(feat. Triune) | |
[Chorus: KRS-One & Triune] | |
Have mercy Mr. Percy | |
4 million people out of work, right now | |
Can't find a cent to pay my rent | |
Half of the youth population out of work, right now | |
Give me another day | |
Homelessness risin' upon families | |
So I can try to find my way | |
Word up! Homelessness | |
[KRS-One & Triune:] | |
And I work | |
Several resumés on E-Mail | |
And I work | |
CD's I'm sellin' my beats | |
And I work | |
Part time at the retail | |
And I work | |
I'm just about to be in the street | |
And I work | |
The car that I'm drivin' around | |
And I work | |
Will I ever be on my feet again? | |
[?] | |
We tellin' 'em this now | |
[KRS-One:] | |
Frankly, I don't see how | |
You can't see how you really, homeless now | |
When the emergency hits, who really holds you down? | |
When the sheriff's at your door, ready to throw you down | |
With the state of the economy and the way that it is | |
Many men are at the door with their wife and their kids, saying | |
[Chorus: KRS-One & Triune] | |
Have mercy Mr. Percy | |
4 million people out of work, right now | |
Can't find a cent to pay my rent | |
Half of the youth population out of work, right now | |
Give me another day | |
Homelessness risin' upon families | |
So I can try to find my way | |
And I work | |
Tried drive taxi cab | |
And I work | |
Enrolled in a technical school | |
And I work | |
My friends, my family for a loan | |
And I work | |
Dollar caps and car pools | |
And I work | |
Just another day now | |
And I work | |
I'm gettin' paid now | |
[?] | |
We tellin' 'em this now | |
[KRS-One:] | |
Everywhere across the nation | |
More people are joining the homeless population | |
From the south, to the north, to the west, to the east | |
People can't pay their mortgage or their lease | |
And last but not least | |
You better hear what I'm saying | |
So many men are at the door with their kids saying | |
Have mercy Mr. Percy | |
Can't find a cent to pay my rent | |
[?] | |
Give me another day | |
4 million people out of work right now, you gotta do something! | |
So I can try to find my way | |
[?] | |
[KRS-One:] | |
We're on the brink of revolution | |
You let it get to hot | |
So many people tryin' to hang on, and just cannot | |
They must have forgot | |
Last night's news spot | |
Read like a news murder plot | |
Starring who got shot | |
And very little upliftin' | |
Just who got knocked? | |
Very little givin' | |
Everybody's heart is locked | |
And they call this a civilization? | |
Where I can't even find work, with proper employment qualifications | |
Hip-Hop is the name of my nation | |
Where everyday is Saturday and 12 months is vacation | |
Peace, love, unity, havin' fun | |
You can tell by now, I'm not the average one | |
[Triune:] | |
Get choked for the dope here | |
Get stabbed for the stash | |
My X is brash | |
I rap for grabbin' the cash | |
They search for the blackless faces | |
So no need checkin' your [?] or applications | |
[?] | |
How the fuck I make thirty grand a year | |
With dudes holding a masters degree | |
It makes no sense, so I make no sense | |
Using my mind | |
[?] | |
There's a war going on outside, no man is safe from | |
I'm Tri-Uno, some call me the great one | |
Until Bush meet people in my community | |
I'm hustling for [?...] till I get an opportunity | |
Have mercy Mr. Percy | |
Can't find a cent to pay my rent | |
Give me another day | |
So I can try to find my way |
