Dollar Day



Mos Def - Dollar Day - Текст песни

  • текст
So there's a story about the lady in Louisiana 
She's a flood survivor and the rescue teams 
They come through, and they, I guess tryna recover people 
And they see this women she's wadin through the streets 
I guess it'd been some time after the storm 
And I guess they were shocked that you know she was alive 
And rescue worker said, "So, oh my God h-how did you survive 
How did you do it? Where've you been?" 
And she said, "Where I been? Where you been?" 
Hah, Where you been? You understand? 
That's about the size of it 

This for the streets, the streets everywhere 
The streets affected by the storm called... America 
I'm doin this for y'all, and for me, for the Creator 

God save, these streets 
One dollar per every human being 
Feel that Katrina clap 
See that Katrina clap 

Listen, homie, it's Dollar Day in New Orleans 
It's water water everywhere and people dead in the streets 
And Mr. President he bout that cash 
He got a policy for handlin the niggaz and trash 
And if you poor you black 
I laugh a laugh they won't give when you ask 
You better off on crack 
Dead or in jail, or with a gun in Iraq 
And it's as simple as that 
No opinion my man it's mathematical fact 
Listen, a million poor since 2004 
And they got -illions and killions to waste on the war 
And make you question what the taxes is for 
Or the cost to reinforce, the broke levee wall 
Tell the boss, he shouldn't be the boss anymore 
Y'all pray amin 

God save, these streets 
One dollar per every human being 
Feel that Katrina clap 
See that Katrina clap 
God save, these streets 
Quit bein' cheap nigga freedom ain't free 
Feel that Katrina clap 
See that Katrina clap 

Lord have mercy 
Lord God God save our soul 
A God save our soul, a God 
A God save our souls 
Lord God God save our soul 
A God save our soul soul soul 
Soul survivor 

It's Dollar Day in New Orleans 
It's water water everywhere and babies dead in the streets 
It's enough to make you holler out 
Like where the fuck is Sir Bono and his famous friends now 
Don't get it twisted man I dig U2 
But if you ain't about the ghetto then fuck you too 
Who care bout rock 'n roll when babies can't eat food 
Listen homie man that shit ain't cool 

It's like Dollar Day for New Orleans 
It's water water everywhere and homies dead in the streets 
And Mr. President's a natural ass 
He out treatin niggaz worse than they treat the trash 

God save, these streets 
One dollar per every human being 
Feel that Katrina Clap 
See that Katrina Clap 
God save, these streets 
Quit bein cheap nigga freedom ain't free! 
Feel that Katrina Clap 
See that Katrina Clap 
Soul survivor 

God God God save our soul 
A God save our soul 
A God, a God save our soul 
Lord God God save our soul 
A God save our soul a God a God save 

Lord did not intend for the wicked to rule the world 
Say God did not intend for the wicked to rule the world 
God did not intend for the wicked to rule the world 
And even when they knew it's a matter of truth 
Before they wick-ed ruling is through 

God save, these streets 
A Dollar Day for New Orleans 
God save, these streets 
Quit bein cheap homie freedom ain't free 

God save these streets 
One dollar per every human being 
Feel that Katrina Clap 
See that Katrina Clap 
God save these streets 
Quit bein cheap nigga freedom ain't free! 
Feel that Katrina Clap! Ha 
Ghetto Katrina Clap! Ha 

Soul survivor 
Lord God God save our soul 
A God save God save our soul 

Feel that Katrina Clap 
Let's make them dollars stack 
And rebuild these streets 
God save these streets 
God save these streets 
God save the soul! 
Feel that Katrina Clap 
See that Katrina Clap 
Soul survivor 

Don't talk about it, be about it 
Peace
