Rockets, moon shots Spend it on the have-not's Money, we make it Before we see it, you take it Oh, make you want to holler The way they do my life Make me want to holler The way they do my life This ain't living, this ain't living No, no baby, this ain't living No, no, no Inflation no chance To increase finance Bills pile up sky high Send that boy off to die Make me want to holler The way they do my life Make me want to holler The way they do my life Hang ups, let downs Bad breaks, set backs Natural fact is I can't pay my taxes Make me want to holler And throw up both my hands Yeah, it makes me want to holler And throw up both my hands Crime is increasing Trigger happy policing Panic is spreading God knows where we're heading Mother, mother Everybody thinks we're wrong Who are they to judge us Simply because we wear our hair long |
