People was poor before the hurricane came But the down pour poured is like when Mary J. sang Every day it rains, so every day the pain But ignored them and showed 'em the rains was to blame But life is a chain, cause and effected Niggas off the chain because they affected It's a dirty game, so whatever is effective From weed to sellin' kane, gotta put that in effect Wouldn't you loot, if you didn't have the loot? Baby needed food and you stuck on the roof And helicopter swooped down just to get a scoop Through his telescopic lens but he didn't scoop you The next five days, no help ensued They called you a refugee because you seek refuge And the Commander-In-Chief just flew by Did he stop? No, he had a couple seats Just proved jet blue he's not, jet flew by the spot What if he ran out of jet fuel and just dropped? That woulda been somethin' to watch Helicopters doin' fly-bys to take a couple of shots Couple of portraits then ignored 'em He'd be just another bush surrounded by a couple orchids Poor kids just 'cause they were poor kids Left 'em on they porches, same old story in New Orleans Silly rappers, because we got a couple Porches MTV stopped by to film our fortresses We forget the unfortunate Sure I ponied up a mill, but I didn't give my time So in reality, I didn't give a dime or a damn I just put my monies in the hands of the same people That left my people stranded Nothin' but a bandit, left them folks abandoned Damn, that money that we gave was just a Band-Aid You can't say we better off than we was before In synopsis, this is my minority report Can't say we better off than we was before In synopsis, this is my minority report So many times, I'm coverin' my eyes Peekin' through my fingers, tryin' to hide My frustration at the way that we treat (Seems like we don't even care) Turn on the TV, seein' the pain Sayin' such a shame Then tryin' to go on with my life Of that, I too, am guilty (Seems like we don't even care) So we send a little money, tell 'em it's alright To be able to sleep at night You will pay that price While some of these folks' lost their whole life (Seems like we don't even care) Now it wasn't on the nightly news no more Suddenly, it didn't matter to you no more It went in, almost nothing changed What the hell, what was that for? (Seems like we don't even care) Seems like we don't even care Seems like we don't even care © CARTER BOYS PUBLISHING; Bu döküman AkorMerkezi.com'da yayınlanmıştır. http://www.akormerkezi.com
