Erykah Badu - Twinkle

they don't know their language
they don't know their god
they take what their given
even whan it feels odd
they say their grandfathers and grandmothers work hard for nothing
and we still in this ghetto
so they end up in prisons
they end up in blood

they keep us uneducated,
sick and depressed
(they end up in blood)
doctor i'm addicted now
i'm under arrest
(they end up in blood)
we makin' mo' money than a muthaf**ka
(they end up in blood)
with no choices there's no hope for us
(they end up in blood)

started with a rhyme from old ancent times
decedents of warlocks,
witches with ill glitches
children of the matrix be hittin' them car switches
seen some virgin virgos hanging
out with venus bitches

saul:
ancient egyption language

i dont have to tell you things aren't good.
everybody knows things aren't good
we know the air's unfit to breathe
and our food is unfit ot eat
young punks are running the street
no one knows just what to do
and there's no end to it
(there's no end to it)
the dollar buys a pennys worth
banks are going under
congress are keeping a gun under the counter
we sit watching our idiot boxes
while some local anchor man
tells us that
today we've had 18 murders and 80 violent crimes
as if
that was the way things was suppose to be (be, be,)
we know times are bad
worse than bad
people are crazy (crazy, crazy)
its like everything everywhere
is going utterly mad
so we never leave our homes
we sit in our comfy abodes
while the world is getting smaller
and we say
come on
at least leave us alone in our family rooms
let me have my microwave
and
flatscreen
and my
20 inch rims
and i won't say anything
just leave us alone
well i'm not gonna leave you alone
i want you to get angry
i don't want you to riot,
i don't want you to protest,
i don't want you to write your senator
because i won't know what to tell you to tell him
i don't know what to do about the reccession
and the inflation,
and the crime in the street
all i know is that you got to get mad
you've got to say;
i'm a human being damnit
my life has value
