no money more problems


In poverty we've lived under power for as long as we can remember and not only do our roots grow in our culture but within crack pavements designed without treasury see our mothers had us here, Beneath our street ancestors blood, bleeding our scars that were carved in from the minute we were Born, making our blood run from the suburbs of Harlem New york to the murals painted on the Mexican streets of L.A leaving us into itching hands for money from our secret Great depression because of our colored skin we have always lived in this urge to escape the four walls that make the ghetto and yet there are still the pages in our books labeled history of our people only to make white people look better because their money problems are much more greater than my family ever had it as if they didn't make the sun cities of what use to be Mexico kneel before them, and the whips that cracked on a slaves back during the seasons of cotten and grapes though these times weren't are fate cuz after all these years were still left in dept and low minimum wages paying for our own sufferin And theirs is this fucke up economy which probably won't last long since they expect money from other countries Shit America would shut down if Bill gates wasn't rech anymore leaving us under same impressions as we have always been known for, farm workers to maids serving civilized rich people from the 1968 assasinated preachers teaching us that even if one day we unite were still different because of money See for as long as we can remember they were born in their own benefits raising politics jobs and schools for their own kind which is why we're scripted in books of only all the times we were looked down upon, making there pages live on chapter one and its from starts from the Europeans conquering our broozed up bodies with money then it ends with the rest of us dying of empty hands in...poverty
