Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it
'Fore we see it, you take it
[Verse 2]
Oh, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
[Verse 3]
This ain't livin', this ain't livin'
No, no, baby, this ain't livin'
No, no, no, no
[Verse 4]
Inflation, no chance
To increase finance
Bills pile up sky high
Send that boy off to die
[Verse 5]
Oh, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
[Verse 6]
Hang-ups, let downs
Bad breaks, setbacks
Natural fact is
Honey, that I can't pay my taxes
[Verse 7]
Oh, make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
Makes me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
[Verse 8]
Crime is increasing
Trigger happy policing
Panic is spreading
God knows where we're heading
[Verse 9]
Oh, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
They don't understand
[Verse 10]
Oh, mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Mother, who are they to judge us
Simply 'cause our hair is long?
