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
