[ Featuring Dro Frazier ]
Politics as usual
The poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting rich
Through the process of gentrification, projects being hit
Some harder than most, people selling to float
To keep their head above water, eventually they go ghost
We're living in a museo, I know I said it before
Communities ain't the same, the destination remote
That's why I'm always on my toes 'cause they tipping over shit
Too many 50 percenters, in the middle of the shit
Kapernick kneeling while everybody in feelings
Like the glass half full and they scared to refill it
Just a waiter for checks, don't want to be the one next
I'm just speaking my mind, just like the freedom of press
I hear the devil calling y'all, still reply with a text
'Cause you care what people think, so you rather impress, huh
Forever a slave, the invisible chain
Here's a message to you, be yourself and be great
Ain't no truth in these lies, read between the lines
Times now are critical, there's evil in disguise
Kids killing kids, it's getting harder to survive
And the cops abuse minorities but now we're asking why
Tough pill to swallow, racism still exist
Make America great again, Republicans convinced
Trying to build a wall but the Democrats against
It's politics as usual
Dro is not Republican, Democrat either
I don't like to choose between the less of the evil
Never cared for politics, I don't see change
We got different presidents, but my hood still the same
Twelve shot you dead, right up in the street
And wonder why we still scream f*ck the police
Y'all against abortion, but not lethal injection
See murder is murder, no matter the intention
Divide and conquer, have you ever heard of it
Now tell me are you a Liberal or Conservative
The power of propaganda, again and again
As seen in the beginning will be seen in the end
Give government officials, water from f*cking Flint
And don't let them drink nothing else until that shit gets fixed
You want to build a wall, okay that's cool
Imma Mexican and use to politics as usual
Ain't no truth in these lies, read between the lines
Times now are critical, there's evil in disguise
Kids killing kids, it's getting harder to survive
And the cops abuse minorities but now we're asking why
Tough pill to swallow, racism still exist
Make America great again, Republicans convinced
Trying to build a wall but the Democrats against
It's politics as usual
Here's the twist to the plot, let's take it down a level
Get it together corporate America, shit don't get no better
The good old boy system, we're falling victim it's a setup
They slide in who they want, excuse the bullshit that they tell us
Feed us these lies, in hope we savory it slow
It's like we're trying to drink the kool-aid like those Jonestown folks
Peep the food for thought I'm cook, hardly fall but cushioned
Bracing for the impact, the service table crooked
Discrimination still alive, I be feeling it
Ass kissing took a rise, in concealing it
Uncle Toms running their mouth, so quick to tell on you
Backstabbers all in your circle, they're turning squares on you
Sounds like a lot in a little bit
But I'm so sick and tired of the bullshit
More drama for Pete's sake, harder on weekdays
A price for everything, best match on eBay
What lies right in front of you, will lie right in front of you
Rob you of everything, and take it right from under you
Lying through they teeth, still reality you got to chew
Real life scenarios, it's evident you got the proof
Nobody's safe, and that's just how it goes
Crooked ass cops, up on a payroll
Snatching up bodies, like Simon said so
It's politics as usual
It's politics as usual
