Dear Government I Have Something To Say


Dear Government do you hear me I have something to say

I saw a man blow his whole check on some shoes yesterday

All of this propaganda, media is all for show

It's like spend it before we get it is all we know

And when I look into the market there's no more substance

Just a price tag with a good that says press the button

To spend another dollar into the economy

While another rich rapper says hey look follow me

How can we believe in a system where the service is our oppressor

Where the master who holds the whip….

goes by the name “Debt Collector”?

Please wake up people time to expand your mind

We equate utility

by the amount on the dollar sign

This Consumer Market is something I must rebuttal

They kill us with our desire

And bury our credit with a shovel

And for some to believe Customer profiling doesn't exist

Tell me why black people are in a hole before 26

This isn’t something I made up This is truly real

I’ll die a free man b4 I ever kneel

As a slave

In a consumer's market

Where our pockets are the target

Selling anything imaginable to get to our wallet

These businesses men don’t care about us there truly heartless

They’d sell air in a bottle if peopled by it off the market

I guess that’s why I stack up and stay out the marketing mix

And I’ll continue on my own until the market is fixed.
