lyrics
Chorus
We're at our limit now/ enough is enough / you sitting on billions of dollars / but what about us?! / One government / One world motto / "In God We Trust" / but what about us?!
Verse 1
I write my rap quotes on bank notes / and bank statements that don't make sense / around the time it's time for me to pay rent / my patience is running out / the truth is coming out / abuse of clout / ceo's using large amounts we could never dream of / for leisure / it's like we're in a war without a heater / or broke at a casino / staring at the dealer / light your sensimellia / they rush to lock you up for puffing on the stress reliever / and Obama wouldn't stop em / neither would Mc Cain / let me explain / I got lost playing your game / they pumped a couple slugs in my frame / y'all tax payer slayers / turn the other cheek deregulators / trust betrayers / Reagan, Nixon, and Petraeus poorly portray us / program us just to sway us / promise us favors / then use em' just to dominate us / Oh now you're printing $700 Billion just to save the children? / Y'all muthafuckaz bout to make a killin'
Chorus
We're at out limit now / enough is enough / you're sitting on billions of dollars / but what about us?! / No health care / just enough change to ride the muthafuckin' bus / what about us?! / Our biggest mistake was giving you trust / you living plush / and you don't give a fuck about us / One government / one world motto / "In God We Trust" / but what about us?!
Verse 2
Is this in our best interest / to infest the world with stress / just so you can dress best? / I guess you answered "yes" / as we linger at the precipice / just a hair from dyin' / hear the cryin'? / that old couple with the hopes of retirin' about to clap you with the iron / tryin' hard not to let go / of goals they set from the get go / lost their power in the price of petrol / and now they're petro / and so the story goes / death with no memorials / tutorials on this don't exist / income tax is just a myth to make the bankers richer / so they can sell you half the picture / and seize your assets quicker than you can go acquire em / we have the right to fire em / instead we're co- conspiring / through silence / through science that's social / and economic / they manufacture our consent to make a profit / the paper's been powerless since they left the gold standard / they're using currency to rule the whole planet
Chorus
We're at out limit now / enough is enough / you're sitting on billions of dollars / but what about us?! / No health care / just enough change to ride the muthafuckin' bus / what about us?! / Our biggest mistake was giving you trust / you living plush / and you don't give a fuck about us / One government / one world motto / "In God We Trust" / but what about us?!

This record is dope as Hell and continues Mr. Lif's mastery of rhymed storytelling. The first two tracks feed into each other as a harrowingly real tale of a new relationship grimly overshadowed by the girlfriend's stalking ex-lover with things inching closer & closer to inevitable confrontation. Brilliantly creative and very true to life, these are hallmarks of Mr. Lif and this new record is instructive, entertaining & worth attention. Sir Reginald Styles

This is the type of art that I'm always looking for. Honest. Story presented as a sort of folding of previous classic technique and still coming out fresh. To be moved forward with great work. Ben "Angrycrow" Nix-Bradley
