| [00:00.47] | Sample |
| [00:01.13] | You get up and howl about America and democracy |
| [00:08.90] | There is no America, there is no democracy |
| [00:13.13] | We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies |
| [00:16.52] | The world is a college of corporations |
| [00:20.91] | Inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business |
| [00:27.19] | The world is a business |
| [00:32.41] | And I have chosen you to preach this evangel |
| [00:39.04] | Intro |
| [00:39.29] | For all my free market, health care-robbing |
| [00:41.99] | Stock-stealing, retirement fund fuckin'-with niggas |
| [00:45.34] | Fuck you little credit card-scamming, jewelry-stealing |
| [00:48.56] | Crack-selling, liquor store-robbing motherfuckers! |
| [00:54.06] | Shout out to the homies Carnegie, OG Willy Randolph Hearst, |
| [00:57.74] | Farouk, Rockefeller – the real Rockefeller |
| [01:00.39] | My main bitch Leona, pour out a little Louis the 13th |
| [01:03.42] | Scott Rothstein, Jack Abramoff, hold ya head |
| [01:06.21] | My Rothschild niggas: Let's get this money! |
| [01:08.80] | Verse 1 |
| [01:09.00] | I spend my day pairin' America overseas |
| [01:10.95] | Pension for the workers, nigga please |
| [01:12.94] | Embezzlement etiquette, private settlement |
| [01:15.13] | I'm better with confederate rhetoric |
| [01:16.97] | From my mansion in Connecticut |
| [01:18.56] | Foreclose, evict hoes out of tenement |
| [01:20.21] | I twist words like a speech impediment |
| [01:22.04] | I hope you got good credit, bitch |
| [01:23.70] | If not, better get a new job with benefits |
| [01:25.75] | While I play golf with niggas I get cheddar with |
| [01:27.68] | New money buys brand new carats |
| [01:29.47] | My old money bought your great grandparents |
| [01:31.37] | You got grills in your mouth, I ain't mad at ya |
| [01:33.22] | I own every goldmine in South Africa |
| [01:35.20] | Thanks, baby, you made me a billion |
| [01:36.94] | Plus I own a building |
| [01:37.89] | For each one of my children's children; that's the shit |
| [01:40.49] | Snort coke in the whip, Miss USA suckin' my dick |
| [01:42.78] | Yeah, what! Fuck the law, ‘cause real jail is for suckas |
| [01:46.57] | I go to country club prison, you dumb motherfuckers |
| [01:50.31] | (I am the 1 percent, fuckin' bitch!) |
| [01:53.35] | Hook |
| [01:53.84] | You know my CEO, corporate steeze, please |
| [01:57.22] | Overthrow governments overseas in a breeze |
| [02:00.86] | Politicians in my pockets for a few hundred G's |
| [02:04.40] | So if I'm ever in court, my assets'll never freeze |
| [02:08.69] | Verse 2 |
| [02:08.99] | I got a job and a house and a bank account |
| [02:10.75] | When I'm out, I doubt that's something you can say |
| [02:12.49] | And if not then I'll fake death like Kenneth Lay |
| [02:14.63] | Make money everyday the world burns on its axis |
| [02:16.62] | While y'all strugglin' to pay taxes |
| [02:18.11] | I'm gettin' my money the fastest |
| [02:19.85] | Memos and faxes, shredded up documents |
| [02:21.76] | Slush funds through the corrupt continents |
| [02:23.65] | But they don't want me indicted |
| [02:25.45] | ‘Cause they don't want my dirty laundry aired when I fight it |
| [02:27.29] | Don't get my lawyers excited |
| [02:28.68] | ‘Cause what good is a law if you can't rewrite it? |
| [02:31.02] | I got CIA traitors, dictators |
| [02:33.31] | So fuck y'all whistleblowers and haters! |
| [02:35.31] | (Sheeeiiitt!) I'll invest money from al-Qaeda |
| [02:40.20] | In the bank 9/11 widows go to later |
| [02:42.19] | Capitalism's who I pray to, fuck the state of the world |
| [02:46.13] | Money talks, so what the fuck I need to say to your girl? |
| [02:50.06] | (I don't pay them to fuck, I pay them to leave!) |
| [02:53.35] | Hook 2 |
| [02:53.60] | You know my CEO, corporate steeze, greed |
| [02:56.85] | I treat countries like the IMF, down on your knees |
| [03:01.33] | Real gangstas run the world, fuck what you believe |
| [03:04.92] | I'll cut down a forest while you niggas burnin' some trees |
| [03:08.60] | I'll get your family murdered for a couple of G's |
| [03:12.38] | ‘Cause your working class money ain't fuckin' with me |
| [03:15.98] | You think rappers are rich ‘cause of songs you heard? |
| [03:19.31] | My labels make the money and haven't rapped a fuckin' word |
| [03:23.05] | Verse 3 |
| [03:23.35] | Yacht in the ocean, coastin' with the sails out |
| [03:25.60] | Hey, America, thanks for the bailouts |
| [03:26.99] | I made off with the Banco Ambrosiano |
| [03:29.19] | Got away scott-free like El Vaticano |
| [03:31.03] | Activists act a bitch, get mad at me |
| [03:32.72] | ‘Cause of my tax-free charity |
| [03:34.26] | 80 percent to the staff and company |
| [03:36.40] | And 20 percent to the homeless and hungry |
| [03:38.25] | The country gotta pay the Fed Reserve |
| [03:39.94] | Kick back to the banksters—haven't you learned? |
| [03:41.74] | You protest cops or patrols on the street |
| [03:43.63] | But I bought city hall, so I own the police |
| [03:45.42] | Email, Facebook, and the shit you tweet |
| [03:47.32] | All the phone companies, so I heard you speak |
| [03:49.06] | And my suggestion is your correction |
| [03:51.11] | No elections, sex with no affection |
| [03:53.05] | No invention will benefit the world of man |
| [03:54.64] | Will exist 'til I've got the money in my hand |
| [03:56.48] | World Bank interest rate damn rape on the spot |
| [04:00.02] | But I'm a gangsta, you gon' take my money, like it or not, nigga |
| [04:04.45] | (I got your country in my pocket, motherfucker!) |
| [04:08.19] | Hook 3 |
| [04:08.39] | You know my CEO, masonic steeze, cheese |
| [04:11.73] | Only little people pay all these taxes and fees |
| [04:15.87] | Since you were born, we've controlled what you watch and you read |
| [04:19.46] | And pretty soon we're gonna own the fuckin' air that you breathe |
| [04:23.24] | I take what I want, fucker, I don't have to say please |
| [04:26.97] | I convince you that it's good for you, take it and leave |
| [04:30.81] | You think presidents are a face of a nation? |
| [04:33.60] | I put 'em all where they are, end of the conversation |
