American Gap Rap
The rich get rich, and the poor get poor
And baby, that's America's ongoing score
Millions for a poster, billions for an ad
But pennies for the children gone to bed sad
Should I get up and go ride to school?
Maybe getting slots that others will rule
Or should I get up and work at the store? (Yep)
Maybe getting paid enough to be shored
Walking by one on the ground with a sign
He didn't try a job, says the recurrent lie (lie)
Tax cuts voted for causing big guys (big guys)
To close your job and see America's size
'Cause baby, you are a monstrous thing of the skies (the skies)
I want to support you, but you won't reply (won't reply)
Why can't you see of me, hungry on the ground
Waiting for moments where people make sound
Where people make sound (come on)
People are saying, "Get me a job!" (get me a job)
But voting like religion's off in a cloud (haha)
Say you're for me, and I'll be glad
Why have my vote, and I'll ignore all the bad
Trumping people's logic in a furious way
That I ain't seen since, like, yesterday (what)
Sticking in the rusted belt of the past
In a time, year, and place that just won't last (just won't last!)
Thinking you can turn our country back down
The road of the corporate Falwell's crowd
Singing your tunes of helping the poor
While voting to expand the shareholders' door
You naughty biscuit
You're testing me
'Cause baby, you are a monstrous thing of the skies (the skies)
I want to support you, but you won't reply (won't reply)
Why can't you see of me, hungry on the ground
Waiting for moments where people make sound
Where people make sound
Why can't you see of me, hungry on the ground (ooh)
Waiting for moments where people make sound
Save me America, tell me what to do (ooh)
I am so lost, but all I think of is you
'Cause baby, you are a monstrous thing of the skies (the skies)
I want to support you, but you won't reply (won't reply)
Why can't you see of me, hungry on the ground (oh yeah!)
Waiting for moments where people make sound
Where people make sound
G-G-God bless A-America-ca-ca
And baby, that's America's ongoing score
Millions for a poster, billions for an ad
But pennies for the children gone to bed sad
Should I get up and go ride to school?
Maybe getting slots that others will rule
Or should I get up and work at the store? (Yep)
Maybe getting paid enough to be shored
Walking by one on the ground with a sign
He didn't try a job, says the recurrent lie (lie)
Tax cuts voted for causing big guys (big guys)
To close your job and see America's size
'Cause baby, you are a monstrous thing of the skies (the skies)
I want to support you, but you won't reply (won't reply)
Why can't you see of me, hungry on the ground
Waiting for moments where people make sound
Where people make sound (come on)
People are saying, "Get me a job!" (get me a job)

Waiting for moments where people make sound
Where people make sound
G-G-God bless A-America-ca-ca
