Money Parade

It was all about sweet 16, innocence lost

Lost, fallen for Kelly, blonde chick and I thought

I thought money was god and Rome was built in a day

As they salute the troops floating on the money parade

Let's say it:

Be all you can be. Be black, be white, be proud, be free

Get money, get yours. Get a girl, get a wife. That's love. I'm poor

Find god right now. Go to church. Go to work. Clock in. I'm down

Nigga, pay your bills

But I can't do shit. Because I ain't got money in my pockets

When I get that fucking check from this bullshit ass job that I got. Yo

Sweet 16, heroes and all

They try, eight die, fighting fear for a cause, they march

Eight soldiers with a thirst for blood

Front lines. Land mines. Took two as they fall. It's war

Four glooms all in unison the same

Fuck bells. They yell. Let liberty reign

And then when two shots rang in to save the day--

Kill Jill, kill Bill in the money parade

Drink deep, roaming the land

Hope floats but nothing obtained

I don't see any love in your eyes

Just pretence defence, a well of lies

Fuck you! Never stood up for nothing

Pillar of ignorance, toppled on spires of selflessness

Die, fools, die! Nothing can ever live

Plastic is policy. Poison punch for kids

Can you hear me out?

Tired of bullshit, so tired of bullets, and

Tired of blood on my hands.Tired of superman

Tired of fangs hiding behind smiles

And tired of white people. And tired of niggas too

Beautiful murderer in the sky

Please bless us with open eyes

Sorrow, tomorrow lies

We'll be redeemed

No!

Fire in the hole, as we run on coal

Silver and gold, exchanged for the soul

Do what you're told. Don't do what you feel

Wheat, dairy, textiles, steel

Middle East and Africa

Watch your back, because we're after ya

Money parade for money to take

Money that's spent from money that's made

In the end, it's the bottom line

Suck it up and you quit that crime

Work to the bone. Don't sleep. No kids

Grab that check and spend that bitch

We need cops so you pay that tax

Who needs god? We got equifax

Who needs god? We got equifax

Hello, progress. Fade to black
