Been So Long (Feat. Crooked I) - Sally Anthony, Crooked I

It’s been so long since hip-hop spoke to the problems of the world

Something’s going on

It’s like a conspiracy to stop us

Nobody knows what goes on inside of me

So this time I’m rhymin' out of my diary

See I ain’t scared of society or Bill O’Reilly

Get tyranny could never silence or even quiet me

I’m watching every step you make, every breath you take

I’m thinking F you snakes

I’m focused on the future, I wonder ‘bout my nephew’s fate

Probably worse than FEMA’s Katrina rescue rate

And I ain’t talking Crip or Blood when I say red-blue state

I mean Democrats and Repub’s, best educate

Yourself, ‘cause the drama’s real

And Fox News Corporation want Obama killed, keep it trill

Barack getting hated on by right-wing extremists

You’re hating on yourself ‘cause he’s half white you genius

You’re damn right, and Glenn Beck you redneck asswipe

You’re presently a dick and in your past life a penis

I mean it

And I know that something is going on

‘Cause we haven’t spoken for so long

It’s been so long

Dear Mister President, it’s time to cut your charm off

Reachin' across the aisle to those who will cut your arm off

The topic of public options set the alarm off

Look at the town halls, that was they downfall

They was supposed to be discussin' health insurance, but they wasn’t

They was cussin', «Hang that nigga by his brown balls»

I heard 'em screamin' and I believe in freedom of speech

But I also believe in treason, so what’s the reason?

The people in Texas are stressin' succession?

Answer that question

The answer is complexion, it ain’t perplexin'

They never wanted to see a black man move America the right direction

Stop the war and fight recession

I represent for my citizens who don’t have a chance

Can’t afford a dental plan or a ride in an ambulance

For my soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan

Hope you don’t get tortured by the Taliban

‘Cause we waterbordin' it’s so important, man

Can I ask you somethin'?

Have you changed or are you the same?

(Let me know)
