[Verse 1]
First off say peace to Pine Ridge
Shame at all the damage the white man wine did

Ghost dance, Trail of Tears, 5 million beers a year
And all that other crime did
More peace to the teachers of blind kids

To rebels in small cells keeping their mind big
Say everything's hostile
Suicide bombers and prosperity gospels, emaciated models

With cocaine and blood pouring out their nostrils, they got to
Just to stay awake on the catwalk of life where everybody watch you
Straight hair, high heels and a handbag

Crucifixes, racism and a land grab
Katrina, FEMA trailers, human body sandbags
A peace sign and a pants sag

A money toss cause a 9 stripper mad dash
A friend request following a hash tag
Now everybody want it like a last laugh

A Michael Jackson jacket or a daft mask
Purple Jordans or the mixed girl in your math class
Stable is when the Ba'ath had Baghdad

But corporate jets really had to have that gas bad
War and they hope they all fall from the ratatat
Cause that's just more dinosaur for the Cadillac


[Hook]
Live from the other side what you see

A bunch of nonsense on my TV
Heaven on Earth is what I need
But I feel I'm in Hell every time I breathe

Reporting live from the other side what you hear
A bunch of nonsense all in my ear
Rich man, poor man, we all gotta pay

Cause freedom ain't free, especially 'round my way

[Verse 2]

And we marvel at the state of Ottoman
Then turn around and treat Ghana like a garbage can
America's a big mother$#&@in' garbageman

If you ain't know, you're part and parcel of the problem
You say no you ain't, and I say yes you is
Soon as you find out what planned obsolescence is

You say no they didn't, and I say yes they did
The definition of unnecessary-ness manifested
Say that we should protest just to get arrested

That goes against all my hustling ethics
A bunch of jail ^!$$%s say its highly ineffective
Depart from Martin, connect on Malcolm X tip

Insert Baldwin to similar the separate
To me, the truth is more fulfilling than a meth hit
Or finding really fast internet to have some sex with

It's all one song short of a set list
Couple croissants shy of a continental breakfast
Or blowing out your birthday candles just to make a death wish

So absurd, word to Chief Bone Necklace
Down at the Lakota Sioux Casino
A whole culture boiled down to giving you pokeno

I go as left as a heart in the chest
Cause the Horn of Africa is now starving to death


[Hook]

[Verse 3]

An all white Los Angeles, the dream of Mr. Chandler
Hope and pray they take Columbus day up off the calendar
South Central an example of God's gifts

So shout to all the mothers raising babies in SPA 6
The projects of Oakland city, Detroit ghost towns
Monopolies on poverty where D-boy !@%!e bound

It's parts of Manila like the video for "Thriller"
But the US Embassy is reminiscent of a villa
If poverty is chocolate and privilege vanilla

Then what's the flavor of the Sunday preacher's pedophilia
Cash rules everything around these ^!$$%s
As classrooms everywhere around me wither

Hither you can be Mr. Burns or Mr. Smithers
The tyrant or the slave but nowhere in the middle
Of the extremes of America's dream
Freud fighting Neo, Freddy Krueger refereeing, now...
