough to feed your family is it too much to ask for Looking around and there's no open door See the rich gets richer off the poor Why don't we let the president go to war Having enough to feed your family is it too much to ask for Looking around and there's no open door See the rich gets richer off the poor Why don't we let the president go to war
