(chorus)

what is a republic, a democracy, a vote?/

behind a podium is a cirlce of lies, a joke/

big lies, thinkin if people swallow 'em, they'll choke/

got y'all viewin the thesis/

when they use us, they need us/

term after term, people at the booths, choosin the leaders.

(verse 1)

the authorites got a serious vice, hassle me/

disputin & denyin that they purposefully tamperin with price of gasoline/

all the basic needs reachin a price tag which is so high/

they promotin scantiness, the hungry lookin thin, seein shoulderblades & all spines/

i think that one of the worst fuckin things is a politian/

shiftin directions, corrupt & inequitous, somehow God is fishin/

in this pond called a world, someone right can administer what's needed/

poor livin in shacks no bigger than a bathroom, what's needed?/

food, shelter, raise minimum wage, lower taxes, reduced crime/

steering towards an objective, don't pay mind to rappers that only induce shine/

history's meant to teach a lesson...never to repeat mistakes of the past/

but it's not workin is it? certain few can afford toothpaste, mouths brazen with plaque/

all them bodyguards, suits & motorcades/

hidin the ugliness behind the power, thankin the day the voters came/

to cast they ballots, policies inadequate & budgets got no meanin/

illeteracy abundant, dropout rate risin, they got more reasons/

to reconsider they actions, pilferin funds to gratify hunger for material things/

healthcare costs too much, the people let down as CEOs sing!

(bridge)

sniffin inequality, the noses/

it's been a long time since righteousness stood, heroics/

lookin out for themselves, markin calendars & ads for voters seekin the booths/

praise this or spit on it, i'm speakin the truth.

(chorus 2x)

(verse 2)

oppression constrains, whose side u on?/

ghettos ignored, babies born into harshness, majority don't know right from wrong/

investments unsparing, hospitals with lack of medical supplies/

natural disasters unrecognized, homeless victims, this present prose of mine/

statin what goes on, lawyers & judges paid off, lotta perjury/

congress just had a predator on a seat, piece of shit who thirsts for teens/

conventions & debates is spectacles, personal attacks/

mixin up facts, see a country desecrated...burn it slow, the flag/

that is, symbols & monuments got no honor no more/

terrorism's used as an excuse, they opted cold war/

cats younger than me gettin they limbs blown off for another's man's gain/

heaven sounds so bliss, many wanna die cuz they feelin grand pain/

pictures of fallen soldiers on t.v. & attached names/

decisions made for all the wrong reasons, trivializin the struggle/

exclude minorites, reforms for immigration, seein 'em fightin & huddle/

neighborhoods where cops won't dare to show up/

these cowards don't face issues head on, they all fold up/

a lotta things gotta change, i feel dismayed as the general public's all froze up.
