We never see no dollar
My people (we never see no aid)
My people (we never see no dollar) (look, look)

Where the dollars at? Where the money go?
Say they talk fast, but they move slow
Pop champagne and make it rain
God down the drain, who feels the pain?
The president take the money and hide it
And celebrate while the people divided
Over here we call it, poverty pimpin'
The bootlicking, the people, the victim
Kissing the ass of white power

Going all out 'cause it's now or never
Breaking the chain, we gon' sever
The head of the parasite, we taking it there tonight
