Marlon Craft - Politickin' lyrics

Verse America the beautiful, home of state murder Corruption and pharmacuticals, hatred that's institutional Bullsh** that i maneuver through, take yo' stagnant wages And be a good consumer you, choose the facts thats true to you Elections are upon us, if only that implied That reflection was upon us, Im sitting here worried Bout who's next up in this office, on one hand We got ignorant negligent and pompous, but yet i still acknowledge That on the the other side we got in debt to corporate sponsors Say she'll take down big banks while they lay blessins in her pockets I'm questionin it all sh**, ain't saying that its equal But the lesser of two evils ain't impressin me at all its A pivotal moment, our struggles the same but our differences showing Some us still live in the past and some of us live to disown it Some be denying its power, consciences hide and just cower Wishing they could go back to a time when blacks lives didn't matter And it was written in law, times just shifted that's all All we did was modernize racism lynchin's and all Prisons and bars education systems thats missin the par Trump rally klan rally more shared traits than differences dog It's that routine divide and conquer Cuz when you hate your enemy the wealthy always prosper I swear its like half of the country is gone off of a qualude Banks put millions out their homes but you mad at a gay dude My sis college loans cost pops 7 percent While banks whos greed left people jobless on sheckles and cents Gt it for 0.7, and we don't see no trickle down And capitol hill wonder why we think their words fickle now Supposed to be a government run by checks and balances But they seem more concerned with checks and what their balance is I wonder how they turn it up at a congress party Do they be like we in the building! cuz they damn sure getting lobbied Its capitalism, see you work for who's paying you So do your homework, find out who's funding that campaign that you Supporting, know the truth then hit the booth and lay that vote down I know it feel like bullsh**, but they banking that you won't now Can't give control to the reality star with a thick head People say he got balls but all i see is a dickhead We can't condone the hate we can't let our brothers and sisters down Start with local elections then take the whole system down I ain't preachin' but i just had to sit through a lot of speeches Sift through a lot of feces seeking truth in a hopeless place sh** I'm just tired of the lying in this b**h Since we couldn't feel the bern lets start a fire in this b**h This election will be rough lets find a diamond in this sh** And after gettin' rid of trump form an alliance that don't quit For love peace and equality, socially economically Might think you left or right but LOVE is one ideology And if you ain't with spreading that you getting left in the dust Your breed is dying leave y'all in an incestuous dump The youth is alive, we looking forward with most prudent of eyes Willing to dedicate our lives so that truth can survive
