It Was You Who Lied 2 Me

Machine guns -n- fatigues, flags burning, learjets carrying blocks of pure gold across many seas, countries at war over greed, children starving, living in 3rd world poverty, Columbian cocoa leaves processed -n- treated, then sold by the boat load all over the world by the key, all these drugs being sold, but ain’t no cure 4 cancer or sickle cell nor certain STDs, more people dying from heroine -n- cocaine abuse than AIDS -n- HIV and I’m from the streets, trust -n- believe they ain’t reporting all the homicides that’s really occurring in DC, over 400 million -n- cash -n- property confiscated off a DC based drug conspiracy, schools closing, but the mayor keep spitting that bullsh*t ass philosophy, atrocity after atrocity, autopsy after autopsy, after church what does the reverend ask of me, money -n- testimony, I believe in God, but sometimes I feel religion is phony, you can’t force me 2 believe those God’s words, that’s impossible, homie it’s a war going on -n- my own government after me, I met the devil he told the truth, it was you who lied 2 me, if I let you kill me, I must wanted 2 die, sounds like suicide 2 me, I come from the days men were ashamed, now they’re proud 2 be a he-she, it’s a war going on -n- this world is after me, machine guns -n- fatigues, flags burning, learjets dropping off blocks of pure gold across many seas, it’s a war -n- this world is after me, but how can I defeat lust, power -n- greed -n- poverty, and how do I beat this monopoly that’s capitalizing off me, statistically this government is after me, I was a runaway slave until they captured me, now I live under those with f*cked up qualities -n- these spirit breaking policies, so now I stand alone free with a torch in my hand, like the statue of liberty, now the whole world watches me, yet our country’s currency doesn’t have my race nor face on its dollar bill, that shows a reflection of me, prison packed country broke, dollar lost its value, sounds like poverty 2 me, the world is a ghetto, can’t you see the devil told the truth, but it was your ass who lied 2 me.
